When I was a kid, I used to follow a daily routine – wake up at five, study till eight, go to school, come back from school and play till six, complete homework before eight, and go to bed at nine. My goal was to become a good student. Goal is what you want to become or achieve. It should be consistent with our values so that we strive for achieving it.
We must have clear goals in different areas of life – family, spiritual, social, cultural, financial, career, education, and health. Neither of goals, in these areas, should contradict each other; otherwise conflicts arise affecting the achievement of several goals.
Writing a goal and thinking of it are not sufficient. We must have clear vision of how and when we are going to achieve our goals. Time is very important in goal setting because it sets a deadline to achieve those goals. Without a deadline, we will think goals as something that we can achieve at our convenience. We may lose our interest to achieve goals when specific time is not determined.
We should clearly determine our goals. Changing a goal is not a good idea because it costs resources and time; however, we can change ways of achieving goals. Goals must be periodically reviewed according to the changes in the environment.
