Next time someone stands so close to you that they're fogging up your eyeglasses, try one of these evasive maneuvers.

How To Set SMART Goals In 10 Ways

10 Ways to Make Your Goals Easier to Achieve

Do you have goals in your life? Most people do. You may want to lose weight, advance your career, or make your relationship better. You think about where you want to be and then find a way to get from where you are to where you want to be.

In many cases, you fail to achieve your goals. Perhaps your goals were not realistic enough, or maybe you did not have the necessary skills.

Here are ten tips to help you set and then achieve your goals:

Enthusiasm & Confidence

It is essential that you are motivated to achieve your goals. You need passion and commitment. For example, if your goal is to give up smoking, then visualise how much more healthier you will feel when you are cigarette free. Think of a great pampering treat for yourself that you can pay for with the money that you save.

Try to develop confidence in yourself. There is nothing worse than thinking that you cannot achieve a goal. You need the belief in your ability to reach your goal.

Find ways to boost your self esteem. Talk to your friends and family. If your goals are realistic then they will tell you that you can achieve the goal. We all need help and support from others from time to time.

Steady Progress

Some goals are better achieved through gradual steps rather than a few gigantic and difficult steps. If you want to lose weight then try to lose a pound or two every week rather than aim to lose 14 pounds in 2 weeks. You will find that the gradual weight loss is much easier and more enjoyable.

Go from B to A

Most people visualize their goals as being somewhere in the future. They then plot a path from A, where they are now, to B, which is where they want to be.

Try doing the opposite. Visualize a path going from B (the future) to A (the present). Your subconscious mind will then make it easier for you to succeed in your goal.

Make Your Goals SMART

If you use the SMART formula, then you will have no problem with your goals. SMART is an acronym for:
Specific - What are you going to do, why and how?
Measurable - Find a way to easily measure the progress of your goal.
Attainable - You must be able to figure out how to attain your goal and have the necessary skills and ability to do so.
Realistic - Your goals must be realistic. You cannot win X-Factor, or American Idol if you have a lousy voice, so don’t even try to put that down as a goal!
Timely - Set a time frame for your goal. Can it be achieved by next week, next month or next year?

Have A Vision

It helps to have a vision about your goal. In this vision you imagine how you will feel when you have achieved your goal. How much better will your life be when your goal has been reached?

Sometimes it helps to create a picture that represents the achievement of your goal. For example, if you want to earn more money this year, then find a picture on the internet or in a magazine of something that you would like to buy - a new outfit, a new watch, even a new car. Use this image to focus your mind and imagination on your goal.

Take Action

Once you have established a goal, write down at least 3 action steps that will advance you towards your goal. Do at least one of these actions today. Don’t procrastinate.

Don't Lose Sight Of Your Goals

Write down your goals and look at them everyday to remind you of where you are heading.

Set A Big Goal

To make goals achievable using the SMART formula above, may mean that the majority of your goals are not that big. Losing weight, giving up smoking, getting a new job are admirable goals, but why not have a least one gigantic goal?

Here are some examples of gigantic goals:

Climb the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland in one weekend.
Go on a round the world trip.
Spend a year working in the Third World doing voluntary overseas service.
Win the X-Factor (but only if you have a great voice).

Identify Obstacles

Not all goals are achieved without something going wrong. You may want to cut down on drinking alcohol but a friend buys you a bottle of brandy for your birthday which calls on you to drink it. In the middle of your weight loss program your favourite aunt arrives with homemade cream cakes.

If you can identify what obstacles are likely to arise, then you can also work out strategies for overcoming these obstacles.

Create And Achieve More Goals

Once you achieved some goals, then this gives you a much needed boost of self esteem that will make it easier to achieve more goals.

Goals making is a lifelong process that gets easier as you gain more success.

Happy goal making!

How To Cope With The Death of a Loved One

The Funny Thing About Dying - A Story of Coping With Loss

I remember once as a kid someone fake-punched me in the nose. This older kid hauled off with his fist and pulled the punch just shy of ruining some great and prominent Italian cartilage in the making. Somehow I stood there without moving, but every nerve in the tip of my nose reacted in a way it had never done before, flaring up in a melee of electrical impulses, readying to deal with a rush of pain that never came, making my nose tingle and twitch.

