Always Dream Enormously Big
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” –Les Brown
Nothing has benefited my life more than shooting for the moon and dreaming enormously big dreams. When you dream big and shoot for the moon, you are forcing yourself to get out of your comfort zone.
So if no one encourages you , ENCOURAGE YOURSELF because SELF MOTIVATION💪 is key .
Many times our dreams may seem unattainable,or even laughable , don’t adjust them rather work on the actions steps that will help you to achieve them.
So by setting challenging goals you always force yourself to achieve the simpler ones that sets you on your way .
That is why it is very important to make SMART GOALS.
SMART is an acronym that is used to guide goal setting .Below is the definition:
⏺️ S for Specific
You need to ask yourself is my goal specific because if your goals are not specific you won’t be able to focus your attention towards achieving them.
⏺️ M for Measurable
Is your goal measurable? A goal is measurable only when you can assess your progress towards achieving them .Assessing the progress of your goal will help you stay focused and meet set deadlines.
⏺️ A for Achievable
Your goal should be attainable to be successful . A goal must be stretching and ambitious but not much that it becomes unachievable.. Ask your self the following questions below👇:
1️⃣Is my goal within my control?
2️⃣Can I get it done with the resources I have ?
3️⃣Can I get it done within the set time frame ?
These questions can help you know if your goals are achievable.
⏺️R for Relevant
You need to ask yourself do I have the skills to achieve my goals ? If not you can plan to acquire those skills to help you achieve those goals.
⏺️T for Time frame
A time bound goal should answer the question of when and what because the moment you put a deadline on your DREAM it becomes a GOAL.
So every goal must have a time frame or deadline .
So it is up to you to ask yourself,
Are my goals SMART? That is are they specific, measurable, achievable, relevant , and time bounding ?
Are my goals written down?
Do they have deadlines ?
Are you focused on your goal?
Do your goals stretch your limits?
