Setting Intentional Goals For 2019
How do you set an Intentional Goal?
In life in order to accomplish certain things that don't come easy to us we need to put a little extra effort into these things. Setting goals is that little extra effort we need to put into achieving the results we desire.
Before you quickly move on and think you can just simply set a goal in your mind and be done with it; I’m going to share how you can turn your goal into an intentional goal. which is simply a goal with a plan.
“Failing To Plan Is A Plan To Fail”
~ Banjamin Franklin (according to the Internet)
Goals Must Be In Writing
Put that goal of yours on paper. Something powerful happens when you write it out
Goals Must Be Specific
What exactly do you want to achieve? This is where you take a dream and make it real
Goals Must Be Measurable
What are the daily, weekly and monthly steps you’re taking to achieve this goal?
Goals Must Have A Time Limit
Now we don't want to become procrastinators. Set a finish line for your goal
Goals Must Be Yours
Make sure this is something you want not your parent or spouse. This is your unique goal
Finding Balance Within Our Lives
In your life do you find yourself crushing it in one area and then coming up short in another?
As we move our way through life we will find that some things come natural to us. For some socializing and bringing people together comes easy. Then there are areas in our lives that aren’t so easy. That same person may find themselves struggling to keep up with their gym visits and healthy eating.
Giving credit where credit is due.

It’s one thing to type out your goals, and it’s another to take pen to paper. When you begin to take your thoughts and form them into words on paper through the movement of your hand something very powerful happens. Your goal becomes real, these letters on the paper hold you accountable. I like to keep my goals easily visible so I’m constantly reminded of them. The fridge always seems to be a good place.
