SELF DISCIPLINE: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENT
WHAT ARE THE WAYS TO SET GOALS AND AND HAVE THE SELF DISCIPLINE TO ACHIEVE THEM?
A new year, a new you. Yes, it’s a very common theme and a catalyst for many people to make resolutions about self-improvement. But, to achieve those goals, more than desire is needed.
Desires and dreams are simply things we “wish” to have. A goal, on the other hand, is a target to work toward. To achieve the goal, it must be set to be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and have a timeline for success. These are “s.m.a.r.t.” goals because they establish a roadmap to the destination. This framework sets realistic parameters for accomplishing the work that must be done to achieve the goal.
