goalsetting3 Setting Goals Based on Your Core BeliefsBefore you can set any goals for yourself you need to have a base of core beliefs that you live by.  And your core beliefs are based on the cause and effect of the things that happen to you in your life.  The way you feel will always be determined by an action that created the feeling.  When it comes to goal setting you need to have a positive outlook on what is happening around you so that you can make good decisions for yourself.

The basic underlying concept of core beliefs and goals is that if you’re not feeling and seeing the effects that you want to see you need to take a look at the reasons why.  Once you make changes to the conditions that are causing you to fail to reach your goals you’ll start to see the results that you want to see.  This means making changes to the conditions within yourself, and within your life, which are keeping you from moving forward.

There are some specific areas of your life in which you’re going to want to set very determined goals.  The following categories will help you to focus on certain aspects of your lifetime goals:

•    Mental attitude:  Your mental attitude should be positive so that there are no negative thoughts or mindsets holding you back.  Take a look at your behavior in certain situations and ask yourself if this was something that prevented you from reaching a specific goal. 
•    Your career:  Depending on what career you want, there will be specific goals that you need to follow to make sure that you have all your credentials at the end of your schooling.  Ask yourself what level it is that you want to reach in your career.
•    Family:  Setting family goals can be a bit more difficult than other goals because your decision will usually affect someone else as well.  You’ll first need to decide if you want to be a parent and if you want the responsibilities that come with parenting.
•    Financial:  Determine how much you want to be making when you reach a certain age.
•    Physical:  Determine if there are any athletic goals that you want to reach.  This can be as simple as staying in good health or as complicated as learning how to mountain climb.  What will it take for you to reach this physical goal?
•    Pleasure:  Make a list of things that make you happy.  Then make another list of steps that you can take to incorporate more of these pleasures into your life.
