Set your intentions

“Good intentions are not enough. They’ve never put an onion in the soup yet.” Sonya Levien

Once you see clearly through those misty mornings, the fog is over . You have no excuses but to set your intentions. Those intentions will define who you are, your future self. If you are going to stay still or upgrade. This is up to you.

What is your goal ? What does it mean to you ? How far do you think that you own your goal ? Or are you part of someone else’s goal ? How far is it fulfilling to you ? What things would like if you achieve your goal ? Answer those questions honestly.

Is it enough to set intentions ? Of course not . Is it enough to set a goal ? Certainly, not. As a goal should have some characteristics .Your goal should be SMART. You may ask what does this acronym stand for ? Here is the answer my friend . S stands for specific, your goal should be specific , clear and well-defined ,which means that it has a greater chance to be accomplished. M stands for measurable, that is it we could measure the progress you make so far towards the accomplishment of your goal. A stands for achievable that you set a goal that you can attain or achieve like buying a car/ a house, getting a job or enrolling into a course… R stands for realistic , that is something that you can reach given the available resources and time. T stands for time-bound that is within a clear time frame ,this means that your goal has a start and finish date.

Now You get the importance of having a SMART goal because claiming “ Yes, I have a goal in my life .” Or “ I want to achieve this and this.” And stay in your couch dreaming of achieving that goal; losing weight, getting that promotion, having nice and trendy clothes, winning that competition or getting that boo written … Are you kidding ?

Action baby. action ! Set an action plan , monthly, weekly and daily. Divide your goal into baby steps to make things easier for you. As the small wins will encourage to move forward and go further . You are building it brick by brick and this is a winning method.

Remember that a dream without action is a mere wish. To own your dream you have not only to set clear intentions , you have to transform it into a SMART goal , design your action plan . Own your story and start now !
