Setting and Achieving Your Goals |
So you want to be more
successful at work, you want to make changes to your house, and you’re still promising yourself
that you’ll start to exercise. Does this sound like you? If it does, then you may need help
with setting and achieving personal goals.
Why should you set actual goals? Here’s one reason: When you set
clear goals, you can watch your progress in achieving them, and you can feel proud when you finally
reach them. Each time you realize a dream, you feel better about yourself. As you become more
confident, you’ll be able to achieve more difficult goals. Here’s how to do it.
First, you need to decide what you want to do with your life
— identify your big
dreams. Set a | long-term
plan for fulfilling your dreams. Then set short-term goals that will help you take smaller steps to
achieve your long-term goal. For example, make plans for the next five years, one year, six months,
etc. You can even do the same thing for short-term goals. Just make smaller plans.
And here’s another tip. The results of one
university study have shown that many people are more motivated to reach a goal when another person
is trying to meet the same or a similar goal. So if you need some extra help with meeting your goals,
try finding a co-worker to share that work project with, a friend to help you paint the house, or a
workout partner to exercise with. | | | Example: a If you set goals for
yourself, you _____. a. can feel good when you reach them b. might not need help achieving
them c. will become successful
|

A | identify what you want to do | B | have a childhood dream | C | share your work

A | set long-term goals | B | set short-term goals | C | reach a long-term
