Psalm 32:8
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
To know where you are going, you have to first know where you are. In the field, when you are lost, there is a method to finding where you are. The method is called “triangulation”. You are essentially trying to make a triangle on the map, with your location being one point, and two other landmarks serving as the other two points of the triangle.
How can you identify your long-term goals? On a sheet of paper or in a notebook, write these five questions:
Any goal is a powerful motivator only if there’s a powerful reason behind it. Why do you want to achieve your goals? Why do you want to own a handmade furniture store, or a private airplane, or a newspaper in a small town in Vermont? Why do you want to compete in a triathlon, or visit the Australian outback, or be the first woman in your family to earn a Ph.D.?
Write down your reasons for wanting each goal in the same degree of detail that you used to write your descriptions. If you can’t find a clear and convincing reason for each of your 16 goals, do some serious re-evaluating. You might have more whims or pipe dreams than real goals, and now is the right time to make that discovery.
Keep working on your list until you have 16 clearly envisioned, strongly motivating long-term goals. At regular intervals, review what you’ve written, and keep careful track of your progress toward these objectives.
Above all, persevere! Goal setting is a very important first step, but goal achievement is a continuous, lifelong process. That’s what makes it so challenging. That’s also why it’s so extremely rewarding to finally attain your long-term goals.
