Goal setting…

Many people know about and practise goal setting. There are loads of literature on goal setting.

In my Learning Solutions Workshop, I differentiate between a goal statement and learning objectives.

A goal statement reflects the outcome from the organisation’s perspective while learning objectives must reflect the behaviours expected of the learners after the lesson.

Similarly, after we have written our life goal statements, we need to examine the intent. If the ‘goal’ can be accomplished within a single-event action within a very short time [ie limited shelf life], then it is more likely a task than a goal.

A vision is ideally for a life-time [at least for longer term]. There may be multiple goals, which change / evolve, to realise the vision.

To arrive at the goals, I must reflect on my passion, motivation, etc. With the goals, I will seek out the learning [learning objectives] I need.

A well written vision and goal statements will help me to move closer to the eulogy I desire.

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
