Are my Career Goals Realistic? Am I inspired by my goals? Can I achieve it? Let's answer a few questions to know how our goals in life can be crafted or realligned."
SMART Goals is Something Coaches Tell You.
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time Bound Goals is what you learn in Rs. 499 Seminars at Zoom. You watch videos of Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachan, Nadia Comenechi and so on. You get inspired and go high. You too belive that you can achieve all these. This motivation lasts till the next traffic jam in life. Goals you often set are based on what you have seen and learnt in life. You must have copied your neighbour, friend, some successful personality in a magazine or by getting inspired by video. Are you running behind what interests you?
Set A Goal That Interests You.
You might have a passion in drawing, writing, playing cricket or any other hobby. Have you thought about growing it up to a profession. Many people will be there to stop you. Parents are all set to see kids turning to engineers and doctors. Do you have the passion in you to become one of these professionals? Its a million dollar question? Is it for a status symbol that you are getting into it? Or is it a comman trend and you also get along with the rising waves. Many a times all these plans that are forced to you fail. Many inborn talents die due to pressure from family and other factors surrounding you.
Do Things That Make You Happy.
Go back to you childhood. Those days were happy days. As you grow older the smile in your face fades away. Today you are running behind money and fame. You set goals based on others. Stop that. Find out what are you good at. Take time to find it out. Some talents you posess may be know to others and not known to you. Some may be known to you and not to the rest of the world. Some will be known to others as well as you. Find this out with the help of your best friends as well as family members. Start growing the talent you have. Incase you haven't found try out different things. Don't worry about failures. You learn more from failures. So move on with your passion.
Do you beleive you can achive you goal.
Study well to get a good job. Study to pass the entrance exam. Study to become a Doctor ,architect is what you hear from many parents and elders.
So your parent's have inscribed goals in you. You have indulged into it. Now do you really like these goals. Do you beleive that you can make a great career out of it. If yes please go ahead. If you don't beleive it time to rework your goal. Time for parents to stop putting pressure on careers of kids. Many careers are go in vain because children go into areas what they are not interested in.
Dump your goals set by others and start to work on what you like. Any passion can be developed and monetised today. You need not study engineering to start an agro farm or study Accoutancy to become a You Tuber and need not study Biochemistry to become a writer. Nursing is a hot career choosen by many females. This is purely for going abroad and making money. I find many medical professionals who don't have a passion to their profession. Infact It is there in all professions. Time to start working on what interests you. Be Consistent on it. Success will follow you. Money will also follow you.
