How to set goals
Whether you have small dreams or great expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain. 36 No matter what goals you are setting, getting started can be difficult, but we’ll show you how to build up to even the biggest dream.
² Determine your life goals. 37 What you want to achieve: today, in a year, in your lifetime? The answer to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy,” or ” I want to help people”. A career life goal might be to open your own business. A fitness goal might be to become fit. These goals can be amazingly broad.
² Set priorities(优先的事物). At any given moment, you probably have a number of goals all in different states of completion. 38 If you find yourself with too many goals, you’re going to feel lost and are less
likely to accomplish them.
² Keep track of your progress. Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of both personal and professional progress. Acknowledging the progress made towards a certain goal is key to staying motivated. 39 Asking a friend to keep you on track can also help you stay focused.
² 40 Once you have achieved goals---even major life goals—you will want to continue to grow and set new goals for yourself. Once you run your marathon, you should assess what you’d like to do next. Do you want to run another marathon, but improve your time? Or do you want to run longer distance?
A. Keep setting goals.
B. So be realistic about your goals.
C. It may even encourage you to work harder.
D. Others, however, can be completed in the course of a day.
E. Break the big picture down into smaller and more specific goals.
F. So deciding which goals are more important than others is important.
G. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life.
