How to set A GOALS?

Hello Guys, Welcome to the Motivation Series “How to Set a Goal”. I hope this article will help you understand the Importance of Goad setting in our lives. Goal setting is very important for everyone’s life. Let’s understand it with an example.

 Occasionally, we start our journey without any destination. I remember, one day we had a hockey match. Then, I was a hockey Player and I joined the TNT Hockey Club. I was the center forward Player of the team. It was a beautiful Sunday evening around 4:00 pm. Just before the match, our captain motivates us extremely. We were highly charged up and motivated to win the Match. So, It seems we will win this match by a big margin.

How to Set a Goal

The other team’s preparation was the same as the opposite team. They were also charged up, and highly motivated as well. They were also confident to win the match with a big margin. Soon the match started both teams attacked strongly against each other. But both teams were unable to score a single goal. The match continued at a fast pace till half time. At half time, we came to know the reason, why both teams were unable to score a single goal, because there were no goal post. It means, at that time, we did not know “How to Set a Goal”.

My Friends, our lives are like hockey grounds without a goalpost. We don’t have any aim or goal setting in our lives. We are running everywhere all the time. So goal setting is very important for anyone’s life. So, let me share 5 steps that help you to set your goals.

1 – Your goal should be specific.

Firstly, you should know exactly what you want from life, where you would love to go, and where exactly you want to reach. Let’s understand this with the example.

Example “How to Set a Goal”

If you have to visit Lahore (A City of Pakistan), you will definitely reserve the seat of Train or Bus in advance. You know the exact time of departure. And you have to reach the bus terminal or Railway Station well before time. You ask the ticket seller to give you the Ticket specifically for Lahore.

Friends, how we specific for the journey of only 4 to 5 hours or City to City, But our life is a big journey and there is no specific destination at all.

2 – Your Goal should be Measurable.

Secondly, your goal should be measurable like travelling to Lahore. You know exactly when you reached, Chakri, Bhera, Shaikhupura, and then Lahore. So, your career goals should also be like that which you can manage and calculate the progress of your Goal.

3 – Your Goals should be Achievable.

Thirdly, you should set your goals in such a way, they can be achieved. Sometimes, we set such a big goal that demotivates us and sometimes we set goals that are too low and do not inspire us. So always set Goals that can be achievable.

4 – Your Goals should be Relevant

Fourthly, your goals should be relevant. You cannot reach Lahore on the bus which is traveling to Karachi. It means that your goals should be relevant. If you want to be Head of Sales, you should be in the sales Profession.

5 – Your Goals should be Time Bonded.

Lastly, your goals should be time-bonded. If you set a goal that you want to be a Head of Sales and there is no Time Bond or Time Frame, it is not a goal. It is a dream only. So, Your Goal may be that you want to be head of sales in the next 4 years. Then you should work hard and continue towards your Goal within the time frame.
