SUCCESS RECIPES : Goal Setting

Ever wondered how your jollof rice would taste if you cooked it without using salt? It would be weird, right? You definitely won't get to enjoy the food!

Well, let's make that comparison to seeking success in life without setting goals.. It's impossible!

Last week, I showed us a video that explains the role our mindsets has to play in achieving success in any aspect of our lives. 

Setting goals places a picture in your mind... A clear image of your proposed destination.

You really can't keep playing guesses around situations of life and expect distinct results.

You need to have a resolve!

To set goals successfully, you have to answer the question, WHY? Really successful people combine their ambitions with their passions.

You have to be intentional about what you want to achieve and how to go about it. 

To meet up with your goals, you need to set up other minute steps that will lead you to the main goal.

You don't expect to get to the top of a three storey building by just looking up. You need to go through the stair way or the elevator.

Setting goals gives you focus: In this generation where so many are pressured into living fake lives and imitating others, goal setting is the factor that will help you to be yourself and stay focused.

You wouldn't find me in a fashion house learning how to design clothes because my plans and purpose do not in any way involve such.

Setting goals gives us the drive and energy to do everything it takes to achieve it. We live and dream about reaching our goal, and everything becomes part of the journey.

You'll often hear great people say that failure is part of the success equation.. but note that after several failures, what keeps you going is a clear picture of where you're headed.

If Thomas Edison wasn't vision minded, he wouldn't have tried the patent for light bulb 10000 times.

I have often failed at some things but it never made me stop trying! 

Setting goals helps you set your priorities right and define your values. In a way, being vision minded helps to trim out worthless friends and habits.

It is very easy to spot someone who has a direction which he's headed to. It'll show in his association, daily living, habits and his way of life. The sooner you know where you are headed, the earlier you get there.

Conclusively , There is a popular saying that “If you don’t know where you are going , every way will seem like the right way."

Ensure you set your goals, write them down and run with them!

With love from your friend, Maggy.
