22. Goals
“In the absence of clearly defined goals, we are forced
to concentrate on activity and ultimately become
enslaved by it.”
~ Chuck Coonradt

23. Goal Setting
Why set goals?
 Goals are important tools and can change the quality of our
life.
 Goal setting is valuable in all parts of your life, whether it
be in work, sports, academics, business, or everyday life.
 Goals help our conscious mind to connect to our
unconscious mind.
Goals keep us motivated.
Goals help us to achieve our dreams and desires.

24. What are the steps to

They need to be obtainable
You need to be clear about what it is that you want to
accomplish

25. Goals must be your
own
Races are won by individuals.

Academic achievement is made by individual aspirations and
diligence.

26. Goals must be positive
 “The objective of the game is to win, fairly, squarely, and by
the rules, but to win.”
 ~~ Vince Lombardi
 “The object of any competition or task should be to
complete it with honesty and integrity. Without these two
characteristics you lose and ultimately defeat your purpose.”
 ~ LPS

27. Goals must be
measurable
 Measurement is essential, without the ability to
measure there is nothing to compare it to.

28. Get Specific
 If you can’t measure it, you won’t achieve it.
Knowing what we have to overcome or achieve is what keeps
us going.
Without a plan you don’t know where you’re going and it’s
easy to take a wrong turn.
Wrong turns usually put us somewhere we don’t want to be and
take up valuable time.
Clearly defined goals produce results
Unclear goals are difficult to obtain, because you don’t know
what you’re striving to achieve.

29. Goals must show
results

change

size 6 chances are you won’t be a runway model.
If your not motivated to read and study chances are you
won’t become a great scholar.

32. Why must goals be
written down?
Writing your goals down give you direction; they work as
your compass.
The act of writing the goal down provides you with
something tangible, so you can measure your goals,
whether that be to see success or failure.
By writing your goals down they provide us with
knowledge of what we truly want and desire. This allows us
to separate what it is that we think we want from what we
really want.

33. More about writing goals
 The act of writing our goals or intentions down allows for us
to connect with our subconscious. This is what enables us
to achieve our true desires.
You are forced to look at your accomplishments or failures
in black and white.
By writing your goals or intentions down you are provided
with a visual reminder.
