“Ever more people today have the means
to live, but no meaning to live for.”—Victor Frankl
Everyone has goals in their lives.
Most people have their personal and professional goals while a few have social
goals. In order to find meaning to your life, you must have your personal,
professional and social goals and ensure that they are aligned effectively. Many
people are born and dead everyday but we remember great leaders like Mahatma
Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela to name a few
because they provided meaning to their lives by setting broad goals and working
hard relentlessly throughout their lives to build a better world.
There are innumerable advantages of
setting goals. Here are some of them. You can remove negative thoughts from
your mind and replace it with positive thoughts. Goals build positive attitude
and instill optimism towards life. They enhance your focus which many people
lack currently. Due to the rapid technology, people lead a complex and
uncertain life and they find it tough to focus. Therefore, goals help you set
your priorities right and straight, and stay clearly focused. They provide direction and purpose. We all are
blessed with 24 hours in a day and goals help us manage our time
effectively. Above all, goals provide
meaning to your life. Here is the process to set your personal, professional
and social goals and ensure that they are effectively aligned to bring
happiness and provide meaning to your life.
I have a personal goal to become an
educator and excel as an international leadership trainer. I am passionate
about students. I have a professional goal to build students as leaders. My
lifetime vision is to build one million students as global leaders. I have a
social goal to build a better world for global peace and prosperity. Hence, I
have become a professor and started to share my knowledge regularly with
students in the classroom and with executives in the corporate world. I also
write articles on leadership, executive education and coaching, and post them
in social media regularly. I interact with some of the passionate people to
groom them as global leaders. I want these global leaders to work for global
peace and prosperity. In this way, I have aligned my personal, professional and
social goals to make a difference to the world. Hence, you can also trifurcate
your goals as per your passions, and ensure that they are consistent with your
principles and philosophies to provide meaning to your life. Remember, you have
only one life to do all these things. Don’t procrastinate. It is now or
never! Jai Hind!
“What counts in life is not the mere
fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of
others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson
Mandela
