Goals:Footprints of A Fabulous life

Do you remember when you were growing up and you had dreams lots of dreams of who you wanted to become? And Each year those dreams will change. If you are like me, you surely dreamt about being close to five or more different things before finally becoming who you are.

There was a time I actually wanted to be an astronaut because I learnt of neil armstrong and his exploits... The next year I wanted to be a cartoonist, i was so convinced that that's what i wanted to be and the dreams kept changing. 

The issue with dreams is that they will only remain dreams until you make them into goals, put them on paper,   have a plan to accomplish it and give it a time limit. If you don't make your dreams and desires into goals, they'll never be accomplished. They'll remain dreams and fade into oblivion until you get another dream.

Goals are the flesh to the skeleton of your desires, they're what make them attainable.

If you aim at nothing, rest assured, you'll never miss. you'll hit nothing.

when i was in high school, I used to tell my classmates that I aim at an A grade because if I aim at that I could either get an A or in the least, a B grade. But If just wanted to pass whether with an E grade or anything, chances are I would fail.

Be sure that your goals are meaningful and worthwhile.. The worst thing is to chase a meaningless goal. 

Don't be like the dog who barked and tried to overtake a car each time one passed by... That could be a goal. But what would that dog do if it ever caught a car? Most of us are like that we set meaningless goals and as such, never get to live out our fabulous lives.

Your goals should follow this acronym: S.M.A.R.T

• Specific: Be specific in what you want. For example, you may want to be a cook or a chef... Now that is a clear goal
• Measurable: Measurement is a way of monitoring your progress. if you can't Measure it, then you can't attain it.
• Attainable or achievable: this means your goal should not be out of reach, it may be challenging but shouldn't be out of your reach else you become discouraged.
• Relevant and Realistic: If you want to become a millionaire in Two weeks, then you're being unrealistic.
• Time-bound: You should have a starting date and a finishing date to your goal. That way you can check yourself. 

                                   Whatever it is you want to do today, set a goal and be sure to follow it. A goal is the first step to leading a Fabulous life..

                        Happy New Month and New Week..
