Determine Your Goals (SMART Goals)
If
you ask most people what is their one major objective in life, they
would probably give you a vague answer, such as, "I want to be
successful, be happy, make a good living," and that is it. They are all
wishes and none of them are clear goals.
Goals must be SMART:
1. S--specific: For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful
thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 10
pounds in 90 days."
2. M--must be measurable: If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.
3. A--must be achievable: Achievable means that it should be out of
reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight,
otherwise it becomes disheartening.
4. R--realistic: A person who wants to lose 50 pounds in~30 days is being unrealistic.
5. T--time- bound: There should be a starting date and a finishing date.
