Daily goal writing is a powerful habit that transforms dreams into actionable plans. It provides clarity and direction, helping you prioritize and stay focused on what’s important. By setting specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals, you can track your progress and overcome obstacles effectively. Incorporating this practice into your routine can significantly enhance your personal and professional growth.
The Habit of Goal Setting & Daily Goal Writing “A goal is a dream with a deadline.”
—Oliver Napoleon Hill (American self-help author, famous for his book “Think and Grow Rich (1937)” We often hear people say they have goals in life. Well, what are these goals and why must we set goals?? I wasn’t aware of ‘setting goals’, although I always knew I had to do well in life, but how do I achieve what I want?! I remember one such incident, back in the college days, one of our professors said something about goals and he asked us students to set their ‘goals’ in life. I always thought this concept of ‘setting goals’ was meant only for the rich. I soon realized I was wrong; we all must cultivate the habit of setting our goals in life.
“A GOAL IS THE ONGOING PURSUIT OF A WORTHY OBJECTIVE UNTIL ACCOMPLISHED.”
– you can find this quote in Jack Canfield’s book – The Power of Focus.
If you try and understand the meaning of this quote you will know; a ‘goal’ is basically an on-going process to chase or to pursue something; may involve obstacles which you will have to face and overcome; that is worthy of all the pain and hardship you endured, until you finally accomplish, do everything in you might to achieve your ‘goal ‘. Not everything comes easy, but if you have the will
to set and achieve your goals, nothing can stop you. Your goals are like a GPS system which guides you wherever you want to go. Without goals, a person is actually directionless.
The seven key spokes I have learnt from my mentor:
- Health Goals
- Wealth Goals
- Family Goals
- Spiritual Goals
- Career Goals
- Personal Goals
- Relationship Goals
We all are aware of the expression ‘Health is wealth’; it tops my list of priorities. Mental and physical health both are of prime importance. We live in a faced-paced life, thus ignoring our health unless it becomes a major concern for us. We can still take some time out of our busy schedules and look after ourselves, fitness is as important as any other aspect for a better life. It is pointless to ignore
health goals and run after goals. If one is healthy, one can achieve all that one wants.
When you are all set to write your goals, remember your goals should be ‘SMART’; here is how this works:
The driving force to take action is to write your goals daily and set the tone for the entire day.
A Goal must be your ‘SMART’ Strategy
- Your Goal must be Specific.
- Your Goal must be Measurable.
- Your Goal must be Achievable.
- Your Goal must be Realistic.
- Your Goal must consider the Time.
How to Write Goals:
Begin with writing short term goals and manifest them through your designed affirmations. This practice will lead you to write bigger goals and you will know how to achieve them. You can also set the dates you want to reach your goals in time or on time. You can also practice the ‘Huna Philosophy’, basically known as the Hawaiian Spiritualism, which says “Bless that which you want”. It means you must bless your goals, bless all that you want. By practising this mechanism, you can see them turn into reality. Make it your habit. Writing down daily goals means directing your thoughts to your mind and daily declaring that this is one of the most crucial elements of your life. No goals, no growth. No clarity, no change. List down your goals in life.- Inspired Action
- Spare five minutes every day to write goals. If you intend to build a bright future for yourself and your loved ones, set an intent to write your goals every single day in your journal.
