PERSONAL GOAL SETTING
RUTH E. GARRINO
Goals are what take us forward in life. It is very important for us to set and learn the significance of having goals in life. A life without a goal is like living without a purpose. Having set of goals make things easy for you to get where you want to go and where you want to end up. It is pointless to live in this world if you don’t know how to set your goals because goals give us direction in life. Goals give us sense of direction and allow us to focus with what we do in life. Goals are things that we want to achieve in life and we feel that they will make us a better person once we have achieved them.
Sometimes we live a life without a direction because we become contended with what we see or believe that is all that we can do. Never lose self-motivation and believe with yourself because you may lead yourself to failure once you have stopped believing with yourself. Goals help us to believe in our self. Life is not about planning and setting what we want, it is about achieving or accomplishing them. Setting your goals is by asking yourself if this is what you really want. Time is precious, you need to be sure in every step of the way and you need to work it out with timeline.
You should be careful in assessing your planned goals, if you feel that what you are doing is not working, then you have to make real changes and learned from your mistakes. Life is not easy, all of us commit mistakes and failures are realities in life. Failures should not be reasons for us to stop if we want to get where we want to be. Never run out with choices, take positive and precise actions. You will never achieve your goal without taking actions. Achievers in all fields, have set goals.
Goals help you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life. There are important areas in life you need to consider in setting your goals- family, education and financial. Make sure that your set goals are attainable. You have to commit yourself in attaining your goals because goals achievement requires strong commitment. — oOo— The author is Teacher III at San Juan Elementary School, San Juan, Guagua, Pampanga
