Criteria 3: All goals must have a Specific Deadline.

Welcome back. I hope that the past two days have been great for you. Today we shall take a look at the 3rd Criteria of Setting Good Goals Habits.

Must all goals have deadlines?

Deadlines are much dreaded by many, including myself. So many times, i find myself renaming it to Completion Dates. Many of us like to laze around like we have all eternity to ourselves. I like to be at the beach doing nothing but that is different when it comes to having completion dates for our goals. Without a time frame, you will find it almost impossible to achieve anything. You will start many projects and have many resolutions in wanting to get things done but if there is always a “tomorrow”, you will find yourself being stagnant and not moving. Whatever great goals that you have will never be achieve. Trust me, years done the road, you will find yourself chasing after the same goals, year after year after year. If you have the same goals every year, it also means that it will have the tendency to drain your of whatever enthusiasm that you have in the beginning. Remember, you have totally no control over how many tomorrows you have. If you want to claim your destiny in being successful in achieving your goals, you need to have completion dates. Without them, how can you compare your progress against the first day that you have set that goal. Time is your gift from God, use it wisely, invest it and make use of good goals setting habits to push yourself forward. For the sake of yourself, your family and your loved ones, do not forget to have the completion dates on your goals.

See you again in two days’ time.

JUICE!
