Success & Goals

Some say "Failure is the stepping stone of success"...some say "Nothing succeeds like success"
But what is success....is it getting richer, famous, and be able to do what one wants to do...? Sometimes, success is seen in relative terms..if one has more money or higher position than one's friends, relatives, colleagues, contacts...he/she feels successful. But if you notice, this feeling is a temporary feeling. However, when one sets goals, works towards them against all odds and finally meets them...it gives immense satifaction.

Success is about meeting your own goals you have in your life. It is about running your own races..rather than another man's race. You can claim yourself to be successful if you have achieved the goals you have set for yourselves.

So, it is important that all of us know how to set goals for oneself. One could follow the following process while setting goals:

1. Goals should be very specific with respect to what one wants to achieve in personal front, work front, financial front. One should try to define it to the last detail. For instance, if one's goal is to get a new job...one must define exactly the kind of job, location, position, probably company as well
2. It should have a specific timeframe.eg. I must find that specific job in the next 2 months
3. Once one knows, the specific goal, he/she should set list down the action items one has to do achieve them
4. Start acting upon your action items
5. Review this goal every morning...while praying to god..or just set aside 5 minutes everyday
