The goals must be relevant

How relevant are the goals that you’ve selected for your life and your future? Are they aligned with who you are? Do they resonate with your values and beliefs? Or are they the opposite of everything that you believe in?

When we pick goals that go against who we are, we find it much more difficult to follow through. So how do you pick relevant goals for your life? One way is to take a moment to jot down everything that you value and believe in.

For example, if you value honesty, yet you think that all rich people are crooked and somehow got that way through some sly methods, you might find it difficult to achieve big-money goals. What we believe in are also the product of things we’ve heard while growing up.

Things like “money doesn’t grow on trees,” or “more money, more problems,” and “all men cheat and lie,” and so on, become ingrained in our minds, influencing our every thought, emotion and resultant behaviour. Take the time to jot down the things that make you into who you are.

Then, pick relevant goals that are in harmony with what you believe in and value. You’ll find your goal-setting journey to be much more harmonious and fluid when you pick relevant goals to your life and who you are deep down inside.
