With a New Year just around the corner, here are some goal setting tips to keep in mind:

• Make goals meaningful. Goal setting for the sake of goal setting almost always ends in disappointment. Goal setting is simply a tool to use in achieving a favorable outcome — what some people call a “Dream.”
• Use positive language and the present tense when setting a goal. It is better to say “I weigh a healthy, trim and fit 185 pounds” than “I want to lose 20 pounds.”
• Always put your goals in writing. Every expert agrees that setting a goal without putting it in writing drastically reduces your chances of success.
• Goal setting should take place in every area of your life, including Health, Relationships, Spiritual, Career and Financial.
• Setting Life Goals will add dimension, excitement and texture to your life.
• Failure doesn’t always mean that you did something wrong in your goal setting or implementation. It may just mean that the time you allotted for success wasn’t adequate. A thorough review process should be undertaken before setting the goal again.
