I am absolutely sure that you have goals and plans in your life. We all have. But, are they specific? Have you ever tried listing them all down like what you do when you are making your own travel itineraries? You see to it that you have jotted down all the places where you want to go or where to have that ‘signature pose’ picture, what time should you be in a certain tourist spot, and a lot more detailed what-to-dos. Having read about listing your lifetime goals and plans in Francis Kong’s post in Facebook few months back, I was motivated to list down my own.
Some of the subtitles in my lists are:
- Personal Goals (also includes plans for my family and for other people)
- Financial Goals (investments and business plans)
- Local and International Travel Goals
- Adventure Goals (like riding an elephant in Thailand, trying all the adventure facilities in Dahilayan Park in Bukidnon)
Remember to be specific in making your own list. Like in your Personal Goals List you may put ‘To learn how to scuba dive before I turn forty years old.’ And under your Financial Goals List you can write: ‘To have mutual fund investment amounting to at least 100,000 pesos by the end of first quarter of 2016.’ You can have as many as you want. It doesn’t matter if it reaches to 100 lists or so, as long as you believe you can and you are committed to achieving it.
Start putting down your goals and plans into black and white today. Like me, you will definitely be elated when you start ticking it one by one with a check mark because it gives you a certain feeling of self-pride and a sense of fulfillment.
