Personal Goals from 09-12

From July 2008 until march 2009 i lived out side of the U.S in the British Virgin islands where i grew up. I was having a very tough time adjusting to living back there because i was not satisfied with  myself and what i had accomplished up to this point in my life. I took a little break from the military and i soon realized this was  not as good of an idea as it seemed at that time. However during this period i learned a lot about myself and i got to a point where i was so miserable that i told myself im going to do something about. In January of 2009  i reapplied to go back to the army got accepted and left in March.Now what happened next was amazing. I told myself i would accomplish 3 things on this  3 year contract with the military and this would be a huge stepping  stone for me.I wrote this goals down and put a dead line on them and with in 18 months 2 of my 3 goals where accomplished and the 3rd is still in progress.(if you’d like to know what those goals where Comment below and ill share them with you ).

I shared that with you because it’s important to have vision when setting goals and have a definite understanding of what it is you want to accomplish so that your goals can be in stone and clear to you and your accountable partner

Put Your Goals & Dreams In Concrete and Your Plans In Sand!

Once your desired out comes are fixed firmly in your mind, they will assist you in reaching your goals and when you begin to accomplish your goals your dreams are sure to follow.With out goals you have no direction. Dorothy, in the wizard of Oz, took only one yellow brick road.When you have ten yellow brick roads, when you are straddling two different paths, you dont accomplish much

If you dont stay on track, if you dont have a one track mind, so to speak, it’s very difficult to get where you want to go.You need to be focused to achieve the results you want.Hopefully , you have an unwaivaering vision of where you want to go or what you want to  become.Along the way ,however, you may need to change the plans ou created to accomplish any goals  you have set.Keep your focus on the out comes you want.Be sure they complement your definition of success and accomplishment of your goals.You may surprise yourself and achieve outcomes beyond your wildest dreams.Goals are the most tangible of all the steps along the staircase to success.Every level you rise to you must set new goals in order to keep your vision moving forward.

To be an effective leader,it’s essential to elevate your attitude and enthusiasm.If you have the goals of confronting a problem no matter who or what self control is necessary.If your goals are to get over what happened a year ago or just last week you need to totally forgive. If your goals are to see your income at a particular level with in a specific period of time you much have focus.When the time comes and you have achieved your goals and have realized what ever you define success to be, you are successful.Hopefully, you also become fulfilled long the way and accomplish your goals, your personal,family and professional goals all require your time and energy.In closing if each success of acomplishing your goals supports your purpose, you are more likely to be fulfilled.
