Have you written down your goals?

In 2014, I had various goals I wanted to achieve, however, I didn't write them down. I did achieve a few short term goals, but not a lot of long term goals. This year I took it upon myself to spend 3 days writing all my goals and pinpointing everything I need to change in my life.

Now it's quite easy to sit down and think about all the things you need to change and write them down, but it takes time to put it all in practice. Many people make New years resolutions and achieve them a few days or weeks into the New year, and fall back to their old ways.

It is quite difficult to change what one is accustomed to, change in general is not an easy task, especially positive ones. But it is doable. I would give you guys a few tips on how to write a practical goals and ways to fulfilling them.

I am no expert, I am just a beginner like you. Matter of fact I got most of these tips from Micheal Hyatt (google him), but I incorporated  a bit of my own idea to work better for me and I encourage you to do the same.

When writing a goal, avoid being too general, it is okay to be general when listing out the things you need to achieve, but after that step make sure you take time with each and expand on them.  For example, you can say "I need to save more money" that's general. Being specific is stating how much you need to save per month or per week.

Give it a time frame, If you write goals you want to achieve I say you give it a specific date and time. This works! when I was in the uni. I had a huge calendar on my wall that had specific dates highlighted in bold and a huge writing at the bottom stating when I wanted to accomplish them. I would write these dates down and read it to myself everyday when I wake up and before I go to bed. My friends will mock me and say I was crazy because of how dramatic it looked. At the end of the day it worked!

So I urge you today to write down your goals make sure they are specific and give them a timeline. That way you will definitely aim to accomplish them.

Hope this read helped someone achieve something today, what are you waiting for? go and start writing down those goals


God bless,

Single Failure, Multiple Treasures

she stumbled and fell, in the midst of her peers... They laughed and stared, as she struggled to raise her head ... They murmur and whisper Oh what a shameful picture She can’t rise up and face her fear Not even worthy enough to raise a cheer. She is a failure, can never be treasured She was as bright as gold, but never dared to be bold She is a hidden pearl, never broke out of her shell She is good for nothing... matter of fact she will never stand to be something. Tears rained down her eyes  She hated these lies Single lies without a worthy price She stood up with FIRE and yelled... LIAR. I am something, the Lord created me to be something I am a shining star, the Lord has brought me this far I have risen up; the Lord has filled my cup I fear nothing; the Lord has showered me with his blessing I am not a hidden pearl; I am his chosen girl. Her confidence created desire, desire to be like her Who is your Lord?  May we please come

Getting older way too fast..

The moment you realize you're actually getting older.. your priorites, thoughts and mindset starts changing up on you, telling you what you need to do, where you need to be.. gradually.., without even asking for your permission.. Like why??  I mean don't get me wrong I'm adjusting to it, the change and all, but make it stop.. I need more time, you know like backdated time, maybe like a yr or a couple more years.. cause.. I'm not ready..  not ready.. to grow up... YET...

Been very Busy!!! :(

So... I just got a new job, I know that's a good thing right?.. but imagine coming home everyday with sore feet.... yea that's a "No..No!!!!" I haven't been writing poems for sometime, due to my crazy shifts at work, and the little project I've been working on *can't say much* but y'all will get the hint soon... Hope you all like what I have so far.. I'm still young at this so stay with me and watch me grow.... your support is very much appreciated... Have a great day:-) Yours Truly, Helga
