Empowering Self

by | Sep 7, 2020 | Mind

Everyone wants to be happy in life. That means working according to your passion, being financially secure, being healthy, and having ample free time to pursue your interests. I’m satisfied with my current state of affairs, and so thus far, mission accomplished. Happiness is the ultimate objective every Human should have and should be the core of every decision. Your satisfaction will reflect on your behavior. It’s contagious, so people around you would feel it too.

The framework of goals, which is the secret to success, is essential, as they provide concentration, direction, and encouragement. They shape our dreams and allow us to stretch and develop. Despite this, many don’t organize goals because they don’t know how to configure them or understand their importance or fear failure.

One common reason for those who incubate goals but never attain them is that their objectives do not inspire them. You will likely instill more time and energy into something that will excite you. Your goals should motivate you to jump out of bed in the morning to achieve it as soon as possible.

To accomplish your goals, you must know how to anchor them correctly. Objective setting is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve and ends with much hard work.

Your goals give you a vision for the long term and motivation for the short term. It focuses your acquisition of knowledge and aids you organize your time and resources to make the most of your life. Taking the time through goal setting to ponder your own emotions allows you to learn more about yourself. You can make better decisions when you genuinely understand yourself. Embrace your feelings, and then question them. Use those emotions as a guidance to you in your daily actions as you work toward your goals. Here are six goal-setting tips that I recommend to help you join the 8 percent of people who achieve their goals.

  1. Aim High, But Start Low, and Keep Going.
  2. Don’t Let anyone Set The Goals For You.
  3. Be Clear What Success Looks Look.
  4. Understand Why This Goal Is Important.
  5. Track Your Performance.
  6. Celebrate.

To put it in another way: if you want to complete several goals at a time, be prepared to make (significant) sacrifices. The ugly truth is, most people don’t want to give up anything to accomplish a goal. When you want to get fit, you have to be willing to change your schedule and give up certain foods. End goals define outcomes where you’re unwilling to compromise — they describe what you want. Means goals, on the other hand, set one of many paths to reach your end goals.

To sum up, setting goals is the first step to achieving good objectives, representing the first step you have made towards progress. It’s when you gear up from a passive state to being involved in life. If everyone sets a goal for self-improvement, it will lead to a better society as a whole. 

Setting goals and working on them contributes to happiness. Elation comes at that moment after you have touched the wall, looked up at the scoreboard, and see that you have finally accomplished the time you have worked for so long. After completing, the feeling of joy will further motivate you to set for more and bigger goals to stay on the right track. After all, life’s better when we’re happy, healthy, and successful.
