Goals are like the landing gear of your dreams and personal longings. It is important to work on your mission, and be clear about your dreams, but if you do not set goals, you will not know how to achieve what you want so much. It is with the goals that you make your dreams come true, and with the goals is that you can develop logical action plans that make what you expect visible.
Many people write goals according to the wishes of the moment, such as a study, a material good, a trip, etc. And it's not bad, sometimes we must set ourselves these goals and achieve things for ourselves. However, once you reach them, you no longer know what else to do. That is why the subject of goals is more transcendental and must go beyond personal interests.
The goal of goals is that they are goals with purpose, that really help you fulfill a noble mission to which you have decided to invest your life. When your dreams include helping others and using your talents and skills to serve and impact society, your goals are also focused on this goal, and so, once you meet a goal, even bigger ones come. Goals like this never end, all your life you will feel that you are full of meaning and satisfaction.
Goals are like a map indicating where you need to go. Many people dream of great things, and practically anyone you meet is going to be clear about some dreams, which are generally very ethereal and unspecific; however, if you ask them how they are going to fulfill their dreams, very few give any answers, and those with a detailed plan are really rare. But when you have clear dreams, and you set goals, these dreams can come true, you can take them to a physical plane, not only in the imagination.
Goals outline your sense of purpose, allow you to have a clear focus on where you want to go, and also let you know if you are walking where you are not. Many times things do not go as planned, and that is usually the case; and only having these clear goals you know if the plan that you make to fulfill them is viable or not. You can also change the goals or modify them if the conditions are not favorable. But all this happens when you have them clear; If you have not raised or written them, very little will you be able to discover the path to your dreams.
Some important characteristics of the goals are the following: they must be specific; you must write them; they must be achievable and realistic; they must be objective; they must be measurable; they must have a deadline; And one of the ones that I consider most important, must be according to your dreams and desires. In the weekly newsletter you can discover many more details about the goals, and how to elaborate them.
For all this that we have described is that you should take the time to set good goals, write them down and detail them, that are compatible with what you dream of. It is the only way to get an overview of how you are going to do things, and they are the basis for generating action plans that really help you move forward.
