Setting Goals

Ben Franklin set aside time every day to review two questions. In the morning he asked himself, ” What good shall I do today? “In the evening he asked, “What good have I done today?”

The greatest achievers in life are people who set goals for themselves and then work hard to reach them.

What they get by reaching the goals is not nearly as important as what they become by reaching them.

Do you want to set goals for yourself? If so, use the following guidelines:

Make the goals attainable: Start with low fences, easily achieved goals, and work your way up.

Make the goals measurable: You will never know when you have achieved a goal if you are not measuring them. Measure your goals and it will give you a sense of accomplishment when you attain them.

Clearly state the goals: When goals have no clear focus, you will have a hard time trying to achieve them. Take clear, focused actions!

Put the goals in writing: When you write your goals down, it makes you more accountable.

It is important to encourage your potential self to review your goals and your progress daily.

Leading From Within: Help yourself today by setting clear and focused goals.
