Why Goals Never Work.?

IT’S OK TO GIVE UP ON YOUR GOALS AS LONG AS YOU’VE TRIED YOUR HARDEST AND DONE YOUR BEST POSSIBLE WORK. IF WE REACHED EVERY GOAL WE SET FOR OURSELVES WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO STRIVE FOR.
WE ARE CONTINUALLY GROWING AND IT IS NOT REASONABLE TO ASSUME ARE GOALS SHOULDN’T CHANGE ALONG WITH OUR GROWTH.

Don’t feel bad most of us don’t always complete a goal, the trick is to give yourself a high goal at lest if you get there halfway you would have accomplish something and is a lot better than no accomplishment at all. try it.

Break goals down into the smallest tasks possible. For example, if your goal is to read a chapter in your history book and do the questions at the end, your first task is to get the book into your backpack before you leave school (you may not be in school, I’m just using this as an example). Your next task would be to remember to take your backpack home. Each task works to get the backpack to the desk, get the book out, open the book, sit down, read a paragraph, and so on. Working with smaller steps makes big goals much less daunting. Give it a try.

when you set your goals make sure they are realistic and not ideal goals.
for example if you are getting a D in a class and your goal is to make it an A. it doesn’t make sense to set your goal A, you need to make it realistic, a C or a B and then see if you are capable of bringing it up to A.
one other note: most of the time excitment is made on the way of reaching the goal not at the end. so try to enjoy what you are doing while you are trying to reach your goals because once you get there, you will realize it is not exciting anymore. the end point is never as exciting as the process.

They work. For you, I’m for sure

goals are plans. they give you direction. but they are not manuals whose direction you have to follow exactly. that is why you find yourself being lead into something else. its ok. i usually fill the day, week, month or year with a lot of goals and accomplish only 5% of them. but that does not mean i am inefficient. think about it. if you accomplish 5% of your goals everyday, in a year you’d go a long way!

you don’t take the time to calculate the pop ups and oppurtunities and make plans for them. And i am sorry to say, you can’t. it’s like counting the number of sand grains there are, or the stars

just work really hard for it…u never know maybe its not the right time for the goal to be achieved…or maybe ur just not ready to have it done!just stuggle to achieve it girl i know u can!

Are You asking a question or making a statement? If its a question of resolution, and recognition that one needs goals to progress, then are you simply saying that you have not made a serious determination about your goals…? If you are going astray from predetermined goals, is your problem a matter of importance in your goal choices? You know the answer to that…and in even setting easy goals, you acknowledge the import of goal setting, but you have yet to decide what goal is more important so you apparently tend to drift or veer with indecision about the important things. Your Tendency indicates a lack of vision. Thats about as important as having a goal..because without a vision, you will continue to drift into oblivion. Not enveable. sincerely

Maybe your goals lack scope. Most people set long term goals and short term goals, but successful organizations set goals and measure their progress with milestones, or mini-goals. Essentially, it’s a more concrete way of goal-management.
Set your long term goals. Make them specific and include deadlines (Instead of “lose weight”, try “lose 25 lbs before my wedding”). Make sure you have a reason to have a deadline, otherwise the deadline is just arbitrary. Then determine what steps need to be acomplished (In order to lose weight, I need to exersize and diet) and how long you have (for six months). Determine how much, or what parts of your goal has to be met per unit time (1 pound/week). Then set milestones to measure your progress. The more milestones you set, the easier it is to catch yourself if you are off-track, and the easier it is to get back on track. (Every week, I should be 1 lb lighter. Every month I should be 4 lbs lighter). This model takes long-term goals and interprets them in terms of short term goals.
Then you can figure out what it takes to meet those milestones. (I need to burn about 3500 calories a week, so I’ll eat 250 less calories and exersize off 250 calories).
Good luck.

Setting goals is great, but perhaps without doing that you would never have gone in different directions. Maybe setting goals for you, works by making you think and do things differently. Go with it.
