Are My Goals Still Relevant?
Goals change over time. Life is full of surprises! As we remain focused on winning in every area of our lives this year, it is critically important that over the summer months you take some time to review and assess if your goals are still relevant.
Now is a great time to do a midyear review of your goals. When conducting a review of your goals, the first step is to look at your goals you set and ask yourself whether they are still relevant.
Sometimes, when you originally set your goals, the future is murky. It’s impossible to predict the future and to know with complete certainty that a set of circumstances will materialize. With this under consideration, you may have had some clarity on the general direction of where you want to go, but now that you are six months into the year you have realize there is a slight alternative you are now working towards.
This is fine and goals should be constantly tweaked and refined… this is all part of the process!
The key is to ensure that your goals are still linked to the things that you are passionate about. “If you are blessed, your passion will align directly with your purpose. It is common for your passion to lead you right to the path of your purpose.” (Effective Living, page 19)
Passion creates the drive, energy, and enthusiasm necessary for success.
When looking over your goals, it’s also good to remind yourself of why you are working towards them. Reminding yourself of your why will be momentum to keep you going. “Why exceeds surface satisfaction of the most lavish material acquisitions, social acceptance of the highest order, and political correctness.” (Effective Living, page 1)
Your goals and your life need meaning. Answering the question of why will reinvigorate the drive for making them a reality.
Remember, at the beginning of this year, we declared this was the year of winning. Take the time to review your goals and adjust as needed. Don’t forget the lifestyle you promised yourself. Stay focused. Create your life.
