Make
Aim In Life
Aim
or setting goal is important for every person because without
aim man is directionless. Aim in life gives meaning to life.Person
is incomplete without a aim in life. It is very important
that a aim is formulated and efforts are put in to achieve
that aim. The following question should stimulate your thinking:
Where will you be and what will you be doing ten years from
today if you keep doing what you are doing now? You have to
be bold enough to ask of life more than you may, right now,
feel you are worth because it is an observable fact that people
tend to rise to meet demands that are put upon them.
Step 1 -
Set your goals short term and long term and then time required
for its achievement
Step
2 - Determine
how you spend your time for this you have to follow schedule.
The schedule can be weekly, forthnightly, monthly or yearly.
For
Setting your Goals
There
are four important things to keep in mind.
(a)
Write down your goal. You will then begin to crystallize
your thinking. The very act of thinking as you write will
have a tendency to create an indelible impression in your
memory.
(b)
Give yourself a deadline. Specify a time for achieving
your objective. This is important in motivating you: set out
in the direction of your goal and keep moving towards it.
(c)
Set your standards high. Now there seems to be a direct
relationship between ease in achieving a goal and the strength
of your motives. And the higher you set your major goal, generally
speaking, the more concentrated will be the effort you make
to achieve it. The reason: logic will make it mandatory that
you at least aim at an intermediate objective as well as an
immediate one. So aim higher. And then have immediate and
intermediate steps leading towards its achievement. The following
question should stimulate your thinking: where will you be
and what will you be doing ten years from today if you keep
doing what you are doing now?
(d)
Aim high. It is a peculiar thing that no more effort is
required to aim high in life, to demand prosperity and abundance,
than is required to accept misery and poverty.
