How to Set Goals.

The way to begin this process is to first think of your biggest goals, your lifetime goals. So the first step is to think over what you'd like to accomplish in your life.

Examining your biggest goals first is important as you can then break it down into smaller tasks and further into a daily to-do list.

Everyone has different important aspects of their lives so try to set goals in some or as many of the following areas as possible. Below are some questions and areas of life to think about.

Family

Do you want to keep in touch with more family members?
Do you wish to have children?
Do you need to move your family to a new city?

Financial

Do you need to increase your income?
How much do you aim to earn in a year from now or 5 years from now?
What do you need to accomplish in order to achieve your income in the future?

Health & Wellbeing

Do you want be healthier?
What are you able to do to gain fitness?
Do you wish to take up a sport?
How can you improve on your favorite sports?
Do you need to quit smoking or alcohol?
What do you need to do to realistically quit this?
Do you need to lose weight?
What area you going to do to lose weight?
What's the best diet to choose from?

Education

Have you always wanted to study any particular subject?
Do you want to learn a new language?
When do you want to achieve this knowledge and how?
Do you want to go into teaching?
What subjects are you able to teach and when do you plan to begin?

Career

Are you pursuing a promotion?
Have you realized what career level you are able to achieve?
How are you going to get a promotion?
Do you want to change careers?
What do you need to achieve in order to change careers?

Artistic

What artistic goals have you thought of achieving?
Are you a writer, do you want to write a book?
In what format could you publish your book?
Are you a singer? Can you write songs and improve your voice?
What do you need to do to do to achieve this?
Are you artistic? Can you paint? Do you want to improve your painting skills?

Happiness

What do you do for enjoyment?
What truly makes you happy?
What are you able to do for more happiness?

I have left 'Life Purpose & Service' until last as I feel it's the most important.
What are you doing to make the world a better place?
Do you want to provide real value to the world?
How are you going to achieve this?
What contribution do you want to make to mankind?

If you have more than one goal, it's more effective to prioritize them for a greater chance of success. Double check everything and make sure you are happy with your decisions and goals, as it's planning towards the future that you are wishing for.

Please also make sure that these decisions are purely yours from within and are not influenced by any family, friends or peers.
