Real Achievement
Goal setting is all about planning. What your goal should be, how you are going to achieve it, when you are likely to achieve it, and the likes. But have we ever thought about what is there about our goal that we want it to achieve? Of course, satisfaction or fulfillment. But did you know that there is more to that?
Maybe some people would agree that aside from the goal we planned to achieve, there is a more important thing that we have achieved. That is, the experience we gained and the lessons we learned that made us grow more as a person. Don’t we treasure our achievement because of the hard times we went through because of that? When you receive your first ever salary, you would want to buy something for yourself. Let’s say, you bought a celphone, one that you really wanted to have and never acquired when you were a student, you would be very fond of it and would really treasure it because it represents your hard work.
In achieving our goals, we did not only achieved something we wanted. But we have also achieved something that cannot be taken from us. Those good or even bad moments that we would cherish just to succeed; our “downfalls,” where we learned to stand up; the friends we gained in our journey, and; our faith to ourselves and to God. What you went through will serve as an inspiration and motivator to other people also.
