You may want to watch every new movie on Netflix, but unless you are a internet TV blogger it isn’t relevant to your personal growth. Your goals need to be relevant to who you want to be over a lifetime.
You need to have goals that are relevant to your station in life and your own growth. When you write a goal it needs to be relevant to some greater purpose that you have. It has to have meaning behind it. The goal needs to hold meaning for you. When a goal is relevant then you have motivation to keep pushing towards it when the excitement has worn off. I love this quote by Viktor Frankl
“Those who have a ‘why’ can bear with almost any ‘how’.
Tips to help you clarify
- Where do you want to be in 10 years? 5 years? 3 years? Does the goal help you get there?
- Why is this goal important to you? Should it be?
- What are the benefits of this goal for your long term growth and development.
