Requirements, Goals and Objectives
When you're setting goals and working toward their accomplishment you often wonder how high should I set the bar. In my opinion the best way to approach goal setting is to follow a simple rule that I've set out for myself. Goals really break down into three categories : first we have requirements, then objectives and then goals. But how we differentiate between them is most important, so when we think of requirements that's not optional, it's what you must do or be doing a year from now. You might say I must or require myself to earn at least $500 per month in order for me to continue the pursuit of my goals and objectives. The opposite end of the spectrum are goals, those are lofty desires that blow the roof off of any conceivable reality that now exists. You might say that I want to be earning $25,000 per month a year from today in order to support the kind of lifestyle that I want. But in the center of your life, what you consider to be attainable and measurable that with hard work you can attain, that's your objective. You say to yourself that at the end of a year I want to be earning $ 5,000 per month in order that you can quit your day job so to speak then that's what your objective is and where you need to measure your success against.

Nice blog. You can set your goals to what ever you want. The universe decides what you will do . If you set your goals to about 25,000 a month. You will make that or more. But if you say I am realistic, that I will make about 5,000 a month, and be happy with that. Then you will make just that. The universe only knows what you think or put out there and what ever you put out there it will come back to you that way. That is the law of the universe...it only knows the source of where it came from, and returns to where the source came from in that way. Dr Wayne Dwyer ( Author ) talks about this law.
Staying motivated requires a measuring point of some kind. This is a real way to look at the ideas we have.

Grandbudda, very interesting blog. I agree, that is is always a better idea to set yourself goals and aim high. Of course, goals can be changed if you realize after time that you have little or no chance of achieving them. It helps us all focus and stay motivated. Thanks for sharing
