Setting goals requires thought about how you will go about achieving your goals. What exact steps, and in what order, do I need to take to reach this goal? How will I deal with possible set backs? What is the time frame to reach this goal? Do I need others to help me? The list can go on!
I am learning how to do this. To make my goals real - not just something I wish would happen. I am finding this to be a real challenge.
Like you have heard before, and I truly believe this, is that nothing worth while comes easy.
Becoming a better parent takes me looking in depth at how I respond and react to my children. What type of example do I set for them? How do I handle myself when dealing with nasty people? For me to be the wife I want to be for my husband I must the very aware of how I interact with him. Do I treat him with the same respect I want? Do I support and uplift him as I want him to support me?
Same is true at work. For me to be the coach I want to be for my athletes, I must learn from my coach. I must continue to educate myself. I must practice what I preach to my athletes. Do I fuel my body as I suggest they do? Do I put the same effort in to my WOD's as I expect them to? Do I listen to my coach as closely as I expect them to listen to me?
Setting a goal can be hard. It makes your wish real. It requires work, effort, sacrifice, possibly asking for help. Have the courage to make your wishes come true!
