Tuesday's Talk With D
“A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.”
Bo Bennett
As we
enter into our 3rd week, our focus this week centers on your dreams
and goals.
Before we get started let’s reflect on last
week’s post. As I stated, having a clear picture (vision) of who you want to be
in the future, set’s the path for you to reach your goals. It’s a road-map to
guide you through the hills and valleys. When times get rough as life sometimes
does, the vision you have for your life will appear in your mind and set you
back on your path to greatness. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Wow, how time flies, we are already in our 3rd week of
questions. I hope you’ve taken the time to reflect on these questions the last
couple of weeks. My goal is to prepare you for 2015. By asking these questions
I hope you think about your future and what you have to offer the world. You were
meant for greatness. It’s time you recognize this and take the next step
towards your dreams and goals. You have gifts and talents that are meant to be
shared with the world.
As we bring our focus back to this week’s questions, I want you to take some time and think about your answers. Because we are winding down to almost two weeks left in the year, I have more in depth questions for you this week. These questions can spark something inside of you that make you say, YES, I’m moving towards my dreams and goals in 2015 and making them a reality!
What are your goals for 2015?
Have you written your goals
down?
Are your goals precise and
clear?
Are your goals realistic for
you to achieve?
The
highest achievers in life are the ones that set goals. When we set goals we are
saying that we want to succeed in life. We are making it a point to make our
dreams and goals happen to fulfill our destiny. Even though things do not
always work out as we plan, at least we have taken a step towards setting goals
for our lives. Whether our goals are big or small, the point is to set goals
and do our best to accomplish them. There will be times that we have to expand
the time frame on our goals. There is nothing wrong with that, so if that
occurs don’t look at it as a setback. If anything you might have to go back and
figure out if this goal is realistic for you to achieve at this moment. Life
presents many challenges, so at any given time, there can be a setback. If that
is the case, just take a step back and figure out a plan. Maybe look at a
short-term goal that will be easier for you to achieve in a shorter time frame. When it is obvious that the
goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action
steps-Confucius
There
are short-term goals and long-term goals. The point is to figure out your goals
whether short-term or long-term that you want to achieve in 2015. Some goals
will be easier to accomplish than other goals. The easiest part is to sit down
and figure out what you want to accomplish. The hardest part is finding the
time to actually work on your goals and see them into fruition. Accomplishing a
goal is so rewarding and leaves you feeling like you are sitting on top of
the world.
Whether
small or large goals, short or long-term, I want your focus to be on setting your
goals for the upcoming year. Setting goals and taking action toward our goals
raises our self-confidence. I started my blog in 2013 because I wanted to post
content that inspired people and touch on various parts of who I am and what I
am learning about myself as I become older and wiser. We all have a story that
can inspire others, well, let’s just say, I posted five times that
year and I was not pleased with myself. However, this year after attending the
Blog Elevated Conference I set a goal to dedicate more time to blogging.
Since
attending the blogging conference, I’ve been more dedicated to posting
regularly. I will share this, it is a challenge finding time to sit down and
write a post but it is also rewarding in the end. Each time I write and publish
a post on my blog my self confidence is raised and I’m like, yes, this week’s
goal is accomplished. It’s an awesome feeling knowing that I made and fulfilled
another commitment of publishing a post.
Whether
I post weekly or twice a month, my goal is to post on a regular basis and
quality content that engages my audience. Three goals that I have set for 2015
are to take my blogging to a higher level by partnering with other bloggers and
being a guest blogger on their blog. The second goal I have is to build a
larger reading audience. The third goal I have set is to grow my follower list
for my blog. I know this will be a challenge for me because I still have other
responsibilities in my life, but with dedication, determination, and the
passion that I have to inspire others it will be all worth it in the end.
So
again, I ask you, what are your dreams and goals for 2015?
