Know your Goals

The success of any person in their life is determined by how well they set their goals. Knowing what you exactly want, where you exactly stand, benefit of achieving your goals are all essential to achieve your goals and to be a better version of yourself. Living your life without any goal is just like driving a vehicle without any destination. Let us look at some of the ways by which you can clearly identify your goals.

- Identify your desired goal

Identify one or more goals that you would like to achieve in the next 6 months or 1 year time period. These goals can be in your personal or your career area. Some examples can be like getting a promotion in your job, becoming successful in your business, losing weight by few kilos, improving your competence in job, studies or sports. 

- Identify where you stand

Know where you currently stand with respect to your goal. Give the exact details with metrics, reports, statistics etc if possible. Be honest and realistic with yourself in identifying where you currently stand. Note down your strong areas as well as your weak areas. 

- Identify the benefits of achieving your goals

Note down the happiness, satisfaction and the sense of achievement you get when you achieve your goal. What will be your state when you achieve your goals? How would it affect your personal and career life? How will it affect your family members?

- Identify whether the goal is measurable

Make sure that you are able to measure and track the progress of your goal so that you would come to know when you have reached your target. Every 1 month or so, you should be able to measure the progress you have made. If you are not making any progress, you should replan and restrategize your approach in a better way. 

- Live the experience of having achieved your goal

Affirm and Visualize that you have already achieved your goal. So when you have already reached your goal visualize the positive vibrations that it brings to your mind and body. Live that experience daily for sometime. As you vibrate with that positive energy on a daily basis, you would slowly and surely reach closer and closer to your target and finally achieve it.

- Know more about your goal

Analyze and understand clearly what is it that you would like to achieve. Having a vague picture of your goal would not help you to achieve exactly what you wanted to achieve. Only when you send a clear picture with a strong intention to the Universe, the Universe would send back to you what you really want. 

- Connect with the right people

Connecting with a good mentor, coach or a community will help you to progress in achieving your goals. When you meet many people with a common interest who are looking to progress in the same goal that you are aspiring then it makes your progress more easy and interesting. Generally, learning and sharing as a team is more effective than trying to pursue your goals independently.
