ONCE YOU ATTAIN YOUR GOALS, CREATE NEW ONES

It’s never too early to think about personal goal attainment for the new year and begin the planning stage of the process.  Writing down goals can unravel potential achievements.  A person can look at them and analyze if they are one, several, or one enormous goal with different parts.

A person needs to ask themselves a few questions while this stage commences:

• (Even though you may already know the answer, ask yourself)  What are my values?

• Are any of these goals unimportant? 

• How realistic are these goals? 

• How long (i.e., a guesstimate) will it take for this particular achievement?

• Do any of these goals necessitate resources to bring them to fruition?

• Which ones take priority over the others? 

• Which ones are short-term or long-term goals?

• Will any of these goals lead directly to the conclusion of a longer-term one?

• For those of you with a Project Management background, is there a deadline (i.e., the end date) you would like to achieve any personal goal?

Thinking and planning can reduce the unnecessary emotional discomfort of any new goal season.  Also, a person should understand that having limited goals doesn’t mean they’re limited as a person.  They’re focusing on the most important goals that they can visualize will reach a hard-earned reward.  Visualizing an accomplishment is 90% of the work!

All the best to you as I know you will succeed in bringing your goals to fruition!

*As an aside, every day is a new season of the planning stage for goal attainment.  Also, if the terms “goals, goal-attainment, achievements, and accomplishments” are too overwhelming, give them a nickname to make those efforts reach a positive conclusion.