“That’s the closest you’ll come to feeling what it’s like to have your nose broken without having your nose broken,” Older Kid said.

I was younger so I believed him, and for years I told people that I knew how it felt to have your nose broken. I was wrong, and recently I've learned a lot more about just how wrong I was. And this education didn't come in the form of a broken nose, it came in a phone call.

“You just don’t get it until it happens to you.”

This is the mantra of all who have suffered the tragedy of losing a loved one. When the father of one of my best friends passed away ten years ago I thought I got it. She was devastated. I couldn't figure out how to be devastated with her, but I did hurt terribly for her. I thought and thought and thought about the loss of a parent, and my thoughts pained, confused, and terrified me. I knew I didn't get it completely, but like my tingling nose, I thought I was close enough to say I got it. Nine days ago I learned I was not even on the same planet.

My mother’s name was Wilhelmina. After she married my father in 1950, her name quickly became Mom to five of us, and eventually Grandma to another five. She cooked and cared for us every single day, because that’s what mothers did in the 50’s and 60's, and because she loved it. She was a beautiful teenager, and she danced a lot when she was young. She took up bowling and card games with friends. Unfortunately, she also took up smoking.

In September of 2000 she was 74 years young, still beautiful, and was diagnosed with metastatic lung carcinoma. While no one was looking, the cancer had begun in her lungs and had quickly spread to her adrenal glands, and we found out about it too late. Instantly our family began learning definitions to words we had never heard before: Metastasize – intransitive verb - to spread in the body from the site of the original tumor by means of tiny cells transported by the blood. That’s the worst one. Once cancer travels, it often can’t be stopped. She was in stage four of four stages of the disease, and there would be no cure. One day you're complaining about the weather and the next day you're dying.

If you have no experience with cancer whatsoever then you are truly in a state of bliss. It has so permeated recent generations that we've all either known someone who has succumbed to it or learned what it is like through movies, books and TV. It’s a horrible, disgusting, insidious disease that slowly and inexorably eats you up from the inside out until your organs just can’t function anymore. It is your own cells running amok on you, growing without their natural "stop" signals until they take over everything in their path. We know a little bit about how some cancers form, like in the case of my mother and her years of smoking, but there is much more mystery than knowledge, and there is nothing even close to a cure yet.

So often there is great pain for long periods of time while people fight the losing battle. And sometimes there is almost no time at all, as in the case of my 28 year-old cousin, Joseph, who was diagnosed with lymphoma the day after Thanksgiving and passed away before the end of that year. At his funeral I thought again about how I understood what it felt like to lose someone so close. That was six years and a lifetime of learning ago.

“It’s time to come home,” my sister said on the phone ten days ago.

I had been living in Los Angeles for five years while my mother and father remained in Virginia in the house where I and my brothers and sisters grew up. I had been home just two weeks earlier to be with my mother for the appointment with the oncologist where we suspected we would hear the worst news yet – that the treatments she had been receiving would no longer help her and it was now nothing more than a matter of time. We were right. It was surreal to hear those words - you're painfully alert and powerfully numb at the exact same time. Somehow we got through the news, got home, ate dinner and slept. Somehow my mother guided us through those moments without panic. She breathed deeply and led the way, and we followed.

A few days later I had to go back to LA to finish up some work so I could come right back, called home a few times every day, kept my bags packed and thought about the journey we'd taken for the past 18 months.

We had been so very, very lucky since my mother’s diagnosis. We had been spared so many of the horrors of cancer treatment. She had fared very well and remained our mother in true form for the entire time. Happy, sad, positive, sometimes cranky. She lost the hair on her head but had no bad nausea. The wig looked fantastic and she loved to tell people how proud she was of the eyebrows she drew on every morning. Then her hair grew back and she seemed almost normal again. She went up and down, and we went up and down with her. She just...maintained, and with her leading the way, we somehow maintained too. We were all in love, terrified, and tensed up as if a freight train was headed right at us. And it was.

Mom died as I was boarding the plane for home. I got the call just before handing my ticket to the agent at the gate. And by the time I ended the call, my life had been changed forever. I was now in the category of those who Get It. It was nothing like I had ever imagined, and suddenly I knew that a broken nose felt nothing like a tingling one.

