Setting Powerful Goals


You are never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream. 

C.S. Lewis

Why set goals?
  • You take control of your life
  • You gain focus on the most important things in your life
  • Leads to making good decisions in the direction you want to go
  • It helps you to accomplish your dreams more efficiently
  • It leads to self-confidence and enthusiasm for life
  • You become closer to success—in little things as well as big things


The most important benefit of setting goals isn’t achieving your goal; it’s what you do and the person you become in order to achieve your goal that’s the real benefit. 

Jim Rohn




Reflect and Evaluate
This step will help you to see where you’ve come from and where your focus has been. 

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going
Earl Nightingale

Alice and Wonderland Video Section: 1:15-1:32

"Let us not find ourselves as indecisive as is Alice in Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. You will remember that she comes to a crossroads with two paths before her, each stretching onward but in opposite directions. She is confronted by the Cheshire cat, of whom Alice asks, “Which path shall I follow?”….
The cat answers, “That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn’t matter which path you take.”…it does matter which way we go, for by choosing our path, we choose our destination." Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, The Three Rs of Choice, November 2010

Define your dreams and goals
This is a time for being non judgement---it’s a time to say why not? Don’t put any restrictions on what you write. Allow your mind to take you where you really want to go




 Prioritize
 This one is very introspective

Without a clear focus on our guiding values and priorities, each of us runs a real risk of successfully climbing a very long ladder only to find it leaning against the wrong wall. Stephen R Covey


Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right 
Henry Ford

Make your goals S.M.A.R.T. ---




Time: sometimes certain goals will need to be broken down into smaller ones—this is the time to discover which ones need to be
Flexible too
Accountability
Tell at least 2 people or more so they can ask you how your goal is coming---this is why Weight Watchers are so successful it’s because when you become a member you get weighed by someone at the meeting and at every meeting you go to you get weighed---you’re being accountable to someone every week
Believe in yourself and your goals
