Goal Setting - Fresh Ideas


Goal Setting - a fresh idea
Goals!

A new idea!


Overview

Goal setting disturbs me. I have found that, not only in myself, if one is not able to reach a set goal regardless of reason the actual result is a feeling of failure. This is factually correct as well; a person makes a goal to swim the English Channel, they suffer frostbite and need medical attention ¾ way across, they failed and therefore are a loser. That is the fact, in reality this person achieved something not many could. They might even be proud of the effort, but that doesn’t change the feelings of failure.


Having studied goal setting formally on many occasions and participated in the concept, I have surmised that the result of such activity creates a daily routine that has the intent of producing the desired achievement. With this knowledge in hand I propose that an effective way of achieving ‘goals’ is to analyse what is required to achieve those ‘goals’ and amalgamate that requirement into daily actions. An argument may be; if a person doesn’t have a destination they will never arrive there. My response is this; if I build the road and travel along its path I will arrive at its end as a matter of course.


To summarise; planning is the key. Setting a destination is restrictive and potentially mentally harmful. Regardless of why a goal is not met is irrelevant when considering that a failure has occurred. Unfortunately I do not possess any formal training to make this analysis a part of modern teachings but would appreciate your entertainment of this, a new concept of self improvement through affirmative and constant action rather then creating a destination of achievement.
