Stop procrastinating! Save time and money by setting GOALS according to your life's purpose with Guidelines on Achieving Life Success. Learn how to set GOALS, implement them and achieve them with GOALS Guidelines on Achieving Life Success!

Students nationally and internationally and from all ethnic backgrounds have dreams they desire to see come true. They have ideas and possible goals but just do not know what first step to take. GOALS was written for students who not only desire to talk about their goals but have a passion to reach them as well. In GOALS, educational and motivational speaker Lakeisha provides the truth on how students in high school and college can set goals that are achievable. These goals can save them money as well as time for seeking training for career they may not be excited about in their later years. Students who are struggling with their goals while in college will be able to make proper adjustments with strategies included in this book as well. GOALS reveals the key ingredient to savings for those who desire to receive college and/or vocational school training. After this key ingredient has been revealed to students, they will be more confident in themselves as they make life choices and be anxious at getting started with setting their goals. They will be amazed, after reading this book, at how they are able to make wiser choices that would allow them to have a life they will enjoy. A quick snapshot of the book’s content includes the following: discussion on destiny (life purpose), obstacles to goal setting, a definition and description of goals, the guidelines to setting achievable goals, and the help that is available to students who strongly desire to achieve their goals. In the book, readers would receive an understanding of how they must get a solid understanding of what their life purpose is. This initial step may take some time for some students. If a student receives a good grasp of this, they would be able to save themselves time and money. There is no need to rush into a career that they will not enjoy in their later years. Life is designed not only to learn lessons as we endure life struggles, but also to enjoy all that has been created. Every person must work to bring in an income. While bringing in an income to take care of responsibilities, each person deserves to be rewarded. Our actions should not only help others, but to be a blessing to ourselves and our families. Once an understanding of one’s life purpose is obtained, it is important to receive a glimpse of the possible obstacles that may arise as a result of trying to be productive. Whenever you set out to embark upon a mark, every person needs to count the cost. A good look needs to be taken out what the total scene looks like. The total scene includes inward and external problems. In most cases, most of the obstacles are within us. We block our own success because of our thinking and habits. These concerns are addressed in the book along with external obstacles. After a person begins to improve themselves and tries to rid themselves of external obstacles, goals can now be understood and analyzed. In GOALS, a description is given of what goals are, who can set goals, and the many types of goals that exist. All people have goals, whether they are properly considered and implemented or not. The readers are given the top guidelines on how to construct goals and ensure that they are reached. Students who are serious about carrying and setting achievable goals can opt to receive help through professionals who can work them one-on-one. The one-on-one helps guide each person on the road to success. GOALS concludes with an example of a goal observed in each guideline stage and an opportunity for readers to write out different goals for their lives.

 

 

 

 

 




Excerpt



Chapter 1
What Is Your Destiny?


Destiny is not a matter of chance; but a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

—William Jennings Bryan (Moncur and Quotationpage.com, 2009)



What is destiny? It can be defined in many ways. However, for the purposes of this book, I will use life purpose to describe destiny. Life purpose is defined as what you were created to do. Life purpose is your ultimate reason for existing. If someone or something exists, then it has a purpose. A TV was created to aide with mass communication and entertainment. A house is created to provide shelter to people. People are created with a purpose as well.
During our teenage years of human development, a male or female may be exploring or are in search of their identity. As a teenager, your question may be why was I created? or what was I created to do? That is a very good question. This is a crucial time in your life. It is very important that you seriously begin to think about your purpose. When you graduate from high school, time is going to fly fast. You are then going to wonder where all of the years have gone.

It is important for you to know that as you seriously search for your life’s purpose, it will be revealed to you. In order to get you thinking about your life purpose, let me ask you a question: If you were to go to sleep and were to wake up having all of the money and resources you would need to accomplish something great and that you have a passion to do, what would that accomplishment be?
