Goal Setter Blog

If you are bored with your life or dissipate with the wrong crowd the best thing that can happen to you is to get fire in your belly to go after a worthwhile goal. But what could that be?

Do not despise your time of idleness. People who keep racing around do not have time to think. When they finally use their brain for themselves it is usually too late.

There are two types of goals you could go after. The selfish goals and the altruistic goals.

You could set yourself in motion to own that dream car you looked at in the past. It would make you feel on top of the world. You would be the envy of your neighbourhood. It would be the perfect status symbol. Problem is the moment you drive out of the showroom its value has instantly depreciated by 20%. Compare that with the interest on the car loan. The immaculate duco of your new set of wheels will almost become an extension of your body and you will become very touchy about potential dents and scratches.

Could you take up some vocational training and be more versatile on the employment scene?

Could you overcome this phase of depression, take a holiday, meet new friends, relocate in a new area?

On the other end you could search high and low for issues that resonate with you in an attempt to formulate a solution as your goal. Are there homeless kids in your area who could do with a bit of team sport instead of roaming the streets in mischief?

Could you build a granny flat or a guest room at your abode to cater for visitors and people you want to help?

Could you rev-up your business venture to provide employment for those willing but unable to work?

Could you invent some safety device to prevent another tragic death like the one which just shattered your life?

Could you impart knowledge or work as a volunteer to make a change in someone else's life?

Could you mind your grandchildren so that their parents could pay off their mortgage sooner?

A goal in itself is just a destination. The fun and challenging part really is the journey to get there.

So go on and do it. There is out there a goal just the right size and shape for you. Throw yourself into it. Claim your first achievement. Get set for a new one after that... Get the achiever's spirit in your blood.

Don't just wish for things. Make them happen. Goal Setter is an online tool to document and track your progress towards your goals while Wise Accounts is an online bookkeeping tool to manage your finances and forecast your cash flow.
