How Far Are You From the Goal?

By Maloi Malibiran-Salumbides

Halos tapos na ang 3rd quarter ng taong ito. Gaanong kalapit ka na ba sa mga goals na iyong ginawa sa panimula ng 2013? For you to be able to reach your goals, it is important that you fix your eyes and yes your heart on them.

Ang sabi ni Denis Watley, author ng The Psychology of Success “The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.”

Tatlong bagay ang ating alalahanin patungkol sa pagtuon ng ating tingin sa goals na gusto nating marating. Hopefully these can also lead you to eventually accomplish your goals.

First, Define your Goals. Where will you focus your attention and efforts if you do not know your goals are? We easily get side-tracked and pre-occupied with so many things if our goals are not clear. If you don’t have any plans it really doesn’t matter what you do and where you go. But if you want to be successful in achieving your goals plan well on how to get there by first defining your goal.

Second, Align your Routine to Reach Your Goals. Reaching your goals requires adjustment in your routine, discipline and a lot of hard work. Whatever does not work in your current system, change it with habits that will help you reach your goals.

And Lastly, Constantly Review Your Goals. To fix your eyes on the goals, you need to have it constantly in your head and your heart. Companies come up with all kinds of reminders, posters, tarpaulins, theme song, so that their people will always be conscious of what their targets are. Quarterly evaluation of our plans are also important. Do that for your company. And do that even for your personal goals.

Goal setting and fixing your eyes on the goal are two different things. You can set your goals and just forget about them. But when you fix your eyes on the goal, there is an intentional effort to constantly work on it until it happens.

Let Jesus be our example when it comes to fixing our eyes on the goal. Hebrews 12:2 says, "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Kahit mahirap ang gawaing itinakda para sa kanya na tuparin, nagawa niya itong tapusin because His eyes were fixed on the goal. His heart was sat to glorify God the Father.

Saan ba nakatuon ang iyong puso at paningin ngayon?
