WHAT IS A GOAL?
DiscussionActivity: Shrinking Circle
Discuss outcome of the Shrinking Circle
1. What happened when the circle got smaller and harder to fit?
2. How does this relate to our lives?
3. What are some things that prevent us from reaching our goals?
LONG VS. SHORT GOALS
A short term goal is achieved quickly (finish term paper, wash dishes, mail Christmas cards by Friday, etc.). They help you achieve your long term goals
Long term goals will take months, years, all your life.For example: graduate from college, become a pilot, lose __X_ pounds, etc.
Short Long
DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE?
We need to learn how to dream. Keep the dream alive, reach your goals Some people don’t decide or have a
vision of what they want out of life. NO GOALS!!!
People with goals can see what they eventually want to achieve and they can see just how to get there.
THINGS TO REMEMBER Goals must be realistic –
you can’t lose 40 pounds in one month
Must prioritize – rank in order of importance you, can’t accomplish it all at once.
Do you have the resources you need to reach your goals (money, information, health, energy, skill, etc.).
Write a long list of the goals you think would be important and worthwhile for you to accomplish. (a dream list)
Does it fit your values?Is it realistic?Is it flexible?Does it fit in with your other
goals?Will the rewards be worth what
you put in to it?Is it what you want?
BELIEF ON YOURSELF
Activity “The I can’t funeral”
write down on a piece a paper everything you can’t do.
Next write a list of ‘I CAN’. Keep this in your note book/journal.
“SUCCESS IS IN THE BAG”.
You need purse-severanceIt requires the same amount of
energy to be successful as it does to be unsuccessful.
99% of your assets are standing in your shoes.
80% of success is showing up
IF YOU ARE NOT WORKING TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY WORKING TO WHERE YOU DON’T WANT TO BE.
KEEP YOUR MOST IMPORTANT VALUES IN MIND AT ALL TIMES WHEN YOU ARE MAKING LESS IMPORTANT DECISIONS
DON’T SACRIFICE WHAT MATTERS MOST FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T MATTER THAT MUCH TO YOU. THERE ARE ALWAYS TRADE-OFFS
BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT
You will have challenges You will have roadblocksYou can have excuses or success but not both
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE
Ones that make things happen Those that let it happen And the ones that don’t know what
happened.
What one are you going to be?
THERE IS VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDIOCRE AND GREATNESS.
The boiling point is only 1 degree different than very warm water. The difference is tremendous.
Steam can power many things. The difference between a race horse
that wins first place and a second place is often fractions of a second.
