Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you must concentrate your efforts. You’ll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.
Top-level athletes, successful businesspeople and achievers in all fields set goals. Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. It focuses your acquisition of knowledge and helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your life.
Setting sharp, clearly defined goals, helps you to finally achieve your aspirations and purpose. You will recognise your own ability and competency which will raise your confidence and happiness.

Follow these simple steps to make your New Years Resolution stick:
Make your goals S.M.A.R.T.Y. to ensure the best outcome.
ย
Your goals are S.M.A.R.T.Y. when they are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely and YOURS!
ย
- ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐: Specificity is key to setting good goals. Instead of saying, โI want to exercise more,โ consider, โI want to run.โ
- ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐: A measurable goal will allow you to set benchmarks for yourself so you can see your progress. To stick with the running metaphor, running isnโt measurable; one kilometre, however, is measurable. With that measurable distance in place, youโll be able to develop a plan that has you running farther each week.
- ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐: Make sure your goal is in reach. For example, if youโve never run before, deciding to run a marathon in two months is likely too extreme, though it may become attainable later.
- ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ: Goals are only worth setting if theyโre relevant to you and how you want to grow as a person. Instead of deciding to learn to run because your friends run, youโll be more successful if you have a genuine desire to run that kilometre.
- ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ: Give yourself a timeline so you have an immediate urgency helping propel you forward. For example, โI want to be able to run a kilometre in six weeks.โ
- ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ: Ensure that the destination is truly your goal and not that from your partner, parent, boss or someone else in your life.
