We all set goals whether deliberately or not. At work your boss may set you targets to achieve, or you may look at the pile of work on your desk and set your goals by deciding what you will complete that day.

You may decide that you want to work to get recognised or promoted. However many people only set goals which are work or career related, where your goal planning is easy to measure success or otherwise.

There is also a need to set goals in your personal and social life. What sort of goals? How about one goal to achieve is to make sure that your family immediate and distant know how much you love and appreciate them before it is too late and they or you are gone forever.

A goal to wake up every morning with a smile and determined to make the life of someone else better because they know you.

'Gurus' and self improvement teachers get involved with telling you that your goal objective is to set mighty goals to have a sense of achievement. This is just not true and many people do not set goals because they feel they should only set lofty goals, and when you do not achieve your goals you feel a sense of frustration and failure and believe you will never make anything of yourself.

Your goals to achieve could be to learn to play golf, the piano or any other thing that you have been putting off through lack of time. Goal objectives do not need to be massive or complicated; they can be simple things that gradually change your life for the better, goals that keep you involved with what is going on around you every day.

For your goal planning, try writing down one thing that you would like to achieve that day. So it has to be a fairly simple goal to be able to achieve it in one day. It could be simply to write or to visit someone you have not see or heard of in a long time.

When you first construct a 'To Do' list of goals to achieve, it can go on and on to such an extent that you are frozen into non-activity just by looking at it. If you find writing a 'To Do' list frightening because you have so much 'To Do', try writing a 'Have Done' list at the end of the day, you will be surprised at what you really achieve each day, from making another person smile to clearing out your garage.

No matter what you have achieved that day, give yourself a pat on the back, feel pleased with yourself. When you have compiled your 'Have Done' list for a number of days or weeks, whenever you feel a little down with yourself get it out, you will feel lifted again just reading through your achievements, large and small, without the need to read a book by a 'Famous Guru' that can make you feel inferior.

In order to achieve your goals, large or small, there are techniques to help you achieve all of them. These are techniques that have been used by successful people throughout the ages and the beauty is that once you have been told what they are you can use these same techniques to achieve what you want no matter what it is.

You do not have to study a Masters Degree or belong to the intelligencia, you have to be you, just what you are, what you know and what you can do now.

Goal planning, goal setting and achievement are pleasurable things that give your life value.
