GOAL GOAL………….

Goal Goal Goal,,,,,,,,Last few week the whole world was in the grip of Goal, the Football World Cup, and the ultimate results of any match comes from the Goal, added to the Goal was the Waka waka….which spelled such a magic that Goal and Waka, waka became synonymous with each other……but very few of us give that importance to the GOAL of our own life. Goal is always associated with GROW, example the list of winning team for World cup has Grown, two new team is added in the final and Spain is added in the list of winner. Now in our practical life “GROW” plays a very important role, GROW is an acronym standing for “Goal - Reality - Options – Will”

A useful metaphor for the GROW model is the plan we might make for an important journey. First, we should start with a map. With this, we decide where we are going (our Goal) and establish where we currently are (our Current Reality). Then we explore various ways (the Options) of making the journey. In the final step, establishing the Will, we ensure how much we are committed to making the journey and are prepared for the conditions and obstacles we may meet on our way.

Interestingly, goal commitment and difficulty often work together. The harder the goal, the more commitment is required. If we have an easy goal, we don't need a lot of motivation to get it done. When we are working on a difficult assignment, we will likely encounter challenges that require a deeper source of inspiration and incentive. That is why our Goal should be always SMART,,,,,,few day back, I have given a status in Face book regarding SMART,,,,,,,and many of my friends have given various definition, but only one friend have given the right definition “Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound” . In attaining our Goal we should always be Specific with a time frame (Measurable) and should be within our reach according to our capacity i.e. if a student of arts try to be Scientist it is not attainable, so Goal should be (Attainable), and above all realistically Relevant, not outdated, should suit the present day world. And the most important factor is (Time bound), Goals are set on a number of different levels: First we create our "big picture" of what we want to do with our life, and decide what large-scale goals we want to achieve. Second, we break these down into the smaller and smaller targets that we must hit so that we reach our lifetime goals. Finally, once we have our plan, we start working to achieve it, and then only we can say SMART GOAL along with GROW.

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, we can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. We can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. By setting goals, we also raise our self-confidence, as we recognize our ability and competence in achieving the goals that we have set, then only the real GOAL of our life we can achieve and dance to the tune of Waka Waka………
