4 Tips for Setting Powerful Goals
Goal setting gives focus
Life is designed in such a way that we look long-term and live short-term. We dream for the future and live in the present.
Setting goals provides long-term vision in our lives.
Practical goal setting
- Evaluate and reflect. Regularly write down where you are right now, and if you are happy with your current level of satisfaction.
- Define your dreams and goals. What do you want? Schedule some quiet “dream time” and think about what really thrills you. Then prioritise those dreams.
