Everyone in the history of humanity has had some sort of goal in life; something they have yearned to achieve. Just as we all have goals for ourselves, every person has a purpose in life, even if we aren’t completely sure what exactly that is. At this point in our lives, we are still young and have plenty of time to make our big achievements. However, that’s certainly no excuse for not starting to move towards what we want or to waste time not making a difference. We are young, but youth can have an impact and can take huge steps into what is to become.
A great way to know if you’re on the right track or are just wasting you time is to ask yourself questions. Here are a pile of examples for your pondering.
1. What is the biggest thing that you want right now in life? Is this realistic to what you will want in the future?
2. Are you doing anything to prepare for the challenges that you will have to meet in the future?
3. Is there anything that will stand in the way of your achievements? If so, what can you do to overcome it?
4. What are the financial implications of your goals? Do you need to start saving up now in order to be able to handle costs when they come into play?
5. How much effort are you willing to put into getting to where you want to be? At what point will you want to give up?
6. What factors are you in control of and which are up to fate and circumstances?
7. Will you be a hinderance to others during your working up to your goals? What can you do to avoid hurting those around you?
8. What is your capacity to be decisive and determined?
9. Does your goal pose any sort of moral issues?
10. Does your goal leave the world a better place? (Although cheesy, this one’s important. You really shouldn’t be working towards something that causes a negative impact on the world even if if benefits you.)
So are you on the right track to finding success in your endeavours? Just remember, you can never start thinking too early!
