Today’s blog is all about Goals, Goals and more Goals. We are in the fifth month of a 2011 and before we know it will be 2 minutes before midnight 2011 and we will be ushering in 2012.

As a Life Coach and Author I have a passion to see you achieve their Goals, become Excellent in all areas of your life and also walk in your Vision and this is one more platform I can use to help you write and achieve your Goals and in turn become a person of Distinction.

Have you scored your Goal today?

You might be asking why I would ask such a question.

Well let me start with a description of what a Goal is. Goal can be described as aim, end, target, intention, plan, purpose, ambition and aspiration.

All your written Goals have to be S.M.A.R.T which stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Tangible.

It’s the 2nd week in May and I want to ask you what your Goals are for today? In fact what are your weekly, monthly and yearly Goals?  Do you know that having a clear and defined Goal for your life will take you from exhaustion to Excellence, watcher to Winner, stagnancy to Success and breakdown to Breakthrough?The reason I have emphasised Excellence, Winner, Success and Breakthrough is because before I started writing and achieving my Goals I could honestly say my life was that of a stagnant onlooker with no notable breakthroughs or achievements. I remember the football World cup in 2010 (My American friends call it soccer) was labelled one of the most boring World cups and I came to realise the reason why it was called boring was due of the lack of Goals that were not scored during the competition. Hence, the games lacked the excitement they were built up to deliver. I’ve actually come to realise that Goals are very much needed if one needs to aspire to a higher and new level of Distinction and Excellence and Goals especially when achieved after writing them down actually makes life very enjoyable.

 KEYS TO WRITING YOUR GOALS

One of the keys to achieving your Goals is to write them down, I don’t know about you but so many things go through my mind on a daily basis so writing my Goals is paramount to achieving any tangible Success. So if you haven’t already done so I would advise you to buy a journal/manual or use your computer/laptop and make a real decision to write down your daily and weekly Goals. You have to understand that my daily Goals will be different from your daily Goals and your daily Goals will be different from say your neighbours daily Goals, I presume you have neighbours but you could actually be reading this blog in a tent somewhere near the top of Mount Everest.

RESULTS OF WRITING YOUR GOALS

Going to work isn’t actually a Goal but writing down that you will get to work 30 minutes earlier to sort out your emails and complete any unfinished work is a specific Goal that if you do this for say 3 weeks not only will you see a measurable improvement in your productivity I’m pretty certain that your line manager will notice your new found zeal and commitment.

So my dear friend what is your Goal for say your career, business, ministry, health and finances? How many books do you plan to read every month? What about your Spiritual life, Networking Goals and Relationship Goals? If you are married what Goals have you and your husband/wife set for 2011? What about Goals set for your family/children? If you are single and dating/courting what are your Goals? I’m pretty sure that you can relate to at least three of these questions that were asked.

 Until the next time we meet I will end on this note; Do you know that writing and achieving your Goals will make 2011 a fruitful year whist non-achievers will make 2,011 excuses why they never set any Goals? © O. Anyado 2011.
