Hello lovely people around the globe , accept my greetings. I have enjoyed this week of SEC so much that despite my busy schedule, i managed to make this fourth publication about goal setting. Here we go:

What specific goals did you set for the year? How have you worked to achieve your set goal?

Life without goals is dull and cheerless. For the ongoing year, I had some very crucial goals to achieve, and in the subsequent section, I'll discuss the goals that I have set, the ones I have achieved, and the ones I haven't. My goals are as follows:

Financial Stability: I was notoriously restricted from a job I was doing until 2021. I was working as a teacher, but due to some misconduct by certain individuals, I was terminated. Awaaz was going through a severe financial crunch, so achieving financial stability this year became a do-or-die situation for me. To accomplish this, I adopted multiple means, including upgrading my knowledge and skills in the medical field to secure a job. Fortunately, I was able to find employment as a pharmacist this year, which helped me achieve financial stability.

One lesson I learned from the financial crunch was to save money through wise budgeting and avoid unnecessary expenses. By doing so, I have been able to save some funds and even make investments, such as in mutual funds.

Resolving a Land Dispute: I have been involved in a land dispute with my maternal uncle for several years. This year, I decided to find an amicable solution to preserve our family relationship. I asked my sister to intervene and act as a mediator since my uncle shares a good relationship with her. She agreed to intervene and persuade both parties to reach an agreement. I also practiced respectful and open communication to avoid spoiling our blood relationship. Although the matter did not subside, and we had to seek the help of legal professionals, the case is currently ongoing. I believe it will be resolved by the end of this year.

Healthy Lifestyle: My lifestyle in my previous job, as well as my current one, has led me into a sedentary trap. Additionally, my lackadaisical approach towards activities exacerbates the issue. Although I have been trying hard to break free from this lifestyle, I haven't succeeded.

Last week, I purchased a treadmill to incorporate regular exercise into my routine through walking or running. Since then, I have been practicing regular walking in the morning and evening. I follow a schedule of 20 minutes of walking in both sessions at a speed of 8 to 9 Kmph. I have noticed many positive changes since then.

How have your goals impacted or will impact others?

---

My goals have a significant impact on my family and relatives. Therefore, I'll discuss how my goals affect others.

Financial weakness in previous years has emotionally, socially, and financially frustrated not only me but also my family. Now that a sense of stability has been achieved, stress has reduced to a great extent. As mentioned earlier, social humiliation was also a part of the financial weakness. I remember the times when shopkeepers were afraid to lend me food items, but now they do so happily.

Resolving the land dispute will definitely come as a sigh of relief for all of us. It has been a major source of disturbance in our relationship. Recently, the issue has started to be resolved, which has begun alleviating the emotional distress.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle has positive impacts on my health, which, in turn, affects the health of my family. It is a common fact that when someone in the family is sick, the whole family is disturbed.

How have you benefited from setting and achieving those goals?

---

Financial stability has helped me bring some positive changes in my life, such as reduced stress and better handling of economic affairs for both myself and my family. I have gained a higher social status compared to before. I am now connected to like-minded people and a team of professionals who have helped me learn many new skills and enhance my knowledge. I am now able to positively impact more people in my society. I am socially well-off now. Through my job, I have come into contact with people from diverse walks of life.

Resolving the dispute with my uncle would relieve my mental anguish and bring me peace of mind, relieving me of my stress. I hope to establish a better relationship with my uncle from now on.

Having a healthy lifestyle would promote good health, which in turn would help me fulfill all my personal and professional duties very well.
