In our life, we will be setting goals for ourselves to become a better person. Well however not all these goals we set for ourselves will be accomplished. But is there a way or ways to increase the possibility of accomplishing most of our goals? First, we need to start with setting a goal that motivates you. which means setting goals that you are actually interested in. If the outcome is not that important for you, or if you think it worth too much to accomplish it, then there is a great chance of you giving up working towards after a few weeks or even after a few days. Therefore “Motivation” is the first key step to achieving goals. Then, after you have set a goal that motivates you, you’ll have to consider if the goal you have set is SMART. When I say SMART I’m not saying you have to be super intelligent it means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Specific, “Your goal must be clear and well defined”. When you have a goal that is clear and well defined you will have a specific destination and direction so you can reach it smoothly. If not, you might feel lost or don't know what to while you’re approaching your goals. Measurable, make your goal measurable means give it a time period so there is something to measure and compare if you have improved. For example, “I want to increase my Math mark by 10% in the next 3 month” instead of “I want to improve my Math”. Attainable, When you’re setting a goal make sure your goal it's possible for you to achieve it. You will only demoralize yourself and erode your confidence if your goal is unachievable. Relevant, make sure your goal is actually relevant to the road you’re going to take in the future. If you are aiming to become a great singer then you should set a goal towards singing, writing songs and musical instrument. In this case “I want to increase my Math mark by 10% in the next 3 month” will not help too much. Time-Bound, A goal should have a deadline. Adding a deadline to your goal will increase your sense of urgency this will make you work harder and more efficient at achieving that goal. Also, this means that you know when you can celebrate success. Finally, Stick With It! That's the most important part of accomplishing your goals. When you have set a long term goal you might not notice any difference, building a daily plan and a reminder to keep yourself on track and ongoing is very important. Achieving a goal can be hard but no matter how hard it is and how much work it takes as long as it’s worth it then you shouldn't give up. Eventually, when you have reached your goal you will be so proud of yourself.

I really enjoyed reading this blog, goals are definitely something I try to set for myself. I agree with setting goals that are small, so that they are obtainable. Great job with the blog Martin

Great blog. People talk about goals a lot, but not a lot of people can actually do it and stick with it. Motivation is surely one of the most important thing you need to endurance before you're trying to achieve your goal.

this blog really hit close to home! this past weekend i was playing ball in Texas and with these coaches just changing the little things in my game it made me even closer to my set goals by just changing 1%. i really loved this blog i feel like everyone in life could relate on any level. and i really liked the part where u said set a deadline or time when u will be done your goals because i think that would 100% help u to complete your mission.

I love the SMART goal thing it seems really helpful and a useful way to set goals and to make sure they are achievable. The first step with anything is usually motivation but a lot of people struggle with motivation especially for something they don't want to do but I guess it's good that there are a lot of other blogs on motivation. Overall I like how you put three big steps and explained them and why they're important. Good Job!

Good blog! We can not go forward without a goal at all times. Especially in my case it will be gr12 next year. Sometimes the goal will be greatly reduced if the grades do not rise as expected.Your blog is a good blog that may motivate those people!
