Today's post is about goal setting. I've often posted on some of my other blogs in the past about the extreme importance of setting goals. Then I thought to myself...."Do I actually know anyone who sets and accomplishes goals?!" and I'm not just thinking about friends and family either, but people who have accomplished great and seemingly unattainable things.
I heard that Oprah sets goals, but I read that on some random dudes blog, so I don't know how much truth that this statement holds. If it is true, well then that's pretty cool, and also a bit inspiring, as from what I read about her, she used to be just an average person.
I also read a blog that was written from the perspective of one of those "life coaches" and this guy said that he's had clients who routinely set and achieve goals, but they still aren't happy. That doesn't sound like the way that I want to live my life.
So the lesson that I've taken from this is that no matter what you intend to do with your life, it's not only important to set and achieve goals, but to set and achieve goals that work. You have to think about these things! You can't forget to have fun in the process. Anyone can master setting and achieving goals, but it's something completely different to set goals that have intrinsic value to you.
One more thing, and I can't stress this enough, you have to visualize your goal before you do it. Kind of like making a blue print for building a house. This is going to have to be continued in a separate post tomorrow though, as I don't want to make this a long "boring" kind of blog.
So, untill tomorrow..... Set Some Goals!
