Goal Setting

Greetings friends! Welcome to my participation in this week's accelerators contest, where I will be sharing my my views on goal setting with you as I attend to the hints provided.
What is goal setting? Explain. |
|---|
Goal setting is all about us deciding on what we want to achieve in the future while also putting in the plans to reach that achievement. This includes us thinking about the specific things we want to achieve, like getting better grades, improving our skills, or even our personal growth.
When we set a goal, it is required of us to break it down into smaller, manageable steps to make it easier for us to track our progress and stay motivated. For example, if an individual's goal is to run a marathon, he/she will start by setting smaller goals like running a certain distance each week.
The idea of setting goals is to help us focus on our efforts and give us a clear direction. It is like having a map to guide us towards what we want to achieve.
We have short and long term goals, how can you differentiate them? |
|---|
In the previous section I spoke about how a person who wants to run a marathon will first start by taking on shorter distances, right? Well, we can say these shorter distances are short term goals to achieving the marathon which is the bigger goal.
 |
|---|
Hence, short-term goals are those things we want to achieve in the near future which is usually within a few days, weeks, or months and they serve as smaller steps leading towards our bigger goal (Long-term goals), which are what we hope to achieve over a longer period, often taking months or even years to reach.
Therefore, short-term goals are like small checkpoints on a journey, while long-term goals are like the final destination. This is because the short-term goals help us make progress quickly and build towards our long-term goals, which are more significant achievements that take time and dedication to accomplish.
Which of the goals is the most important to you? |
|---|
For me, all of them are important but then the most important of these two is the short term goals. This is because they serve as the steps in a staircase to the long term goals.

In life, we can't just go from 0 - 10, we have to pass through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 before we can get to 10. Therefore making them the steps to getting to 10 and so is the short term goals.
Imagine you started a journey and the next thing you are already in the final destination, no u-turn, no check points or what have you. Exactly, the journey will be boring that's why we have short-term goals as they are there to make the journey fun for us.
Tell us about your short and long term goals in 2025 and how you intend to achieve them. |

We all have goals everyday of our lives either personal and on this platform as well and one common one amongst us all is to grow both in life and on this wonderful platform.
 |

Today I'm saying that my growth on this platform will always be an infinite goal for me as I see this platform as a life time opportunity. Although I've hit some difficulties recently that have led to me powering down and not powering up much lately, I still look to a lot of people on this platform like simon, goodybest, ngoenyi and kouba and it is my wish to be in such a position some day in the long run. I can only achieve such a feat by powering up consistently and so come 2025, I’m focusing on my short-term goal of powering up my Steem regularly.
I believe that by consistently increasing my Steem power, I’ll be able to achieve my long term goals on this platform and I know this will allow me to participate more effectively in the community and potentially earn more rewards.
To achieve this, I plan to set aside a portion of my earnings each week specifically for powering up. I’ll also engage more with the platform by creating quality content and interacting with other users better than I did this year, which I believe will help me achieve much more. Therefore, by staying committed to this plan, I’m confident that I’ll see substantial benefits in the long run and I'm excited to see how this approach will impact my experience on Steem next year.
I want to take this opportunity to invite @tripple-e, @triple-a and @ruthjoe.
Thank You for your Time
NOTE: Always have a smile on your face, as you are never fully dressed without one.
