"How to Turn an Ordinary Life into an Extraordinary Life"

Have you got a Life Plan?

If not, you are probably experiencing varying degrees of boredom, stress, tiredness, de-motivation and unhappiness. This comes about because you are not in control of your life. You are reacting to things that are happening around you. You are a victim of circumstances.

It’s a fact that Goal Setting has been used to steer those successful in the right direction, keeping them focused, giving them vision and motivation to become fulfilled and have a good life.

Life is about living. In our lives, what we hope to achieve can be realised much more easily if we know what we want. Working towards achieving something is what goal setting is all about.

Setting goals helps you to pin point what you want to achieve and then to allocate resources to help you achieve it. Only if we know what we want can we proceed to get it.

Being exact, precise and specific in setting goals allows us to be able to measure our success and then reward ourselves for it. Being precise also helps us to have a clearer vision and focus on the final product.

Success comes with knowing what you want, defining it and then going after it. This in its simplest form is goal setting.

 

8 Reasons Why You
Should Set Goals

 

1. SUCCESS comes from having goals.
   
   
2. Goals REDUCE STRESS.
   One way to improve your mental health is to review your life goals and make realistic plans.



3. The main cause of LONG LIFE is having a life purpose.
   Research has shown that diet and exercise are not the major factors in long life - having a life purpose is.
   
   
4. HAPPINESS requires goals.
   Every time you achieve something positive you experience happiness - e.g. getting well after being sick, getting a job after losing one etc.
   
   
5. Goals give you ENERGY (motivation).
   Simply because there is either a benefit or penalty from achieving the goal.
   
   
6. Goals make you UNIQUE.
   We are all different and hence all have different aspirations.
   
   
7. Goal setting is FUN.
   Why not design your own life, why wait for someone else to do it for you.
   
   
8. Goals give your LIFE MEANING.
   Why are you here on earth? What’s your mission in life? Make you less likely to succumb to peer pressure and become a victim of circumstances.

   Basically we set goals when we want to achieve something we value or that is important to us.

   
   

   10 Reasons Why People Don’t Achieve Their Goals

    

   
   

   1. Fear of failure. Some have set goals in the past and for one reason or another have failed to achieve them. Hence, they fear setting further goals.
      
      
   2. Don’t know how to go about achieving the goal. Not capable of defining what needs to be done and what resources are required.
      
      
   3. Don’t know why they should achieve the goal in the first place. It is very important to know why you want to achieve the goal because it is this that gives you the motivation and energy to reach the goal. Without it is like trying to drive a car without fuel. You need to define the benefits in achieving the goal. What is in it for you?
      
      
   4. Are overwhelmed by the goal itself. How do you eat an elephant? The answer is piece by piece. That is, break the goal down into a number of tasks and then work on achieving each task and eventually you will achieve the goal.
      
      
   5. Are in a comfort zone and have fear of the unknown. Without doing your homework you are unlikely to know what to expect along your journey to your goal.
      
      
   6. Indecision. Don’t know what you want. Can’t decide at a crossroad which way to go.
      
      
   7. Worried about what others might think. You feel insecure. Others might consider you an outcast.
      
      
   8. Insufficient Resources. Don’t have enough time, money, energy or skills.
      
      
   9. Goals are unrealistic.
      
      
   10. Goals are not your own. It’s what someone else wants for you. Some parents are known to pressure their children to follow their dream and discount the child’s dream as being silly.

    

   The Life Planning Handbook

   The Life Planning Handbook has been designed to help anyone from young adults to those involved in "mid life crisis" to define their purpose in life. It can also serve as a tool to help parents get involved with their children in deciding their future. The book is a tool to help the user closely assess where they are in life and if they’re heading in the right direction.

   The Handbook is particularly useful to young adults helping them to decide what is right for them as opposed to the education system or their parents deciding this for them.
   
   
   Through using the book as a tool to define personal goals, young adults benefit by improving self-esteem and building motivation to achieve they goals. The book serves to also document how these goals will be achieved by prompting the user to think about the "how" of what they hope to achieve.

   The "Life Planning Handbook" is your plan to achieve. The book consists of three chapters:

   1. Self-Discovery – helping the user to take a closer took at themselves, analysing strengths and weaknesses, beliefs and values.
   2. Goal Setting – helping the user to define goals based on what they want to achieve from life.
   3. Achieving Your Goals – helping the user to determine a plan to achieve what they want from life.

   The Handbook helps the user to determine where they are and where they want to be on a financial, mental, physical, social and spiritual level. It helps the user to define goals using specific guidelines that must be followed if goal setting is to be successful. Once goals are set, the Handbook allows the user to formulate a plan to closely monitor tasks required to achieve the goals and monitor progress on the way to achieving the goal.

   Did You Know?

   Yale University revealed that only 3% of university students wrote life goals. As a consequence 20 years later it was found that the same 3% were most successful and happiest. Why? Simply because Great Lives don’t just happen, they are designed that way – our future can be controlled.

   Let’s face it if you don’t Set Goals Now, where will you be in 12 months time? Will you be richer, wiser, happier, and more successful … or will you just be another year older?
