Dream, Compose, and Speak your desires into Existence

Recently, I read an article about the importance of goal setting. It was an interesting article with useful tips that anyone could utilize to develop personal life goals. The article stated that “following the steps below you would become an expert in building the road map to achieving your goals.”

1. Make sure the goal you are working for is something you really want, not just something that sounds good
2. A goal can not contradict any of your other goals
3. Develop goals in the 6 areas of life
4. Write your goal in the positive instead of the negative
5. Write your goal out in complete details
6. Make sure your goal is high enough
7. Write down your goals

The 7 steps are very straight forward, and make it easy for anyone to create a plan for themselves. At the end of the article the author states that you “should not freely share your goals with others. In fear of receiving negative attitudes and feedback from friends, family, and neighbors that could drag you down.” Granted some people will not agree with your goals or will not believe you are capable of achieving them. However, conflicting ideas and perceptions should not stop you from sharing what you are up to in life.

Writing down your goals is very powerful, but if you do not share your goals with the important people in your life, who will be there to support you in achieving those goals?

I believe it is important to share your goals with people who truly love and support all your endeavors. The people who are enrolled in your goals will help you achieve them. Who knows what will happen when you share your goals. You may inspire someone else to set some goals for him or herself too. So, bravely create your road map to fulfill your goals, share your goals freely, withstand the resistance, and allow those who truly care support you.
