My Personal Goals Essay

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy–tale like, we tend to see life through a rose–colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal. First, my family goals include how I see myself and how I see my...show more content...

I have planned monthly individual date nights with my children, so that they can have my undivided attention for a certain period of time. The second family short term goal takes into account my marriage. In order to raise happy and healthy children, a happy and healthy relationship with one's spouse is paramount. In order to achieve this goal my husband and I have decided to also dedicate more time for the two of us. For the next year we have made an agreement to take at least one vacation together, so that we may increase the bond that brought us together. We have also decided that for the next three year we will spend Holidays as a family so that we may create our own family traditions, we will do whatever is in our power to spend Holidays together, that includes not working or making other plans with the rest of our immediate families. On many occasions my personal goals have come before my professional aspirations. A career in the medical field has always been something I have looked forward to. As a child I wanted and dreamed of being a doctor, however due to the choices I made in life and the priorities that I had not thought of, I have come to realize that my childhood dream may not come true. Yet, I was able to compromise and make short and long term goals that will lead me into a career in the medical field. My long term goal is to enter the medical field world and be a respected contributor to it. I want to be able to help others in the time of need. In

One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a better life, and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families; dream of better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives; certainly dream of better spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams, and not only to pursue them, but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to achieve those dreams. Powerful!

What are your dreams and goals? This isn't what you already have...show more content...

No other people. No cell phone. No computer. Just you, a pad, a pen, and your thoughts. Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that really get your blood moving. What would you LOVE to do, either for fun or for a living? What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you were guaranteed to succeed? What big thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When you answer these questions, you will feel great and you will be in the "dream zone." It is only when we get to this point that we experience what our dreams are! Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don't think of any as too outlandish or foolish–remember, you're dreaming! Let the thoughts fly and take careful record. Now, prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember, we are always moving toward action, not just dreaming.

Here is the big picture: Life is too short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be able to do is look backward. You can reflect with joy or regret. Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams, are those who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace when they near the end of their lives. They have finished well, for themselves and for their families.

Remember: These

Leaders must be many things. They must be the pinnacle of what their workforce would want to follow. Leaders must be accessible by the people while being above reproach at an attainable level. If leaders are not above reproach they could be dissuaded by the alternate viewpoints. It's imperative that leaders encompass motivation and a spark of charisma to be effective and to impart vision to their employees.

In my opinion, a leader needs to be both very likeable and able to be an authoritarian on opposite sides of the spectrum. The person chosen to be the desired leader can and will make a following for themselves. If a leader can and does possess inherent likeable and good leadership qualities, then people will be willing to...show more content...

In following the goals and aspirations of the company directive the because their group needs to spend time on that which matters (Big Dog and Little Dog's Juxtaposition, 2011). They must be focused on and adhering to the group mindset and focus on unmeasured ambitions. These are very imperative to vision because they give a framework to their projects and give an adherence to the task.

Leaders must be the ones to set goals and objectives. Goals are imperative to the success of an organization or business's vision in many various ways. The goals and objectives that a company sets need to be something that the employees under the leader or leaders would aspire and want to follow. They must be ideas and aims that are representative of the company and attainable to all those people that are involved.

These goals and objectives are very vital and important to the furtherance of any company. The main purpose of a goal is that it should be for the betterment of all the individuals of the organization while keeping the organization's achievements toward the advancement of its goals and visions. Goals are like visionary milestones. They are the fabric of the company's aptitude for achievement. They give boundaries employees and bring an interconnected nature to the group mentality.
