The concept of goal setting, being mindful of what one is ...



Goal Setting

“Do or do not. There is no try.” Yoda

|WHY SET GOALS? |

|Setting goals helps you understand your priorities, to know what is really important to you. Goals |

|help you rank your priorities and achieve them. If you want to do well in school and in life, you |

|need to set goals to get things done. The key to accomplishing goals is to have a plan and put it |

|in action!! |

A goal must be: S.M.A.R.T.

|S |Specific |One goal at a time. Clearly state what you want to happen. ΛNot Specific: I want to make good grades |

| | |ϑSpecific: I want to have a 93% average in science |

|M |Measurable |Define what you want to accomplish and track it by time or quantity. ΛNot measureable: I want to make a lot of free throw |

| | |shots ϑMeasureable: I want to make 8 out of 10 free throw shots in the next game |

|A |Achievable |Your goal should be challenging, but also within your reach. ΛNot achievable: I want to make 200 free throw |

| | |shots in one game ϑAchievable: I want to make 8 out of 10 of the free throw shots |

| | |that I attempt |

|R |Rewarding |Why is this goal important to you? ΛNot rewarding: I will improve my |

| | |grades so my mom will stop nagging me ϑRewarding: I want to improve my grades so I|

| | |can make honor roll |

|T |Time-limit |When will you start and when will you end? You need a timeframe. ΛNo time limit: I want to learn to play |

| | |guitar ϑTime limit: I want to learn to play 3 Beatles songs by the end of |

| | |the semester |

How do I get started?

You begin with the end in mind.

|αKeep it positive. |αKeep it personal. |αKnow it’s possible. |

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” α Michael Jordan
