Goal setting and how to balance it with your life?

Every personal goal you set can be evaluated in terms of the following 4 parameters:

1. Money = how much money you think will be sufficient to lead your life comfortably?

2. Ego Food = self esteem achieved through the work you do and the success you achieve

3. Love = family, wife, kids. Don't ignore this important aspect of your life. This is what is meant by attaining a work life balance.

4. Health = whatever you set out to achieve should not take a toll on your health. Take steps to keep yourself in good shape and good health.

In order to achieve your goals, you also need to consider the following:

1. Desire - do you have the desire to achieve the goal?

2. Ability - do you the ability i.e. skills, qualification, strength, etc?

3. Human Relations - do you have the emotional capacity to handle the emotions of family, friends, colleagues as you move along the path to achieve these goals?

Goal's for life could be based on a momentary spur, but poetry vanishes once we are responsible for family eh :)

Yes we can laugh about it. But that is the exact point - your goals need to be re-aligned with what you want to achieve for yourself and the family. Carry them forward together - a common purpose. Poetry will reappear but you just have to be patient.

Funny that I was thinking about this recently. Modern Day success is measured by one's richness - a uni dimensional measurement of one's wealth. Richness in experience, richness is varied skills/vocations, richness in number of well wishers, richness in being wholesome ..etc are not even considered by many to be part of measuring one's success. Phew!!!!
