You should keep in mind that failure in achieving goals does not matter as long as you learn from it. Feed lessons learned back into your goal-setting program. You must also remember that your goals will change as you mature. Adjust them regularly to reflect this growth in your personality. If goals no longer hold any attraction for you let them go. Goal setting is your servant, not your master. It should bring you real pleasure, satisfaction and a sense of achievement. If it stops, there is no longer a point. Let’s look at an example. The best example of goal setting that you can have is to try setting your own goals. Set aside two hours to think through your lifetime goals in each of the categories. Then work back through the 25-year plan, 5-year plan, 1-year plan, 6-month plan, and a 1-month plan. Finally draw up a To Do List of jobs to do tomorrow to move towards achieving your goals. When you do, you will soon realize that you will be on your way to using your goals setting on a routine basis. The Rewards From Achieving Your Goals If the goal was a significant one, you should reward yourself appropriately. Think of it like this, why would you choose to ignore any accomplishments that you have made? In doing that, you are downplaying your accomplishment which will convince you that it wasn’t that important in the first place. When you have achieved a goal, you have to take the time to enjoy the satisfaction of having done so. Absorb the implications of the goal achievement, and observe the progress you have made towards other goals.
