Goals - Accountability

We are goal-oriented animals. Our mind needs a focus to target. Without a focus, our mind wanders around. Achieving goals gives a sense of self-esteem and satisfaction, which cannot be obtained anywhere else. To feel good because we have done something we were aiming for is a great feeling. It is a medicine for our mind. It gives us new vigor and new joy. When we feel good about ourselves, negativities go out from the mind.
Setting Goals-

Set small goals that are achievable. Do not set high goals to begin with. If you fail to achieve them, you will feel bad. After setting these goals, write them and keep the paper with you most of the times. Do write the time frame in which you want to achieve these goals. Without time frame a goal makes no sense. If I say that I want to loose 10 KGs. of my weight it makes no sense unless I add that I want to do it in next three months.

Accountability-
Now comes accountability. After you have set the goals, find out your progress over a time frame. Monitor it. Wherever you feel you are slack you need to re tighten your belt and work harder. After end of the period, find out how much did you achieve. Compare that with your goals. What are your results? If you have lost 5 KGs. though your goal was 10 KGs. what would you fel? You feel great, because you reached half the way. Reaching half the way is better than not beginning at all.

Setting goals and becoming accountable to them is one of the best ways to develop. As I said earlier setting highly unrealistic goals may dampen your spirit because they will always look unattainable. If you set realistic but ambitious goals, you will feel good monitoring them.
