Goal Setting 3
My name is Abiodun Fijabi and I warmly welcome you to Leading Right.
Goals help give focus to your energy. In goals your resources find a focus. You are not likely to dissipate your energy on non-essentials if your have goals. Goals help to maximize the use of your resources. To understand this, think of a car engine firing on all cylinders. You just can’t take your dream off the agenda. Every cylinder works to fire the engine of your dream. It is a place you want to be. At least, it is a place I love to be. You will love it when you are passionate about something, especially about something that gives you personal fulfilment and impacts significantly on the society. The good news is: goals help you develop that passion and concentration. That’s why you will not want to do without goals.
Since goals are predicated on your vision, they provide a direction for your life. Your life takes on meaning and life becomes purposeful and exciting. You find a reason to live. Your priorities are set. You are firmly on top of your life. You are better positioned to take on the challenges that seek to frustrate your vision. Commitment to the ideals you believe in is easy. In the uncharted and stormy world such as ours; stability is a treasure. Goals provide that stability – safeguarding us against the frequent and uncooperative changes in circumstances and people’s attitudes to our dreams. In the midst of the ocean of life, we find a firm support in our goals. Really, I think you should do this one thing and do it right – Go for goals.
Have you seen a self-confident man or woman of recent? I mean one who possesses a positive self-image? The likelihood is he or she has clearly defined goals. When your life purpose is known and you are clear minded as to how to achieve it, you exude a rare confidence and your self-image shows an incredible upward swing. That’s something I am sure you will like very much. The reason I think so is you cannot go far without a positive self-image. A defective self-image is crippling. It makes you have a low opinion about yourself. It makes you think little of your self and the level of contribution you are capable of making to the society. Poor self-image gives you a failure mentality. That’s one thing you do not need. It is like going to the warfront with a mindset of being crushed by the opposing army. If you think that is a disaster, then never you attempt to challenge the status quo without well thought-out, practical and time-bound goals.
Again, I advise you to go for goals. Your life depends on it.
