Goal Statement ExamplesI'm going to show some Goal Statement Examples to help you write your goals. But this should only be done after you've figured out what goals you want to reach. You can discover your goals by completing the 3 methods of goal discovery: brainstorming methods, Question and Answer life review and Visualization
After you have done each of the 3 methods listed:
brainstorming Question and Answer life review Visualization, review everything. Look for themes or trends. Find things that seem to repeat. Does there seem to be a common thread? Do many disparate things have something in common? Research? Religion? Risk? Family? Communication? People? Independence? Do you secretly have the heart of an adventurer? Is family the most important thing for you? Do you crave increased spirituality? Try writing down your mission statement, your life plan, your purpose in life. Wait a couple of weeks and go through these methods again using what you discovered the first time through. Each time you go through one of the exercises, you gain a deeper understanding of your self and your possibilities. Rewrite and refine your life purpose.
S.M.A.R.T. goalsSpecific: Do you know exactly what you want to accomplish with all the details?What, Where, How, Why.
Measurable: Are you able to assess your progress?How will you know if you're making progress or reached your goal? If you can't measure it, the goal is too vague. If you have a difficult to measure goal like "Improving my marriage" you need to make sub-goals of the different aspects of your marriage, and these must be measurable. Ex. "I will have a conversation with my spouse at least once a week about our financial goals to make sure we have the same priorities."
Attainable: Is your goal within your reach given your current situation?Don't set a goal of loosing 50 lbs. in one week. A goal of 2 lbs a week is more likely to be reached without becoming discouraged.
Relevant: Is your goal relevant towards your purpose in life?
Time-Sensitive: What is the deadline for completing your goal?A goal without a deadline is just a dream.
Now the hard part, setting real goals based on what you've learned. You should have some pretty good ideas after all the exercises. Set a goal for each area of your life. Be Specific and positive. Avoid words like "don't", or "stop". Be clear and concise. Include a deadline.

Health Goal Statement Examples:
A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
You can make these goal statements into Intentions to make them even more powerful. You will probably want to break down some of these down into a number of smaller goals. What steps do you need to reach each one? Complete college education? Save $10,000 this year? Complete the first 5 books of the Bible this year? Do this whole process at least once a year to keep on track and to adjust for your personal growth. You will grow and change as you reach each goal. Then create new ones. Personal growth never ends. Take these Goal Statement Examples and make them your own. Review them often. I encourage you to read more about Time Management to get control of your life.
