Almost everyone dream of making things possible for themselves. The world is filled with dreamers who have gone a long way in dreaming but failed in working out the actualization of the dream all because they fail in setting goals and putting their plans on paper.
Also, most of us set goals without even understanding ourselves. I have set goals that I personally believe are not achievable because like every other sensitive being, I always want more out of life. As we learn ABC of alphabet so also we should understand ABC of goal setting.
In setting goals, put these into consideration:
Attainable.
Your goals must be very attainable. Do not set unrealistic goals. Goals that you cannot even achieve a bit of. There is no point is setting a goal to read 100 books in a week or even a month. Set goals that you know that you can attain. For instance, if you want to read a book in a week, break the pages down in units. Read the units daily. That's how it works.
Believabe.
It is said that whatsoever the heart of a man can conceive, it can achieve. Believe that you will be able to attain that goal. This is where faith comes into the scene. Faith according to the scripture asserts that "it is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen." Believe in your goals as much as you believe in yourself. If you have the goal of winning a hundred soul to the kingdom, believe you can do that in a timespan.
Concrete
This is the rigidity of your goal. It is not just any goal but a realistic goal. Habbakuk 2:2 says " put you vision( goals in my context) plain on tables so that he may run who reads it" Write your goals down so as to work towards it. Break them down. Short-term goals, long-term goals, lifetime goals. Make them realistic enough and keep working on them.
Afterthought
Goals are vital in the fulfilment of visions. Vision is the big picture but goals are the steps to making the vision possible. Set your goals in accordance to that big picture.
Thanks for reading through. God bless you.
