GOAL SETTING AND GO-GETTING; ANY NEXUS? (PART 3)
In the previous post, the importance of details was emphasized. Your goal or overarching aim should be able to answer two questions; "how much and by when?" It is better to say that "I will weigh 50kg by 5pm on August 20" than to merely say that "I will lose 10kg" The former is more specific while the later is vague. Like the idiom goes, "God is in the details"
Next, your goals should include specific features; the size, shape, form, make, model, colour, year. The truth is that vague goals produce vague results. Hence, you ought to write your targets out in full detail. If you want to gain admission or pass an exam for example, know your specific department, the particular score you aim at or the required cut-off mark.
If possible cut out your ideal results or a matriculation or academic gown and paste them somewhere you could see them often; on your shelf, cupboard, fridge, If it is possible, illustrate your goals with pictures, words and phrases that you cut out of magazines, catalogues and travel brochures that depict your goal as already achieved. Remember, that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hence, you must have an evidence even though you have not attained what you want yet. The evidence must be your strong belief even though it is not yet existing. Remember that you become what you believe.
By so doing, your sub-conscious mind will know what to work on and which opportunities to hone in on in order to help you reach your goals. Have you ever faced a situation where it was only when you made a decision that you wanted something very specific that you began to notice relevant opportunities that could help you attain your goals? Now that is the inherent power in goal-setting.
