Hashtag Life Goals

29 Dec

Setting goals is so important. I have always known the importance of having goals, but it was not until recently that I actually recognized the benefit of actually writing them down in order to achieve true success. I mean, I’ve just never been a “goal writer- downer” type chick. Don’t you judge me; everyone can’t be as great as you!

But about a year or two ago, I had a change of heart and decided that I DID want to be great like you, so I actually started a life goal list. This was inspired by the book, The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears, by Mark Batterson. In the book, Mark had a chapter where he talked about his life goals and those of people he is connected to and how consistently “praying circles” around those goals affected how they were accomplished.

For those of you, that may be like me and have no clue what a life goal list is, allow me to help you. A life goal list is a list of goals that you want to accomplish in your life. I know, genius right!  These goals vary in rage from career goals to personal goal. From specific to vage. I was intreged because I do want to acccoplish some DOPE stuff in my life, so I decided to explore this life goal list and become a “goal writer- downer”.

Honestly, judging from the evaluation of my list, writing my goals down is one of the smartest things I could have ever done to be effective in actually accomplishing them. Some of these self- help experts really be knowing what they be talking about! (Horrible English, I know)

Below are the benefits I found to writing my goals down:

  1. It forced me to evaluate what was really important in my life.
  2. I am consistenly reminded of what I desire to accomplish, when I post them in a place I frequant. (I revisit my list on the 15th of every month)
  3. If it did make the list, after evaluation of importance, I am then held accountable by myself and those that I have communicated it to. (I hate when I don’t do something I say I’m going to do. But if I keep all my goals in my mind, majority of the time, I’m not going to say anything about it and if I don’t say it, does it HAVE to be accomplished?)

Below is my Life Goal list so far. As expected, as life goes on, thing get checked off and new things get added.

    I’m working on getting back into goal writing. Like you it’s never really been my thing but it’s because I’ve been approaching them the wrong way so I will try again.

    I love your list! We share quite a few goals, and I love your idea of revisiting every 15th of the month. I need to revisit my list more frequently!

    I’m loving your life goals list. I’ve also written out my life goals list and yearly goals, 90 day goals, etc. I’m really into goal-setting. Lol. One of my favorite things on my list is “Travel to every single continent at least once.”

    Goals are much better than resolutions. They give you something to aim for and to achieve, it gives you a purpose in life so you can prioritise.

    One big life goal for next year is to gather more courage to do the things that frighten me more.
    If one chooses to go through life with trepidation, it’s so hard to do much!

    I have read many list posts before the year 2016 ends (i wonder if its a norm?)

    But then,for me what makes it more adventure and fun is the discovery of what you can do, and what not, then make it happen ?

    When I started goal setting it was life changing! Currently, I have a list that can actually be waaaay more expansive; mostly because I only focused on what I wanted to do this year. Life list, here I come!

    I love your list. We do have a few similar goals. I’ve wanted to adopt since I was 10 years old. My plan is to open an account now to start saving for the expensive process.

    Also, I just visited the Niagara Falls last month and it was great. Just beware that it is very expensive there. Tax in Canada is 13% plus they have the promotional fee labeled as pf on your receipts. When you go ask to have the pf fee removed as its voluntary.

    I just made a vision board for my goals this year. I normally just write them down but I wanted to take the extra step of actually seeing my goals everyday, I keep it in my bedroom on the wall. My number one goal this year is to make enough income from blogging to stay at home with my newborn child. Life goal is definitely to own a house on the lake!

    I was right there with you about not writing my goals down. I’m definitely making an effort to write my goals down this year and can tell a difference all ready. It’s almost as if it’s not a real goal until you can see it written out in front of you. Great read!

    I’m like you were, I don’t write my goals down, but I’m liking this idea! We def have goals in common such as having children, traveling. I like the idea of introducing someone to Christ that is outside of church as its about going outside the 4 walls of the church.

    Goals are so important. I find when I get confused and don’t have a definitive one with certain things its like nothing gets accomplished. I don’t write them down but I keep saying I should make a vision board.
