Choose It!

As long as you score truthfully and don't guide Choose It! to the answer you "secretly" want, you significantly improve the chances of making the best possible decision.

Remember: You actually make the decision.

There are a few requirements for goal-setting:

• A goal must be realistic or attainable. Something that will benefit you and yours. If it does that, it should benefit all concerned. Now, isn't that "a good thing"?

• A goal has to have a time frame, within to accomplish it. This allows a means to measure your progress. That does not mean you will or must accomplish your goal within that the alotted time. If others are involved they must agree to work together towards the accomplishment of said goals. Isn't that something to work and look forward to?

• Documentation. Write what you want to achieve and post-it in as a daily reminder. Refridgerator or mirror makes an excellent choice. Start small and grow. Three is a good starting point. Isn't that a great way to stay on track and keep all parties informed?

• Repeat the process as goals are achieved.

The 5 w's, who, what when, where and why is a good means to document objectives. Objectives are made of Task, Condition and Standard. Task (What) describes the action required. Condition (Who, When, Where, Why) about the task to be performed and includes outside influences. Standard to what level must you perform this task. The desire results. It is a good format to ensure you covered all your objectives. Objectives are the steps to be taken or tasks to be performed in order for you to accomplish your goals. Each goal is accompanied by a set of objectives.

Take your time and be as specific as possible in describing your goals and objectives to yourself. After all this is something you really want to do. If there are other parties involved, consult with all involved parties to ensure this is something you all would like to work together on. Keep them well informed.

Visualize myself working See yourself succeeding”. Take a few moments each day and visualize the who, what when, where and why about what you would like to achieve, your T-chart. Find a quiet place and spend a few minutes alone doing that.

Take Action Self-Motivation Without this one, nothing will happen, well at least not for you.

The size or difficulty of your goals does not matter, atleast you've taken the first step. You will fail but do not let that stop you. It's like riding a bike, you must learn. That takes practice. Stay focused.

POI Pray over it. That's where your spirituality comes in. Ask your creator and anybody else for help in overcoming obstacles. Don't expect help so quickly but keep the faith, it will come.

Sacrifice This is most difficult for some. In today's time, we often expect great things, Now. I've learned, the higher my goals, the greater my sacrifice. So be prepared.

Do things to build confidence, credibilty, discipline and break it down into smaller increments so you can appreciate your efforts.

Be humble, motivate yourself and surround yourself with positive thinking people, throughout the entire process. Consult with them and consider their feedback.

Positive Environment If you ain't in one, then build your own. Think positive and Read inspirational and motivational materials related to what it is you are working on. Duplicate those efforts.

"Work" at it until you "Get It Done". "Where ever there is a will, there is a way and through God all things are possible." My mom.

Now, if for some far-fetched reason you still do not make it, it will not be because you "Did not give Your Very Best". Graciously, move on to the next.
