No Objective Leads To No End

No objective leads to no end. 

So today we will revisit our goals for the year. 

We want to make them S.M.A.R.T. 

When we are in our feels and emotions run high, we might say this year my goal is to be a light; or I’m going to be a positive change in the community. 

 

Very admirable for sure, but what does it mean? 

How will you know if you’ve accomplished it?

What is the end result?

 

A lot of times we fail at completing goals because they become never ending. Since there is no clear objective, we start out towards the goal and keep running until we run out. Out of gas, many get frustrated and either quit, say to themselves they could never do it, or put off the goal for other time, like never. 

 

A Coach’s (mentors, pastors, accountability partners, etc.) main function is to coach the habits and behaviors, so the results will be more positive in the direction of the Coachee. 

 

So from now on, we’re going to tweak our habits for better results!

 

Habit tweak for the day:

Set or change your goal to be:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Relevant 

Timely

 

Reword your goals in this fashion, and it will be a 1,000 times easier to create an action plan for each one! 

 

An action plan is your goal broken down into 3 or 4 simple smaller steps. 

 

So instead of, I’m going to be a positive change in the community... maybe, 

In February, I am going to volunteer in my church’s food drive 2 times. 

 

It’s specific, can be done, bound by time, and it’s relevant to what you want to do.
