Goal Setting in 7 Easy Steps

Goal Setting in 7 Easy Steps

The three keys to living without limits have always been the same. They
are clarity, competence, and concentration. Goal setting will help you live
without limits. Learning how to set goals is an art. Learn why setting goals is
a necessity.

1. State your goal in positive terms

People often set a goal in terms of what they don't want! "I don't
want to smoke, to be angry..." It's "what I want to do or want to
be" See the difference? Hear the nuance? Are you ready to positively state
every goal you want to achieve?

2. Make sure the goal can be self-initiated and maintained. The goal
doesn't depend on the attitude of your neighbor, on the behavior of your wife
or family. The success of your goal must depend on you, and you alone.

3. Your goal must be sensory specific

Here comes the importance of clarity. The clearer the picture, the more
compelling and the more attractive it is, the greater the drive to reach your
final destination. Act as if the goal is already achieved. Make a very clear
image, in rich details, and you will be so enthusiastic that you will
automatically attract the solution.

4. State the context of the goal.

"Where and when will my goal be achieved?" The answer can be
obvious for some goals but not at all for others. Try to be as specific as
possible.

5. Run a Quality Control check on the goal to ensure balance in all
areas of your home/work life.

Above all, you don't want to lose your balance. When you run this
'Quality Control Check", you play a win-win strategy. Everything is one
system and the whole system must win. You will find peace of mind in knowing
that you are in harmony with the system. Step back and look at all areas of
your life. Is your goal worth it?

6. State the resources needed to achieve the goal: what is the price to
pay?

There is always a price to pay, for everything. There is always some
kind of sacrifice to make when you set a worthy goal. In this step, you will
define all that you will need, in terms of time, money and energy.

7. State the value and the consistency of the goal.

Why do I want to reach this goal? Why is it important to me? Is this
goal in harmony with my vision, beliefs and values? Answer these questions. If
you don't seem to be satisfied with the answers, maybe you should change your
goal. Set a new goal until you feel it is in harmony with your passion, vision
or mission.

When you properly set a goal with this model, two important things
occur. First, you are in State the value and the consistency of the goal
because your entire "You" agrees and offers no resistance. Second,
you are programmed to succeed. Indeed, your very (whole) neurology and
physiology are both instructed to drive you towards obtaining your desired
goal. You're totally focused.

Again, the three keys to living without limits have always been the
same. They are clarity, competence, and concentration. When you set crystal
clear goals, and you respect the 7 must-have conditions, you can literally live
without limits, can't you?
