Lesson 11

Goals For The Future

As we go through the journey of
our life, we try to figure out the things
that we want to have in the future and
the things serve as our goals.

In every aspect of our life and in every
step that we make, we should have a
goal in order for us to be successful
someday. But it does not end there. For

us to be successful there are certain
things that we consider in setting our
goals. One of them is being realistic. The goal should be achievable and
the resources should be available. Next, we should make sure that it is

the best not only for our life now but also, for the future. It should be within
our capabilities and of course, the most important one is determination. In
addition to that, we also need to be a positive thinker in relation to achieving
it so that it will give us the motivation in reaching our goal. Sometimes, we

encounter failure, which is unavoidable; let us just look on the brighter side
of the situation to give us the courage to pursue it.
