SET Planning a goal may seem simple for many of us. We decide what our goal is and we try to reach it without any thought about it. Many of us set a date to lose 10 pounds and hit the gym as hard as we can to lose the weight. After that date has passed and we have not seen any results we give up and forget what the goal was. Then there are people who set goals that are important to them and they do anything possible to successfully achieve them. This leads us to the first section of the book that is entitled SET. This section is all about setting your goals but before we can set the goals we have to know who we really are, why we want something, and what the right goals are for us. Many of us do not set the correct goals and that is the reason for not following through with them. There are many ways we can set goals and ensure we reach them. We will explore what it really takes to set the proper goal. We will learn who we are, what influences we have, what we really want, and set the goals which will lead us to ultimate happiness. Section Overview • Know Who You Are • Influences • How to be you • Want and Fail or Need and Succeed • Set Your Goals • Reflect On Your Goal Chapter 1 Know Who You Are “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Aristotle One of the most difficult tasks in life can be finding ourselves and what we want. The reason behind that is simple, there are many influences in life such as television, friends, and family that usually shape us into who we are. We can’t seem to find ourselves within ourselves and sometimes we do things for others. This creates a problem for all of us and the goals we set out for ourselves are not necessarily what we want, they do not work, or we just don’t put the effort in them the way we should. Finding myself was a lengthy journey, I was influenced by everything around me from actors on TV to friends and family every day in my life. Up until I turned twenty-five I was still confused as to who I really was. I was constantly trying to impress my friends and peers and worried about what everyone else thought of me. Currently I have been able to do what I want to do on my own terms. I have found out who I want to be and I don’t particularly worry about what anyone else thinks as long as I’m happy and it doesn't hurt anyone else. This includes how I live, what I eat, what music I listen to, how I spend my money, and many other miscellaneous things. I remember starting college. It was a time in my life right after earning my High School Diploma. The goal was simple “Graduate” little did I know the goal came from my peers and it was the wrong goal. I decided to go to school because everyone else thought it was a good idea for me. I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I wasn’t sure what to go to school for. I enrolled and started taking the basic courses and by the third semester I dropped out because I just wasn’t feeling it and I did not know where I would end up if I continued going.
