The Importance of Setting Clear Goals

It's good that we have dreams, goals, and desire but we must think twice before setting up any goal in our life.

If you ever been on a long route without proper GPS or a map then it might have turned out to be a good adventure but you might have taken a long time to reach the destination.

It's important to focus on your goal instead of focussing on the problem. This can be understood by following analogy " when you focus on your problem then you lose your goal but when you focus on your goal then you lose your problem". Many people used to left their job when their bosses scold them, but they must not change their goal but they must change their strategy. We cannot play football without a goal, a ship that has no rudder cannot go anywhere and hence a professional without any goal cannot go anywhere. No goal means no direction. There is also a very famous shloka in Bhagwad Gita where Krsna has spoken about Goal setting:

vyavasayatmika buddhir

ekeha kuru-nandana

Krsna says when you and your goal become one then you'll not see obstacles in your path and ideas will come automatically. Once upon a time, Dronacharya took Pandavas and Kauravas in Jungle for a training. He took a wooden sparrow and placed it over a tree. Then he called Duryodhana and told him to take a bow and target sparrow but first of all answer what you see? Duryodhana tells me that I can see sparrow, tree, leaves and so many other things. Dronacharya tells him to sit down. Then he called Yudhishthir to come forward, take a bow and target sparrow but first of all answer what you see? Yudhishtir tells that he can see the eyes of the bird, sparrow, tree, and leaves. Similarly, Bheem came and Dronacharya asked him what you see? Bheem answered that he can see Mangoes. Dronacharya asked again, what you can see? he answered that I can see so many mangoes and can I bring some mangoes for you Guruji? Dronacharya scolded him and then called Arjun and he faced the same question. But Arjun told him that he can only see the eyes of the bird. Dronacharya asked him that can you see tree, leaves or any other thing but Arjun denied. Arjun said that he can't even see Dronacharya (his beloved Guru) also. This type of focus is required for the goal.
The goal must be set in such a way that it must mean something even after 20-25 years. We must think that when we will be on our death bed then at that time it will mean something or not. Whatever aspirations we have must be logical and rational as most of our goals are just traps. Those traps are like a one-way road and we may not come back on the same road again. This thing can be understood by an analogy that when we can ask older people about their goals when they were 18 years old then they will say that they are fortunate that their goals never come true. That's why it's very important that we must take a break from our busy schedule and sit in peace and think about setting up a certain goal. The goal which we set up in desperation is logical only at that moment and maybe the next morning we may think that where I got tangled up now.

As you practice these steps, you will begin to honor your desires, know yourself better, build your confidence and get more ideas about bigger goals.

We'll share step by step process of Goal setting and SMART technique in subsequent Blogs.
Goal Setting is like building a muscle: the more you train, the more you gain.
