S.M.A.R.T

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he
have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath
laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all
that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man
began to build, and was not able to finish.”
Luke 14:28-30.

In goal setting, there is something you must pay
attention to, it is called the S.M.A.R.T principle
for goal setting.

S stands for specific. In goal setting, you must be
Specific. Clearly write down what you want to be,
do or have.

M stands for measurable. Your goals must be
Measurable. What are you going to do every day
towards achieving your goal? For instance, if one of
your goals is to read the whole Bible this year, how
many chapters are you going to read daily in order
to achieve that goal? That makes the goal
measurable.

A stands for achievable. Goals should be
Achievable. Make sure the goals you are writing
down are something you should be able to achieve
within the speculated time.

R stands for realistic. Goals must be Realistic or
Relevant.

T stands for time-bound. Your goals should be
Time-bound. Set a deadline. In other words, set a
date you intend to see your goals accomplished.

Finally, I encourage you to follow these principles
pragmatically and you will be more result oriented.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You fill me with the
knowledge of Your will to always do the right
thing at the right time always, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.
