Don't just have goals, have paths-oriented goals!

"People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going."- Earl Nightingale


Great ideas are never to be taken seriously unless it points to a destination. There too many great ideas out there and the fact that they are greatly being misused, they turn out to be great burdens on the supposed ecosystem of the world.

Goals. What they are.

There is usually lots of definitions you will find for goals and what they mean or should mean. We push to achieve our goals no matter what comes when we find that are goals are not being achieved, we get pretty hurt and mostly disappointed. But for those who have path-oriented goals, they keep going until they score.
I know there are lots of football fans here and what they do is to make sure they lend their utmost support to their favorite team and whether they win or loose, they stick with their team. It pretty much should be the same with life's pursuit.

Are there Arsenal fans here??? Yes, there are. (I am not going to gist too much about it, I am sure we all should catch the drift,) hehehe.


Be a Ronaldo if you have to.

In life, you must be determined as you are talented (or want to believe you are). Having a great idea is not enough. Investors invest in what they can see working and not what you tell them will work. You must be the one who takes into practice the full work scope of getting your ideas into reality.
In the game of football, the game comes first and no matter what happens, these footballers give it their all and will not stop competing until the final whistle sounds.

The game of life is much like the game of sports, there is always an opponent that either losses for you to win or wins for you to loose. We are mostly unaware of the competitive nature of life and everything therein. We think because we are alive is reason enough for us to win in everything we do.
That mentality is prevalent in everyone, but it takes the determined and forward thinking individual to grow beyond that and move to a pedestal where, they are aware the game is much tougher for the players than it is for the spectators.

Be responsible and live within that light, drop that false entitlement lifestyle that gets you no where. Responsibility makes the net of victory shake and dance.


Goals are not given, they are scored.

Goals are not given, you must score goals to have them read for you. Thinking of having your goal because you think you are entitled is the worst thing anyone will do to themselves. You must exhibit levels of responsibility to get a go at your goal.

Spectating is not what players do, players play games and then have the spectators boost their moral with diehard loyalty, songs, chants, rowdiness and most times hooliganism.
To win, step into the field of play, get hurt, get ruffled, fight like you are in a battlefield and then see what happens with your hustle.

Make clear cut plans to achieving your goals and do not settle for less. Show that there is nothing that can stop you from shaking the net. (Have you ever wondered why the goal post has a net? Well, wonder no further, just go and make it shake!)
The winning ways lifestyle states that, you must make your goals happen. So, go out there and shake the nets. It can never get too shaken enough.
To succeed in life, on Steemit, on the Blockchain or even in the centralized system, you must start with one simple process, "KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING" and arm yourself with your goals.

Remember, people with goals succeed because, THEY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING. Go somewhere!

indeed....my friend....Goal control us to move forward the correct direction :)

Okay.. This one is strong.. don't just have goals but path oriented goal.. I hear you on This one.

👌👌

Defining your goal is like discovering your purpose. And a purpose driven life is a life with direction with a predetermined destination.

I have noticed that If you do not have a predetermined destination in life, every bus stop i.e every point of stop becomes your destination.

Indeed setting goals and pursuing them is a hallmark to success.

Thanks for this one. We learning form you guys..

To set a target is the first step of scoring a goal. In life, it's pertinent to remember that to attain success, we have to be goal oriented and setting target is key.

Determinations and prayers help us to achieve our goals, even though there will be ups and down , but if you are determined , you will see yourself achieving your goals... nice post , I always learn from you

Great one Sir. Personally I made up my mind not to be a spectator in life. I'm a player and I play to win! I know where I'm going, my goals are set, and I'm ready to shake the nets.

It may be tough, but I'm giving it all I've got till the last whistle is blown

Thanks for sharing Sir

Exactly... @ejemai patterning your goals do not only bring you success, it could serve as a measuring point you could use in measuring your performance.. you are known as the best if you achieve you set (patterned) goals. it only takes efforts on our part. It's also true that going true life with a plan is essential and having a patterned goals is Tantamount...

goals are not given, they are scored..! nice one @ejemai. not having a goal is like a blind man looking for directions all by himself

From CR7 life, i learnt alot about not just having a goal but having and pursuing a path. We dont just dream because there are many dreams. We need to act on them

good quote for goals are not given, they are scored

We should create our way to reach the goal

@ejemai, thank you for this:

Great ideas are never to be taken seriously unless it points to a destination.

I've always told my team, no matter how fast you are on the wrong lane, destination will not be reached.

We all must know our PURPOSE and pursue it. Without knowing purpose, we'll always contribute to the wrong essence, then our goals in these wrong directions will be meaningless.

like @surpassinggoogle will always say:

Everyone has something to offer!

Go for it. Invest in it and Achieve it.

Yes sir!
Thanks for this post...
Really helpful

agree....goal give direction :)

The problem is, we have so many goal setter but only few goal getters. We all have big dreams and aspirations but only few gives it what it takes.

Because you have a beautiful goal and well cut out plans doesn't mean you won't meet the unforeseen circumstances on the road. The desire to overcome no matter the situation is what differentiate those with a goal and those who get their goals...

Sometimes life cuts you off at the knees and you need to accept all the goals in the world won't get you where you wanted to go.. but once that season ends.. back to goals it is!

Credentials: I'm a goal person. I got super sick with a serious fatigue issue that basically took out all of my twenties. But now I'm getting back on track :)

I love this part

Goals are not given, you must score goals to have them read for you

Scoring a goal isn't that easy, that's why when a player scores a goal the team celebrates with him. Same in life also, no one celebrates you unless you have done what others find difficult.
