Goals What the Heck are They

Any person who tackled life changes has heard the term Goals. Heck turn on the news and you hear it. So what is goal. I think many writers over complicate the process. Lets start with a defination.

A goal is  any out come that you want to happen in your life. It can be a possesstion type goal a carear goal a relationship goal. But a goal is not a vauge wish.

A wish might be I want more money in my life. So if you find a quarter your wish has been met.

A goal might be I want to make 100,000 dollars a year.

So whats the difference.

A wish is a vauge statement that cannot be measured. A goal is specific.

So lets get all the factors togother.

A goal is specific

A goal has a time frame. It should have a completion date. A wish is usually a someday type thing. Someday I will reach this

A goal is measurable.  A person that was not familiar with you can see  if you have reached your goal.

Lastly a goal is written down and you decide on a course of action to do it.

In another article I will describe that difference in time frames and why should have some from all the time frames available.