She really only had two bad days, was on the couch in the living room, was under very little medication, and just stopped breathing. My father was there, and so were my sister, her husband, and my mother’s older sister. I had spoken with her on the phone just the night before and told her I would see her the very next evening. She was alert and pleasant and very calm. In her last conscious hours she told stories and made people laugh. Then she just went to sleep on the couch and never woke up.

We keep telling ourselves we couldn’t have asked for anything more peaceful, more comforting. Somewhere inside we all know this is true, but we just don't buy that yet.

The funny thing about dying is that nothing else has that kind of power to obliterate everything else in your life in one instant. I now understand the hanging heads of those people who have just lost someone – they’re staring at the ground where everything in their life has fallen and shattered into a billion little pieces. Saying "nothing else matters" is like saying "water is wet," or a punch in the nose hurts like hell. It’s a no brainer.

Like everyone, I live in the post September 11 generation where the term "devastation" is tempered by a new reality. Just like that fake nose punch, “tragedy” was something that always came close but never quite happened to us in quite the way it did until that day when we lost thousands in mere minutes. In one morning tens of thousands of family members suddenly Got It and suffered a shocking loss that is beyond my comprehension, and my mother’s 18 month slow and mild decline seems like a blessing by comparison.

It was nothing like losing someone to a drunk driver, or a mugging, or some other random act of horrific tragedy. Imagine the family of Kevin S., 8 years old, who was playing in his front yard in Virginia one spring morning in 2000 when a man with no connections to his family whatsoever hopped out of his car and stabbed the boy to death. Imagine. On second thought, forget it. It’s impossible to imagine what that family went through. How were we so lucky?

But here's the rub – it defies that kind of intellectualization. When it happens, when you lose someone like Mom, however you lose her, it cuts right through any rationalization, any comparison, any desperate modesty or “but it’s not as bad as…” It punches you in the gut and your brain has no comeback. It just plain sucks, and by hearing the news you have signed a contract to lie down and be trampled by large animals for a few days. Or a few weeks. No termination date is specified.

However, then come the hugs. The best thing about dying is the hugging. There are lots and lots of hugs in the days and weeks after your mother dies, and it’s hard to find something wrong in a hug. The most potent hugs come from those who have also lost someone – those who were over there beyond the great divide with all of the others who Get It, until you were handed your express ticket to join them the instant you heard the news. Those hugs come with no dialogue - no well intentioned but heavy words that aim to comfort you but somehow hang over your head like a muffled musty cloud with all the other numbness that blankets you. Words that come from the heart of those who, blissfully, don’t yet Get It. Words that are no match for the looks in the eyes of the others who know. Those silent hugs are the best.

They're not easy, though. Especially when they come from your brothers and sisters who were plunged into this strange and frightening new place the same moment that you were. Or worse yet, your father, who just lost his partner in the creation of you.

The worst thing about dying is the hole. The space that is suddenly and forever left open, that grows, shrinks, deepens and yawns, endlessly mutating as you move through the days of your new life. It is a journey of endless discovery, morphing perspectives, exhausted emotions and lots of falling into and climbing back out of the hole.

It’s painful, yes. It’s ugly and hard. It sucks. And yet, somehow, it’s also... good.

The silver linings are plentiful. My family spent so much time together in the past ten days that we can’t remember our lives apart anymore. Maybe that will change in time, but it feels like this closeness is going to define our futures.

And with tension comes release. Just hours after the funeral service, after all the guests left the house and the food that was generously prepared by friends was eaten, we sat around and quietly started talking. My Mother loved casinos and bingo and lotteries, so my brother brought down a lottery ticket for her but, like me, didn’t arrive in time. So he placed the lottery ticket in the casket with her forever. "She always said if she ever won she was keeping every penny to herself," my sister said, and the laughter began. Laughter like warm socks from the drier on cold feet. Laughter that unwound the rubber bands inside each of us and let us collapse into a puddle of relief. We laughed for hours acknowledging and embracing the family that only my mother could have created. We laughed because we missed her and wanted her to know that we still could laugh. We laughed because, at that moment, nothing was more beautiful than seeing my father laugh.

