Setting a goal..
Childhood is fun and shapes us to
dream. Dream with intense wish became goal.
So, what is a goal? a goal is an idea of the future or desired result
that a person plan and commit to
achieve. It is not just about a person
but about group of people more precisely the team. Our goal is to pave the path to success by
assisting in every step. Initiating on
the first step, we would like to express views on setting a goal.
How a person does decide and
defines his/her goal?
In majority of cases, a child
sets goal by inspired from close family friends.. their profession and way of
living. Inspiration or influence of others act on children and they start
imagining how they want to look themselves after 20 years. At small age they
may not know exact words, but the feeling is real. One who mold themselves
according to requirements of goal succeed while few still face difficulty in
reaching goal due to various factors in spite of hard work. The question arises
here is INTEREST, weather interested or not.
So, what is interest?
Interest is state or feeling that
accompanies special attention to something and wanting to know about or take
part in something. We either choose our goal based on our interest or set goal
and develop interest on it. From ages we have opinion on interest as our
interest helps in giving our best towards something. But the actual fact is the
thing which we know best makes us more interested. Reread the sentence twice to
digest the fact. Let me make you clear,
if someone says she is interested in math, it means she knew solving math and
hence it is interesting to her as solving math make her happy and that
happiness creates interest. In the same way if someone says he is interested in
art, it means he knew creating an art and hence it is interesting to him. And this
interest drives them to show special attention to seek more knowledge on math
or art which makes them successful. So,
let’s see it in different perspective. As we know something, we develop
interest on it and hence if we learn something, interest develops automatically.
Both lead to reach our goal, interest and learning which are interrelated.
As our ability plays a key role,
develop interest in what you want or go ahead in what you are interested in.
With learning, at specific point of time both seem the same.
How do you learn?
Learning is the acquisition of
knowledge or skills through study, experience or being taught. Every child undergoes process of learning
from schools, surroundings and even persons they met. Ensure this learning
leads to goal which has interest and determination as hidden yet essential
driving force. Know the information
revolving around you goal, the
stream to select, the subject to learn, opportunities and resources you
had. After knowing information, establish yourself to acquire knowledge
or skills.
How do determination works?
Determination is a positive
emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite
of obstacles. It is what motivates you till attaining goal. It is the second
force followed by interest to drag us in the path. Journey to reach goal is not always straight
but it do have ups and downs, flowers and thorns. Determination caters energy
to drive. Maintaining positive attitude while waiting to perceive goal is
patience. Patience provides joy while driving.
Path to success..
Attaining goal is success and it
takes half of our life to succeed. And then it is not just an ending. So, being
successful in each single step has to be cherished to make not only reaching
goal is success but journey itself is success. Set a long term goal, break it
into few short term goals to be attained in journey and set mini goals to
accomplish in shorter time period. Achieving a mini goal is a step in your
success. Celebrate the success and plan to succeed next which maintain positive
surge to pursue goal. In this process failure is inevitable. Learn from
mistakes, strengthen your weak spots, reborn with new energy to reach your
goal.
Goal is what that push as well as pull us to
succeed. The most important thing is
whether your goal pushes you or pulls you towards it. There is difference in
pulling and pushing. Pushing is harder on you making you restless, exhausted
while pulling is easier on you making you more devotional towards goal. Align
your thoughts in positive manner to be
pulled towards your goal. Avoid negative thoughts that push you hard towards
goal as journey itself is a bliss.
