What you mean by setting definite goal?
Majority of people are familiar with SMART goal system.
This is a good way of setting short and ultra short term goals. Short term = 1 year. Ultra short term = 1 month. Many people set their life goals based on these principles. This is the best way to hinder your capabilities. Let me share an anecdote with you.
When I was a kid, I always had the front seat in the car reserved for me. One fine day, my parents didn’t allow me to have the front seat and offered it to someone else. That’s it. I decided my goal. At the age of 18 I will get my driver’s license and drive a cab. I will drive 10 passengers each day so I could travel 10 times every day. In this way I will never be told to sit at the back. The front seat will always be reserved for me.
Does the above written goal fall into SMART category?
Is this the full extent of my capabilities? NO!
Is this the best I can offer the world? NO!
Is this the reason of my existence? NO!
Does this define who am I? NO!
We humans are evolutionary beings. We constantly keep on evolving generations to generations, day to day. You are not the same person whom you were yesterday. You have unique experience each day, each and every aspect of your mind and body keeps on evolving. Just as you are reading this line, 3.8 millions cells are born in your body. I gave the example of me being a kid, because the time difference between a kid and an adult is vast. This clearly differentiates the thinking process, power of your mind and your capabilities. Do not forget that you are evolving each and every second; you are no longer the same human being you were earlier, mentally, physically, spiritually. As you age, you evolve and you develop a better understanding of your capabilities.
The main question, how to set your life goal?
We have developed SMUUT system for setting your life goal.
When you set a goal for your life, you start to prosper and evolve in harmony with your goal. Things might seem unachievable and unrealistic for the people who don’t have a broader perspective. When you start working on your goal, you get the aspect mentioned earlier, direction, focus, clarity and vision.
Steadily things get into perspective. You unlock or develop your potential compatible to your goal. There is an old saying in our India. The jar of rice at our home should always be half empty. This means that you should never be satisfied with what you have. You should be happy and practice gratitude with whatever you have but never be satisfied. Yearn for better, positive things in your life. Be optimistic and walk your journey of success.
