- Clear goal and objectives are the success of any person /organizations
- setting goal and not being able to achieve it far better than not setting goals
- If you want to guarantee failure -------> Don't set Goals
- Don't over spirituaiize goal setting ( you know what i mean )
- if you fail to plan, then circumstances , situation ,problems , no real accomplishments, frustration will come all surrounding you
- one of the most productive thing we can do with our time is prayerfully plan
Planning isn't not something we adapted or invented its an inherited gift .. we have HIS Genes
Define your vision:
Define your vision:
- write your vision down .. where there is no vision people perish
- describe it in complete details
- make it as specific as possible
- don't commit to your vision with out first praying
- have a vision that is selfless and self giving
- in you vision God should always be the 1st place .
Difference between (a) dream and (b) goals
(a) Dream : a overall vision of am indefinite time in the future
(b) Goals : A goal is a plan aiming towards our vision
- 95 % of all Christians have all dreams
- they have no plans to make those dream come true --> means they don't set goals
- you cannot hit a target if you have not set it up
- having no goals is like operating a ship with no one to steer it .
-Once you have formed your vision you have to set goals for that vision to come to pass
So what are Goals ?
- we need goals to work towards our ultimate vision
-We are called to bear fruits ( outcome ) the tree that does not bear fruits is cut and thrown in the fire ( john 15 )
- goals are check points towards your vision
How to set goals ?
- Goals must be specific
- look at you vision ( you vision could be to give a particular exam you have been postponing ) & in order for your vision to be accomplished you need to set target goal and divide them over a period of months .
- be detailed as possible as possible -- use the SMART principle
- the best way to predict the future is to create it . - Commit your goals to writing
- a goal not committed to writing is a fantasy
- before setting a goal decide why you want to achieve it ---> ( what the benefit of achieving this one goal ) --> it will make achiving the goal all the more easy .
- your goals should be flexible ---> ( only in cases of unforeseen circumstances ) - Goal setting is a activity
-nothing happens automatically
-you must take direct conscious action to make it happen
- Weeds don't need to be fertilized they just grow , so will you life and work be full of weeds if you don't take direct and conscious efforts to remove out those weed and fertilize your field.
- " Do it now " is the is the only way to move ahead
- don't wait for something / some one to inspire you to start -- don't keep you option open
- sit down and actively decide how you want to achieve you goal.
- Goals setting sharpens present moment decision
- because you have set goals ---> you will automatically make the right daily decisions
- a plane is always 90% of the times off course but because it follows a radar ( goals) it always reaches its target destination ( vision ) on time ( you might have to slightly change you goals as you move towards you vision ... but that better than not having any goals. )
- you might not be successfully achieving your goals in the first few attempts, you should not give up . - Your Goal should be challenging
-you goal should be challenging
- don't be afraid of hard work
- be dynamic ,, don't be lazy or look lazy - Goals should have a dead line
- prioritize your goals
-set a targeted date for each goals
-deadlines help schedule our time
- don't wait for the right mood or feeling -- DO IT NOW

As a Christians we don't fight against flesh and blood but as Eph 6:12, tel us but , against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Satan surely does not want s to succeed
- Satan will do all thing to keep you from setting goals for your vision : laziness , circumstances, people
-We are called to be successful / fruitful :and Satan will do all things to put you off
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
What after having set goals?
-After setting goals set up targets to achieve those goals
-( BIG VISION ---> small goals to achieve your vision -----> event smaller targets ( or mini-goals ) to achieve you goals )
- if you want to break down you small tasks to even smaller task do that
----------------------> Your VISION
-------------------------------------------> goals
-------------------------------------------> goals
-----------------------------------------------------> targets ( to achieve your goals)
-----------------------------------------------------> targets
------------------------------------------------------------------> even smaller targets if required ( to help track your progress )
When should i work on my vision --> goals ---> targets ?
NOW ---- > tomorrow never comes !!
Ask you self these question if you ever fail to achieve your goals !!
1. how committed am i in achieving my goals ?
2. what sacrifice am i making so that my goals can be achieved ?
3.under what condition would i give up to achieve this goal?
4. is My desire strong enough to achieve this goals ? if not how would i increase this desire ?
well this is just the theory ---> practicals are when you actually do all this !!
