Good day and happy weekend, amazing people of the Hive blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. Wow, it is a new year, and I am so grateful for the gift of life. It is a new year, new plans, new decisions and new goals. It is that time of the year we set goals that will help us to be on track. Since the first day of the year i have been thinking and jotting down goals that will like to achieve before the year runs out.

Earlier this year one of my friends called via WhatsApp asking me about my goals for the year. I told him that I was still penning down my goals for the year. He quickly told me it is not about writing numerous goals; what matters is understanding my goals and keeping them straight. He told me the best way to achieve my goals is to use the SMART method. He really educated me on things I need to know before setting goals:
Don’t set goals that will put you under pressure; goals are meant to guide you and not the other way round. It is very important that we set clear and smart goals. If you fail to break down your goals in a way you will understand, there are chances that you will keep struggling with or without results.
This is the first time I am coming up with just two goals. I don’t want numerous goals; I just need a clear and smart goal I can achieve within the year. Over the years I have had numerous goals and at the end of the year am unable to achieve them. I promise myself that I am going to try my best to do follow-up on every goal I pen down this year because this year's goal means a lot to me.

Goals are like reminders to me; they set my mind and help me focus. For me, they keep me on track. Goals are that one thing that motivates and inspires you to do more.
Tips on how to set effective goals.
For one to achieve their goals, there should be a clear understanding about the goals. Take your time; understand things that motivate and inspire you to achieve those goals.
Break your goals down: don’t put yourself under pressure when it comes to goals. Break it down and carry it out bit by bit.
I don’t think there is anything that inspires me to do more other than celebrating every little milestone I achieve; no matter how little it may be, I try my best to celebrate it.
Make your goals SMART, which is a good goal, must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound.
Always go back and review your goals and adjust if-bound. need be.
I wish us all the best as you work towards achieving every set goal we plan to achieve this year, which will bring us blessings, open doors and opportunities. Best of luck.
