Keep Setting New Goals

This is absolutely essential advice.  I have found that if you set goals, plan to achieve them, and do the actual work to achieve your goal;  you may not get exactly where you originally intended, but you will have achieved a huge amount.

If you”™re not striving for something, you may be stagnating. It”™s important to always be setting objectives for yourself, in both your personal and working lives.

Goal setting and planning are not just one shot deals. Just because you”™ve set some goals and formulated an action plan to achieve those goals, does not mean it ends there.

Here are some ideas to keep the excitement of constant challenge in your life:

• Once you”™ve accomplished all the goals you”™ve set, set some more! Don”™t just sit there patting yourself on the back; remember the feeling of excitement and fulfillment you received when you achieved your goals and then, start setting some more.

How exciting and interesting can your life possibly be if you allow yourself to run out of challenges?

• Periodically update your plan. The beauty of your plan is that it is written in pen or typed out on your word processor; it is not chiseled into a block of stone, which means one thing: IT CAN CHANGE!!

I recommend reviewing your plan every 3 to 6 months and ask yourself such questions as, “Am I still happy with this?” Or, “Is this goal still important to me? Is it a priority in my life?” If the answer is, “No,” get rid of it! Don”™t feel obligated to work toward something just because, at one time, it was important to you. That goal is stopping you from going after what you really want.

People change, our lives and our priorities change. What might have been important a year or two ago, might not be anymore.

Remember, the fun is not just in accomplishing a goal; the real fun is in the journey. What keeps our lives fresh and exciting is to always be going after new challenges. Just keep asking yourself, “What do I really want to accomplish?”
