Pinpoint and Prioritize Your Goals
Many people have a mile-long list of goals they’d like to accomplish. Maybe you want to travel the world, own your own company, give a speech in front of 1,000 people, learn to play guitar, and have a fluent conversation in Japanese sometime in your lifetime. Or maybe, on the other end of the spectrum, you have no idea what you want to do. Whichever of these extremes describes you, it would benefit you to figure out which of your goals are the most important and which will be most worth your while.
Think about what you really want out of life. What’s most important to you? Do you want great relationships, a happy marriage, good friends, a nice home, financial stability, career success, health, unique experiences? Most of us want all of these things.
Make a list of everything you really want. Then make a list of all the goals you have considered. Which of your goals will fulfill the greatest number of wants?
For instance, owning your own company may mean that you can have better financial stability, which will make it more possible for you to travel, have more free time to pursue unique interests, and spend quality time with your spouse and friends. Figure out one to three overarching goals that produce the most desirable results, and bring them to life.
