We usually see setting goals like writing new year’s resolution. Many people welcomed the year with hope, joy and excitement, where new year’s resolution were written down and often kept as secret. As the first few days of January gone by, and so did our new year’s resolution pile up year by year, and before we know it, we stop writing new year’s resolutions~ Take a minute, and think about it…
Where did our excitement go? What demotivated us? Could it be the external environment that made us gave up on our goals and dreams? Was it because someone laughed at your unreachable dream? Is it our own self giving excuses and stopping ourselves to change? There are many many factors, but in the end, it is YOU that matters! It is your holistic (physical, emotional and spiritual) self identity and your willingness to learn which will allow your breakthrough. There are no goals or dreams which are ridiculous as long as it is not harmful to anyone, so don’t let anyone take that part of you away! We have our thoughts and creativity, and that makes you unique~
Why is setting goals important?
It reminds us to be FOCUS and keeps us on track in life!
I have asked a few peers and seniors the following questions:
- How’s work? – It is either they enjoy and look forward to work every morning OR most of the time… conversations lead to traffic, economy, company politics and…..
- Do you see yourself working in that company for a long time? – Most of the time, they would change job after receiving bonus next year… Oopsss…. (sorry guys~ no names mentioned here… promise)
- What is your next plan? – Some would say specific tasks they want to achieve, however, there are many who do not know what to do but as long as there is a job, be busy, travel once in while and see where life takes them.
As I began to reflect, I often wonder what made us stop dreaming or setting goals when we grow older. Although I admit I am not thattttt old, I came to realize that I have stopped dreaming for a period of time, as I was caught up in the rat race of world success. I wish I could stop time, and one day I asked myself what do I want to achieve in life?
Many times, we are afraid of setting datelines, because we are afraid of not achieving them. Let’s look at another perspective, rather than taking fear which stops us from advancing, let’s take this fear to motivate us to be better and make sure we achieve what we desired! We need that push sometimes! Go to the gym, go read a book, go visit a friend~ Make sure we keep moving forward with purpose!

I believe with setting goals, this will allow you to dream and ideas will start flowing in~ Once you dream, remember to believe in it! Believing your dream will motivate you to go the extra mile and to achieve greatness in everything you do! The next part is the most crucial step, without it we can never reach our goals, it is called action!
Don’t get me wrong that we must be 100% in control of our life (there are times we are not in control), but we should learn to dance in the rain through the storms in life! Nothing is certain and many life events take place as we go along~ Most importantly to be able to enjoy life and end the race well when we no longer exist in this world…
Let’s start writing down your 100 goals today and I am sure you will be surprised that you are achieving them one by one! So, let’s not stop dreaming and do something awesome when we are alive!
