Goal Setting

1. Goal Setting „You can want to do the right thing, and you can even want to do it for the right reasons. But if you don’t apply the right principles, you can still hit a wall.“

3. Is your Setting Goals causing you problems? You can tell when... • Your future is hazy and ill-defined, and you only WISH for things to be different. • Having no CLEAR destination, you're often all dressed up with nowhere to go. • You may have daily successes, but LACK REAL PROGRESS in any one direction. • You never live up to your full potential because there's never anything IMPORTANT enough for you to give 100%. • You believe that life could be better, but you're just not sure how.

4. Are you good manager of your Goals ? However, when your Set Goals color is strong and vibrant... • Your future is bright and positive because you know precisely WHAT YOU WANT AND WHY. • You have CLEAR TARGETS to focus on and to guide each day's actions and commitments. • Your days and weeks build upon each other in a straight line, aiming towards new destinations -- even GREATER than the last. • You believe that life is INCREDIBLE because you are setting and achieving INCREDIBLE GOALS.

5. 1. The Power of Goals • Goal setting is obviously a powerful process. It’s based on the principle of focus. • It’s a common denominator of successful individuals and organizations. • If we hold on to our goals, we become masters instead of servants. But if we let them go, we often feel uneasy or guilty that we didn’t keep our commitment.

6. There are many reasons why we don’t achieve our goals. • Sometimes the goals we set are unrealistic. We create expectations that don’t reflect any sense of self-awareness. • Sometimes we set goals and work to achieve them, but either the circumstances change or we change. • Sometimes the goals we achieve are at the expense of other more important things in our lives. (Accomplishing one goal impacts other areas of life in a negative way.)

7. Goal setting is powerful because it accesses the power of: • Creative imagination We use our creative imagination to visualize of possibilities beyond our direct experience. • Independent will. We use our independent will to make choices, to transcend background, scripting, and circumstance. When we set a goal, we’re saying, „I can envision something different from what is, and choose to focus my efforts to create it.“

8. Self-awareness • The accurate assessment of our capacity and the balance in our Personal Integrity Account. • It helps us recognize and respect our need to stretch, to push the limits, to grow. • Conscience • An effective goal is in harmony with our inner imperatives. • It helps us to recognize that there are principles independent of us. It helps us to be humble and open to growth and change, to realize that we are neither omniscient nor omnipotent when we set a goal. Situation may change. We may change. And we can’t act with integrity without being open to that change.

9. How to set and achieve principle-based goals Without principles, goals will never have the power to produce quality-of-life results. A principle-based goal is all three: „the right thing, for the right reason, in the right way“ • Through conscience, we connect with the passion of vision and mission and the power of principles. • Through creative imagination, we envision possibility and synergistic, creative ways to achieve it. • Through self-awareness, we set goals with realistic stretch and stay open to conscience-driven change. • Through independent will, we make purposeful choice and carry it out, we have the integrity to walk our talk.

10. What? Why? How? • What?A principle-based „what“ focuses on growth and contribution. • Why?Why do I want to do it? Does my goal grow out of mission, needs, and principles? Does it empower me to contribute through my roles? It isn’t just setting and achieving goals that creates quality of life. • How?How am I going to do it? What are the key principles that will empower me to achieve my purpose? What strategies can I use to implement these principles? Once we create alignment between the „what“ and the „why,“ we’re ready to look at the „how.“ Doing the right thing for the right reason in the right way is the key to quality of life, and that can only come through the power of an educated conscience that aligns us with vision, mission, and true north.

11. What? Why? How? WHAT: • My goal is to maintain a healthy, well-disciplined body. WHY: • I will surely increase my self-confidence • I can build my personal character strength • I can have the strength, endurance, and physical presentation necessary to effectively fulfil my missions. • I can be an example to others in effective health maintenance. HOW: • Good nutrition. • Physical maintenance. • Mind/body connection. • Focus. I will attend to specific health problems.
