Today I'm going to talk to you about the importance of Goal setting !
I meet a lot of youngsters and ask them "what is your goal?"
surprisingly , most of them answer either one of the following two statements
1. I want to get a good job
or
2. well, i don't have any such plans, I'm ready to face life as it comes!
the fact is that these two statements are the most harmful ones anyone can have ragarding their career or life !
The first statement cannot be considered as a GOAL because it is not SMART -Specific , Measurable , Achievable , Realistic and Timebound
The second statement shows a BIG lack of ATTITUDE !
Just consider this case- You are planning for a holiday tour. How do you proceed? First , you decide the time period of the tour , the destination and only then you proceed to make the arrangments like transport, tickets, stay and other things, right? Just for a small trip of say 1 or 2 days , You are planning every minute detail .you are planning each and every little things so that you don't face difficulties!
If you are planning so well for a journey of two days , then WHY DON"T YOU PLAN FOR A BIG JOURNEY Called LIFE ??
most of us just travel without any destination and without knowing the "route " in this life! And ultimately reach somewhere! and looking back say "If only I knew that I was coming here , i would have come in a different way!"
Just imagine the difference it would make , if only you knew where you are going !
If only you knew the destination! ..........
So , friends , if you have not given any thought about your destination in life ... then now is the time !
Start thinking, frame a Goal for your Career as well as life!
And Never stop until you reach your goal.
and yes, this doesn't mean that you stop your journey when you reach your goal. Through out our life , we may have to upgrade and set new goals so that our life will proceed as WE WANT IT TO ! And not accepting whathever comes!
Hope you will now start thinking about all what I said and set your SMART Goals for your journey of Life!
All the very best !
