As we finally approach the last 279 hours of 2010. I would like to say a big thank you to all our subscribers, those who have taken active steps to secure happiness and success by either following our blog or taking time out every monday to read and apply these strategies. Well done guys!
Goals, Goals, Goals -
A few weeks ago we spoke about 2011 being an audacious years, filled with great manifestations, derived from your [audacious] goals. I am confident that many of us have heard and studied the ideologies and power behind goal setting. Yet I believe it is imperative that you hear it again, understand it and apply the concept to your everyday living.
A goal is synonymous with objectives - a planned projection or intention. In saying this, many of us, have and do set ourselves goals, however, numerous authors and scholars have suggested 'a goal [objectives] that stays in your minds is merely just a dream', therefore implying its intangibility [Incapable of being realized or defined].
Conceptualisation - putting your goal into perspective is key to the process of attainment.
A good friend, Davies (1984) suggested that 'tabulating your goals and vision, releases immense unrealised power' - he implies that goals should be clear and concise, thus enabling you to focus and attack [purse]. Atkins quoted 'A goal should be written as concise as a battle plan'. This provides clarity and strategy. Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, quoted 'Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat'. It is of utmost importance that you strategise and structure your goals.
Gone are the days of merely listing down your goals or just having them tucked away into frontal lobe (the left cerebral hemisphere) [enables us to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions] . You MUST begin TODAY to 'consciously map out the steps/plans/strategy you will take towards achieving your dream. (Davies, 1984).
Many authors talk about goal setting, yet they fail give us the reasons as to why 'Goal Setting' it is vital [context enables greater understanding].
There is immense power in taking your goals from your head and transferring it to paper. The process forces your mind to stretch and encourages a vital process called visualisation [If you search through my previous messages or blog you will find the topic 'visualisation'].
The transition from your mind to paper draws on vital feelings and emotions, that will encourage you to endeavour. It forces you to clearly define what your goals are. It encourages clarity.
A process many authors, such as Brian Tracy recommend is mind-mapping. Mind mapping (similar to a spider diagram) allows you to list, break down and develop your goals further. Furthermore, it is an excellent creative tool, that encourages creativity, brainstorming and develops your learnability.
An interesting article, I read some time ago, stated that, only 2% of Americans wrote down their goals. [Just a thought - I wonder why only such a small percentage achieve their life long goals - Food for thought!]
Davies (1984) suggested that goals should be 'broken down into months and quarters to give the impression of deadlines'. Therefore, ensuring short-term goals are linked to your medium and long terms goals.
As an early christmas gift, Davies (1984) has sent us all a useful DreamTracker tool, that will enable us to keep our goals and aspiration alive and active in our minds. [Including in the attachment] - Please print and put it somewhere you can look at it as a reminder everyday/week/month so your goals remain Visual and Conscious at all times.
You should start by filling in your goal at the bottom first and then mapping your steps afterwards.
Every month you should to fill in Yes/No as you go along, at the end of the year you should fill in the 'Next Year' box and carry over the dream & advice to get even closer to achieving it.
Hope you enjoying experimenting with the DreamTracker and developing your goals further. Davies (1984)
Have a brilliant week.
