How Good are you at Setting and Achieving Goals?
The pros and cons of setting goals have been disputed for years. Often, we have good intentions but do not know how to make them real. The good news is that Positive Psychology research indicates that there is value in setting goals. Learn how goals direct your attention by clarifying where you are going and motivate you to take action.
Some Things we know from the Science of Goal Setting
are:
- When you set goals that are meaningful to you, you will be more motivated to achieve them.
- To be meaningful, the goals need to match your values and use your strengths.
- To be happier and more satisfied with life, you need a balance of short and long-term (no more than 3-5 years) goals.
If you do not like the word goal, think of it as making a commitment to yourself. Begin by thinking of a goal as a dream with a deadline. Only make one to three of them. It is crucial that the dream is important to you and matches your values. Otherwise, it will not be fulfilling even if you achieve it.
Success Starts with a Dream
As you think of your goals, keep in mind Kermit the Frog’s advice, “Success starts with a dream. Dreams are how we figure out where we want to go. Life is how we get there, and always allow for traffic.” (Before You Leap, 2006).
The Latest Findings on Goal Setting
Stephen Kraus, Ph.D. writes about some of the latest findings on goal setting in his book Psychological Foundations of Success (2002). The following secrets will help keep you on track as you move forward. Your goals need to
:
- Be inspirational or important to you and in harmony with your needs and values so that you can commit to them.
- Look at where you want to be or go. Have a desired outcome with a “want” mindset. This focuses on possibilities instead of an avoidance outcome with a “should” mindset.
- Be attainable and challenging for you to commit to them.
- Be specific with realistic dates, numbers or time frames.
- Be measurable to give you feedback at set times. This helps you measure your progress.
- Have a deadline. This helps you stay focused. Have a long-term goal or outcome, and then chunk it down into smaller bites. Monthly and weekly goals increase your productivity and motivation.
Effective goals will give you direction, motivation, and help you refine your strategy
when necessary so that you will be successful. Start by looking at the possibilities in your life. Then choose a goal that is important to you. Following the six secrets, you will achieve your dreams.

Hope
is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. The Apostle Paul ranked it in the top three God-given qualities that are eternal: “Faith, hope, and love abide, these three…” (I Cor 13:13)
So, how do we hang on to hope no matter what? First of all, we must ask God to give us his hope and to help us see life through his eyes. Our perspective is often limited and short-sighted, but God sees the big picture. After he created the universe, God said: “It is good!” Even though sin entered the world, God had a plan to redeem the world. God always has a plan.
He is the eternal optimist who seems to specialize in turning even the worst situations around for our good. (Rom 8:28)
Second, we need to stop focusing on problems and watch for solutions. The Enemy will always point out the negative and try to get us to give up. Satan will remind us of our past mistakes and invite us to condemn ourselves; if we let him, he will get our eyes off Jesus and convince us that our situation is hopeless. Nothing could be further from the truth. We Christians are children of the most high God.
With God on our side it doesn’t matter who is against us. We are more than conquerors in Jesus Christ - he has already won the victory.
Finally, we must trust God to do what we cannot. If we rely on our own power it is easy to become discouraged. There are many things in life beyond our control, but nothing God can’t handle. Paul said, “Whenever I am weak, then I am strong.” (II Cor 12:10) Many times when the glass seems half empty, it is only because God plans to fill it to overflowing as we trust him. When asked about the man born blind, Jesus said this happened so that a work of God could be performed in him. Do we trust God to work through our weakness?
Why not ask God to give you his perspective
, tell Satan to take his negativity and get lost, and then trust God to turn evil into good? Hope in God and watch to see what he will do. He will not disappoint you. God has great things in store for you - beyond anything you can imagine!
