GVC2205 - Achieving goals

"If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.”

--- Mannat Arora, DLDAVPP

What are Goals?

A goal is a desired outcome or vision of the future that an individual or group of people envision, plan, and commit to achieving. Goals are the decisions and commitments we make to achieve our objectives, break bad habits, adopt useful habits, or achieve more in various areas of our lives. Goals assist us in determining what we want in life, which helps us achieve focus. They keep us motivated and propelled, keeping us on the move at all times. Goals, when properly conceived and pursued, can assist us in making the most of our one and only lives.

Significance of Your Goals

If you don't grasp why the objective is important to you, it's meaningless. Understanding why will provide you with a greater sense of purpose and keep you motivated during challenging times. There's nothing stopping you from downgrading your aim and lowering the bar if you don't have a sense of purpose. To achieve big, audacious goals, you must be firm on the goal but flexible on the approach, and having a compelling why will help you keep your sights on the prize and persevere in the face of adverse circumstances.

Commitment to Goals

Goal commitment is generally defined as an individual’s determination to extend effort toward a goal over time to achieve it according to authors, commitment is a “volitional psychological bond reflecting dedication to and responsibility for a particular target” This definition of commitment can be applied to any target within the workplace: the target may be the organization, leading to the notion of organizational commitment, or a specific objective leading to the concept of goal commitment, which is the focus of our study.

The truth is that some goals are achieved while others are not. Some failure is also required to make you more successful in life. Life is like a spring. The lower you go, the higher you tend to jump. What this means is don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today.

Setting goals is a process that changes over time. The goals you set in your twenties will most likely differ from those you set in your forties.

Whatever your age doesn’t matter in the end, as long as you continually revisit your life goals and work to update them.