Days later we were still together, still doing errands together, still cooking together, still sitting around the table and talking together, still ignoring the rest of our lives together. And still learning what this was all about, together. That education is only just beginning, and deep inside we all know that there will be no graduation. There is no eureka, no cure. I’ve heard it said that life after losing a loved one is constant adaptation. I think, eventually, I’ll get that one too.

Yes, Mom's gone, but she's also out of pain. Yes, we miss her, but she's also right here in our hearts and memories and in our very cells. It's a game of ping pong between pain and relief, sorrow and happiness, confusion and resolve, and this game never ends.

And that's the key right there - the funniest thing about dying is that it’s not final at all. My mother is here in the room with me as I type, telling me to stop obsessing and start cleaning the kitchen for crying out loud, and to get on with my life. I say to her that I’m nearing middle age, single, and how will I ever explain her to the next woman I bring into my life? She doesn’t respond to that one but instead just vanishes, leaving that big, fat, gaping hole and I am punched in the gut one more time. Her serve.

Then I get up and start cleaning the kitchen, and I get on with my life. Because that’s what we do. There’s a giant pile of life out there waiting to be jumped in to, and the clock is ticking. Remember, I tell myself, you still don’t know what it feels like to have your nose broken. There’s a good one for the "To Do" list. I think I’ll put it down at the bottom, right underneath "Get through a day without thinking about mom."

And that makes my nose feel pretty secure.

How To Choose the Right Path

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:29:27 GMT

Choose the Right Path

Making a choice

What do you do, when you do not know what to do? Perhaps, you do nothing. But such inaction may be unhealthy and even suicidal. Someone said, “The only thing for the evil to triumph is the good should do nothing”. Many people have been in such a dilemma many a times in their lives. You may be one of them.

You can succumb or compromise to such a dilemma like most of the people and thus failed to become what you are capable of becoming-the person God wants you to be. You can be also among the few people who chose to achieve breakthroughs and used their potentials to the fullest making a difference. We called them winners. Now it is your decision to choose. The good news is you can always make a choice to be a winner.

If you have chosen to be a winner yourself, you need to make a move smartly and cautiously. You can make a smart and cautious move if you have a workable strategy. You can have a workable strategy only if you have a vision. So it is essential to study some area of your life and environment and also re-evaluate and re-introspect them.

Knowing who you are

Just look at the wonders around you; the twinkling stars, the moon that ascends the sky each night, the Sun that rises every morning, the unfailing seasons, the plants and trees in the hills and valleys, the fishes in the water, the air that we breathe and envelope us, and so on and so forth. Isn't it amazing the way God has designed, regulated and kept in force all in perfect harmony? All the things both living and non-living working together harmoniously is an enough evidence that there is a Creator. Nothing happened by chance. You are not an accident. You are special and a unique creation of God. So also any person you know.

Humans have been distinctively endowed with particularities and shaped uniquely. Consider the uniqueness of the fingerprints. No two people on earth are alike. Look at us, some are white, some black, others brown and yellow. We are like flowers in varieties in God’s garden and each one of us is wonderful to Him.

You usually do things according to how you are shaped physically, mentally and spiritually. Therefore, it is very important to know why you are shaped uniquely.

Understanding the Purpose

You have been shaped uniquely for a purpose God has planned. When He created the first man and woman, He blessed them to be ‘Fruitful’’. The same blessings holds true for you today. He wants you to be fruitful (by right living) and grow up physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. When you multiple your potentials and live well, it brings glory to Him. It said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven”. He takes pleasure in seeing you grow and shine.

The idea is, anything that is good, helpful and brings glory to God is worth the purpose and worth living for. So, you have to strive to be fruitful in whatever you do. Here, the means is as important as an end. Somebody said, “The greatest achievements are those that benefit others”. You have not grown up as long as you are the only beneficiary of your purpose and resulting actions. It should also benefit beyond oneself.

When you have this sense of belonging and ownership in the welfare and destiny of mankind, God is delighted and you fitted well in His Plan.

