A female friend just asked me question. She said; how do I make money? I giggled and told her. Work ! She smiled and told me, I feel I will be poor in future. At this point, I became convinced that she really wants to work and make money. This friend of mine has the world stirring right at her at this moment. She is feeling the pressures of life and wants to break free at this early stage.
A life well live can only be measured by goals and targets set and achieved. Without evaluation, one can never see and feel the extent of progress. This is basically why I set goals and targets.
A goal from wikipedia is an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envisions, plans and commits to achieve. It is simply what someone wants to accomplish at the end of all his or her life. I personally see a goal as an imaginative concept of what you truly feel you want to become, achieve and be fulfilled. I see it as an imaginative concept simply because, a goal must be something that you are far from attaining in your life and you will need to work deligently to achieve. Your growth is dependent on how big your goal is. Einstein once said; Imagination is more important than knowledge. He who is able to creatively imagine his way through success will definitely find a way to it. And a world without creative imagination and dreams is a world of now new innovation and it will definitely die of. So my advice to you this evening is to be creatively imaginative and set a goal not too far from your reach but marginally difficult to achieve and work towards it. You can never achieve what you cant conceive in your mind.
With a proper goal being set, one tool that can essentially guide one through to his/her goal is targets. Targets are easy small achievable goals. Targets are different from goals in the sense that, accomplishment of a target leads one closer to his/her goal. Setting proper targets is a key to one achieving his/her goals and we all ought to know how to. I find it difficult most at times to begin something whether it be an event planning / organisation, going to lectures or an ordinary active. I judge it to be cumbersome and weigh it most at times as such and never get to start it. Goals can most often feel the same and we need targets to complete them. The relationship between a goal and a target is analogous to the task of counting each sing broom stick in a broom that has been assembled. It often seems impossible until you untie the broom and start counting it little by little. Each target in a goal is similar to a broom stick. Easy to achieve but when left alone to accumulate, the task becomes more strenuous
With this at the back of my head, i live my life by breaking each task i want to accomplish into smaller divisions. This principle is popular called, divide and conquer principle. We all have the maximum achievement we could ever make in our lifetime. The earlier we acknowledge this and work towards it, the easier it becomes. My friend has identified how she wants to live and basically doesn't want to live a life full of poverty and as such will be working towards that. Lets all do the same. Be inspired and work towards your goals. Till next time
