Enhance Your Life – Goals

The previous 3 articles highlighted the positive changes you could make in your Health, Relationships and Wealth to enhance your life and overall self-concept.  In this article, we take a closer look at your Goals.  Numerous studies have shown that those with goals outperform those without goals in every area of life.

Goals

Do you have goals?

Being excited about the future and making consistent progress in life will enhance your concept of yourself. Having goals creates a sense of purpose, direction, and control.

Setting goals does not have to be onerous, try these tips for creating simple and effective goals:

1. Set goals with a 12-week timeline (no longer!)
   It’s hard to maintain focus and enthusiasm longer than this. If your goal is too big to reach in 12 weeks, set smaller goals that will move you in the same direction.
2. Measure your progress
   By checking on your progress regularly (e.g. each week), keeps your goals fresh in your mind and provides the feedback you need to maximize your effectiveness.
3. Get excited about your progress
   If you want to enhance your self-concept, feel good about yourself at every opportunity. Most people have been stuck in the same place for years, so any progress in life is worthy of celebration.

Setting goals can be an overwhelming process, but it doesn’t have to be. Having a few goals and making regular progress can be great for your self-concept. It proves to you that you can make changes in your life and control your future.

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, 

not to people or things.” ~Albert Einstein
