LESSON 1 – “GOALS”
Text: Goal
A goal is something you want or you aim for, with a deadline. The things you
want that have no deadlines are just wishes.A goal can be anything you want for yourself in whatever aspect whether it be
personal, professional, social, spiritual or familial.
It can be concrete or abstract. May be your goal is to be rich or may be it’s just
to improve a relationship, but in either case it’s important to establish a deadline to
accomplish your goal.
Goals are classified as short range, evolving or taking into account a short period
of time, or long range, involving or taking into account a long period of time.
No matter if you are a teenager or an adult you will deal with goals very
frequently. In everyday actions we do or organize things in order to accomplish our
goals.
Very early in life, people have to learn how to get things they want or need. Inorder to achieve these things there are techniques people can use.
The sooner you learn how to organize yourself the better. When the mind is
organized, situations can be pictured easily, this helps people succeed in dealing
with or controlling these situations.
