Goals Setting Formula That Improves Your Personal Life

In life, we have the formula to use that helps us to create goals that assist us in improving our personal life. To start these goals, however, we must use our inner qualities. The inner qualities include skills, ability to commit, ability to set priorities, ability to accept failure, the will to say no, and so on. We have self-awareness, personality, and other details within. As well as those characters that help us to find ways to improve our personal life.

"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." This is a quote from Tony Robbins, the author of the book: Awaken The Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!

Once you find your qualities, start to develop them and you'll find it easy to set goals. To get started consider brainstorming the long-term goals, the short-term goals, and the evaluation of these goals. Brainstorming some more, continuous evaluation, and so on. And in doing so, you'll want to consider managing your time as well.

"I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things

 or that I have already reached perfection. 

But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, 

but I focus on this one thing:

 Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. 

I press on to reach the end of the race 

and receive the heavenly prize for which, God,

 through Christ Jesus, is calling us." 

Philippians 3:12-15, NLT.

Be sure to start your plans with short-term goals. The short-term goals should lead up to your long-term goals. Short-term goals should include what you want to accomplish in the next few years. 

Do you plan to open a business? 

Do you plan to move to another place? 

Do you plan to start a new job?

Do you plan to start writing your book? 

Do you want to enroll in a new course?

Each question will lead you in a good direction as you find answers. For example, If I plan to open a business in the next few years, then it's sensible to ask these questions: 

How do you plan to open that business? 

What business are you considering?

 How will you get the money (capital) to start your business? 

Do you have a business plan?

What are your market and your competitive advantage?

You have many options, so check your resources, learn new resources, and constantly continue building your dreams to improve your personal life.

After you lay out the plans for your short-term dreams, start working toward your long-term goals. By now, you should already have found your 'calling' to reach your dream destination. For instance, in the next ten years:

What do you see yourself doing in the long-run? 

What kind of legacy do you leave to the next generation?

How much immune to stay afloat is your business?

Use your visions and voices you hear inside to cultivate a better plan. Do the research and brainstorm your ideas thoroughly. And at the same time apply the creative, imaginative, innovative, and analytical mindset to make the best decisions.

To set up long-term plans keep them realistic. There are two available kinds of goals setting techniques you can apply in your life. The first one is abbreviated as SMART goals and the second one as HARD goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely. On the other hand, HARD stands for Heartfelt, Animated, Required, and Difficult It is the achievement of the second one - the HARD goals that will bring to you much satisfaction.

Be sure that your long-term falls in accord with your short-term goals. For example, if you plan to start a business in the next few years, build upon this dream and plan to become productive and established shortly after business conception. Start saving money to back your plans. You will need to set up a budget that allows you to save money. Actually, you have many options so spread your wings and get ready to take-off and reach for the sky as your limit. 

“The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.” 

1 Peter 1:9, NLT

Here's an animated video that gives us a complete guide on goal setting. This video was produced by Jack Heimbigner. In the SMART goal technique discussed above, Jack had added ER to maker it read - SMARTER goals, where E and R stand for Evaluate and Reward respectively.
