Think about Goals for your life !!
There’s never a good time to sit down and think about what you want to accomplish in life. We have busy lives, and even when we’re not busy, we might just feel more like vegging in front of the TV or checking our feeds than thinking about the rest of our lives.
Do it today, if you haven’t yet. It could take as little as 10 or 20 minutes, and it could make all the difference in the world.
And it’s not that hard. You probably already have a good idea of what you want to do, but you may not have it written down. Or maybe you’ve done this exercise before, but you haven’t updated your goals for awhile. Now’s the time to do it.
1. How to start? First, think about what you’d like people to say about you at your funeral. This comes from Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People — the habit called “Begin with the end in mind.” It’s also very effective. Imagine you are at the end of your life, looking back. What would you like to have accomplished? What kind of person would you like to have been?
Now here’s the key: start living your life so that you will eventually get to that point.
2. Now that you’ve given that a little thought, jot down some ideas for life goals you’d like to achieve before you die.
They can be in many areas, but here are a few to start with: professional, education, family, spiritual, travel, recreation, hobbies, community, charity. You can probably think of more, and you don’t need to have goals in all of these areas. Just some topics to get you started.
3. Refine your list, or expand it. After your initial brainstorm, you may want to trim it down. But you may also want to expand: sometimes it’s fun, and worthwhile, to dream big.
4. Now break it down. What should you accomplish in the next 10 years for each of these goals? How about 5 years? How about two years? One year? And this month?
Once you’ve planned out each goal for 10-year, 5-year, 2-year, 1-year and 1-month periods, you’ve got yourself a pretty solid plan.
5. Take action! I like to take my monthly goals, and make a to-do list for this week. What can I do today to further my goals? And if I can get just one thing done, I’ve done a lot to make those dreams a reality!
Take a step towards your dreams today by writing them down, and making a plan.

We always must have achievable goals in our lives so that our walk through life will have directions. Thanks for your post. God bless.

What terrific advice! all the best! you have a great blog!
Goals help us to focus on what we need to do.. rather than digress. its a good post..
Great Blog
I totally agree with you
The first step in achieving our goals is actually deciding exactly what they are. Then you need to ask and achieve them.

This is a great blog! I’m so glad I found it. There is no power like that of positive thinking.
Great concept to blog on. Goals…very good post about goals. I found the most important thing for me was that one needs to move beyond the point of re-working your goals to the point where the hard work of moving towards the goal becomes the enjoyable part of it.
Jump onto the unpleasant tasks. And actually make progress towards achieving your goals.
Anyway, nice blog, nice post.

No 1 says it all. Got me thinking too.. what do I want my family and friends say about me when I died and they come to my funeral… definitely the things that I want to be!
Nice! Inspiring!

Someone once asked in a cell group why do we care what others would say about us at our funeral since we are already dead!
Good question. But I guess the answer is equally simple. For those who believe in Christ, what we do in this Life does affect how we gonna spend eternity.
Hope I am not sounding too preachy

I like the way you break down goal development into bite sized chunks.
Develop long term goals and then break them down into short term achievable goals that are more realistic.
Really cool. thanks.
