Setting Your Lifetime Goals – The World is Your Oyster
May 31, 2010Goal-setting is critical to your mindset because it gives you the direction of your life. Goals are never set in stone they will morph throughout your life as new information is learned. The beauty of goal-setting is that it forces you to take a moment to think about your life and it helps you to define what success means to you.
1) Start at the End by Setting Your Lifetime Achievements
The toughest part about long-term goal-setting is trying to ignore your current status. For now, don’t worry about where you are today and how far off your goals may seem. This may sound morbid, but imagine yourself as a much older person looking back at your life. Answer the question, what did you achieve?
2) Define Success in Your Life
Aside from setting goals, you need to define what success means to you. Every person has a different meaning so this is truly something that will be unique to you. For inspiration and ideas, check out this YouTube video by theresident.net – (click here to view the video)
The reason your lifetime achievements are so important to your definition of success is because success typically involves the pursuit of your lifetime achievement goals. It also means that you can choose to be successful everyday of your life because success is not a destination.
