Goal Setting: 3 Goal Setting Necessities

As we enter the festive season, we also enter the goal setting season. New years, rather than any other time, people set goals, most of which never get achieved!!! Today we wanted to share with you three goal setting necessities that will help you achieve your goals. The necessities focus on developing the goal itself.

1) Make your goal valuable: The goal has to be a goal that you deem to be valuable. Think about how the goal will benefit you and the wider society of friends and family around you. This is a crucial step as it will save you from following frivolous goals that won’t be of any benefit to you or those around you.

2) Is your goal a absolute necessity: This is a critical point. If your goal is essential you have a higher chance of achieving it. For example, lets say you have a large amount of debt that is severely impacting on your lifestyle. If this is the case then getting out of debt is an absolute necessity. Likewise if you have a health problem, then overcoming it becomes an absolute necessity.

3) A goal is a process not just a result: As long time goals-4-life suffers you will know that a goal does not sit by itself, there is a process behind it that helps you to achieve your goal. When considering your goals, write down the proposed process, and evaluate what steps are involved.
