Describing a Goal
A Goal is something you are trying to achieve and is a vital aspect within our life. Goals provide purpose, direction, motivation, commitment, and clarity about the desired outcome. Unfortunately, most of us do not engage in a deliberate and systematic process for identifying goals and a plan for accomplishing them. Elite performers do it all the time. Research has shown that goals and Goal Setting do influence performance. Setting and achieving goals does not have to be a burden; there is a method and a process to help you chart the way.
Properly applied, this process can add clarity and focus to what has typically been a challenging experience for many Soldiers, Family Members, and Civilians. When you link the tested principles of Goal Setting with methods developed in the Master Resilience Training (MRT) Course, you are on the way to releasing the inner you. Add Goal Setting to other Resilience Training skills to develop lifelong practices that will enable you to achieve your goals and to perform at your best. If done right, a goal-setting process will establish mechanisms that will have you “tripping over your goals’ each and every day.
