Write goals in several time frames. To get a
comprehensive vision of your future write down:
·
Long-term goals. Long-term goals
represent major targets in your life. These goals can take five to 20 years to
achieve. In some cases, they will take a lifetime. They can include goals in
education, careers, personal relationships, travel, financial security –
whatever is important to you. Consider the answers to the following questions
as you create your long-term goals: what do you want to accomplish in your
life? Do you want your life to make a statement? If so, what is that statement?
·
Mid-term goals. Mid-term goals
are objectives you can accomplish in one to five years. They include goals such
as completing a course of education, paying off a car loan, or achieving a
specific career level. These goals usually support your long-term goals.
·
Short-term goals. Short-term goals
are the ones you can accomplish in a year or less. These goals are specific achievements,
such as completing a particular course or group of course, hiking down the
Appalachian Trail, or organizing a family reunion. A financial goal would probably
include an exact dollar amount. Whatever your short-term goals are, they will
require action now or in the near future.
Awesome tips Marcelina. You're quite a motivator. It must come from experience, eh?
ReplyDeleteOne thing I'd like to add in addition to your great words is that we're never to old to keep learning. Life is an educational journey that doesn't cease until the very end.
Happy goal-reaching, my friend.
I learned a lot from this post! Thanks Marcelina. I think it's important to know whether a goal is for short or long term so we can expect when we can achieve them. The point here is very clear that we should set our goals and start achieving them!
