Go For The Goals.

Last week I discussed keeping a positive thinking mindset and the difference it can make in your life. Thinking positive is being positive. With a positive mindset, you realize that every situation you face, every encounter you make is an opportunity to grow and become better. It is a door opening and chance to learn and experience, whether good or bad. These things will allow you to make small steps to the ulitmate goals in your life.

With these thoughts in mind, set goals for yourself. Everyday we are getting older and have to focus a lot more on the future. What is next? What things do I want to accomplish? When do I want to accomplish these things? As a senior, these are the things that are constantly on my mind. What is next after I graduate from Bowie State? Do I want to go to graduate school immediately? Who do I want to work for? What do I want to do? Who do I want to do these things wtih? Its overwhelming thinking about so many different things. This week I focused on organizing my thoughts. First, think about what you know. I know that I love public relations. I know that I would be okay with moving from this area. I know that I do not want to work for someone for the rest of my life, and I know that I want to be financially stable and happy. What do you know about yourself?

Though these things are sort of general, they are actually important. From these things I can start to set small goals for myself, conquer those goals and set new ones. Eventually the goals will get greater and before you know it, those small steps and small goals become big steps and big goals accomplished. By taking those small steps and accomplishing them, I am building confidence that I can reach those bigger goals.

Long story short, small goals turn into big goals, accomplish them all.
