8 steps to achieving your goals.........

It is not what you are, but your attitude towards life that matters where you are going to, but do remember that you will never get anywhere unless you know where you are.


Hey guys how was the weekend ..... I really do hope that it was wonderful. Today I'll be sharing with you 8 steps of achieving your goals.. soo if you're having challenges with goal setting please keep on reading... or just go to the main page and click another post.


Alright .....The 8 steps to goal setting

1.  Determine where you are and decide what you want to achieve.

This doesnt talk about your location, it talks about telling yourself the truth about your life. It simply means acknowledging the fact that you cant afford to do some certain kind of things because you are lacking in an area in your life. It simply means even when you have everything you're yearning for more because of a personal reason. It simply means avoiding self deceit. Then after deciding and accepting I say 'accepting' because some people still think they were adopted... lol .... it now comes to where you think of what you would like to achieve, that is where God comes in ... go to God and ask him for a divine direction for your life.

Proverb 16:25
                          There is a path before each person that seems right,
                          but it ends in death.



2.  Be Specific and Realistic

I love this one because it enables me request to my deepest desire.... Let me tell you a short story....there was a fire outburst in a house and the housegirl picked up the phone and dialed...911, luckily for her someone picked and she started screaming into the phone FIRE!! FIRE!! FIRE!! PLEASE COME AND HELP! and then she dropped the phone. After a while nobody showed up and she picked the phone and dailed again and repeated the same message. Guess what? hehe the house burnt down! and then the owners got angry and sued the policeman that answered the call to court...during the case the man said ' yes! she called yes! I answered but she failed to describe where the house was so we couldn't help. Does that explain how specific you have to be with your goals? I guess so.... quit saying i want to gain admission ... say i want to gain admission into this school to study that course and to finish in the year.... you write it down.
Being realistic.... my brother you know your 1 month salary is five thousand naira and you took pen and paper and started writing GOAL 1- I want to earn 1 million by the end of the year... hehe.. i pity you God is not a magician oooo. So be realistic in writing your goals.

Mathew 7:7-10

⁷ “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

⁹ “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? ¹⁰ Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!

3. You must set a Deadline for your goals

I do not know about you but as for me whenever i am given an assignment and i have a dead line, and i also know that those people are counting on me to make that assignment work... I make sure with the help of God cause sometimes its tedious that I perform.  In this case you being is depending on you.. do not fail yourself. You yes! am talking to you that is reading this article you think you're soo young and you have time to be wasting...my friend you dont, there is no time to waste so arise and shine. IF YOU FAIL TO SET A DEADLINE FOR THAT GOAL? THAT PLAN IT WILL REMAIN SO TILL KINGDOM COMES

Psalm 90:12

                     ¹² So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

4. Write your GOALS down

This is probably the easiest out of them all... write it down ... your brain isn't a computer even the smartest of the smartest have a need to write some things down. It is good to also write down so you remind your self that you've been set by some kinda rule. Even God said 

Isaiah 30:8 

       ⁸ The Lord told me to write down his message for his people, so that it would be there forever.

  

        

5. Make a plan of action

You've got a goal.. how do you intend to execute it..Success isnt a one man business look for people around you that are in your area of interest ask questions... remember assupmtions is the lowest for of knowledge.. Do research on your interest what you're planning to study? how long will it take? who is the best in that area? which school is the best for that area? what can I do with this interest of mine? and the list goes on...

6. Execute your plan  

This is a bold step.. do not hold back! Look for God's promises concerning your goals, ask God for help and keep asking, identify all the barriers you may face, you must be ready to pay the full price for whatever you want to achieve... reduce time wasting distractions, if you do not pay the price you will not get there, ask God to send helpers your way... here is one of God's promises 

Hebrews 4:16

            ¹⁶ So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help.

7. Review your goals regularly

That is why you wrote them in the first place to come back and meditate and envision and remind yourself.

8 Always remain FOCUSED, NEVER GIVE UP AND BE PATIENT.....these are the fruits of the spirit .. you need them 

Galatians 5:22-23 

²² God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, ²³ gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.