Then, what particularly do you have to choose, to do, in order to utilize your potentials to be fruitful? You can called it a medium, way, career, profession, types of job, employment or anything you can be good at, which may even become a basis or source for your daily sustenance or livelihood. In a nutshell, what are you called to do to be fruitful?

What is your calling?

You must prayerfully consider your calling. There may be numerous ways to find out your calling but one good way is to analyze your responses towards situations, things or people in your day-to-day life. You will find that you are responding, or challenged, according to your interest or the way you are shaped.

Finding out what you are interested in is the first step to identify your calling. Doing or willing to do what you are interested is the following step. You may be interested in watching movies but you may not be interested in directing or acting in one. So, the question is, do you enjoy doing what you are interested in?

If yes, then are you good at it or is there a good possibility to enhance your potentials? If the answer is yes again, then that is, perhaps, your calling. Having understood your calling, always abide by it.

Sometimes, along the way, you may start to feel that you are not interested anymore though you are good at it. Such a thing could be temptations or probably you have been sincerely wrong in your earlier choosing. It could also mean that what you have been doing is preliminary to ‘something more’. So, when you encounter such a situation, prayerfully consider it, and also re-evaluate and re-introspect them again. Whatever, do not lose heart, you can always make a choice to be fruitful and be a winner.

However, life is full of surprises. If God intervenes in whatever forms amidst all these, just trust and allow Him to lead you on. Let Him have His way.

Make a strategy and just get started

Now, just think big, you are special and your calling is wonderful. Form a vision, a long-term goal, a dream you wanted to achieve or attend as you go ahead with your calling- a catalyst, which is going to make a difference.

Then, its time for a smart and cautious move so make a workable strategy patiently. Refine your temperaments, acquired skills and qualities, gather your resources, survey the avenues, and opportunities (or create one). Do not think of the problems but solutions. Nobody is immune to problems; even the Lion has to fight off flies. When it is set, just get started by moving out of your comfort level. They say, ‘A cat in gloves catches no mice’.

Moving out of your comfort level means exposing and stretching yourself to the way of fruitfulness. You are most vulnerable at this stage. A rubber band is effective when it stretches, though most vulnerable at that stage. It is of no use if it does not stretch. You are effective when you expose and stretch yourself.

Many people with potentials rots in obscurity because they were scared to make the first move-the first step to be a winner. Perhaps, they are scared to fail. They will never make it unless they move out of their comfort level. Do not be like them. You can do it. You never know what you can do till you try. So just do it.

Stay on the course

Having started, keep going. You will see no results unless you stay on the course. You have to steadfastly pursue your calling in the manner you have sorted your strategy. Listen to what Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest statesmen of our time, has to say about staying on the course. He said, “I am a slow walker but I never walk back”. No wonder, the world knows him as the man of God. You are commanded to ‘fight’ because fighting is winning and quitting is simply losing. Remember, you have made a choice to be a winner.

God is not MIA

And while you are fighting, more often than not, you may grow tired and weak, and be tempted to give up. So, you would look around for strength and find God to be nowhere. You cannot feel Him anymore. “He appears to be Missing-In-Action (MIA) in your life” like Rick Warren, an influential spiritual Counsellor describes it. Then, just remember His promise, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. God is just there no matter how you feel and think.

Be a man on the camel

The other thing that can stop you from fighting or keep you away from the course is people’s negative opinion. You can call it criticisms, poisonous rumours or even deathly accusations. Let it not effect you because a barking dog cannot harm a man on a camel. You know your purpose and calling, greater even, you have a vision. Ride on your vision. Be a jockey.

Bruce Lee, the martial arts legend, in one of his films ‘Enter the Dragon’ made an impression to a young student (in one of the scene) like this, “…when you point your finger at the sky if you concentrate on your finger, you will miss all the wonders of the heavens…”. This is focusing on the vision. So, at the end of the day let the impression be “Dogs bark, but the caravan goes on”.

Be flexible

Theja Meru, musician and youth activist, once remarked, “Blessed are the flexible, they shall never be broken”. Being flexible does not mean compromising your cherish values and integrity but being open-minded about things, situations and people-openness to criticism, correction and willingness to learn new things along the way. It also mean to be able to adapt to new things, new situations or even new goals and thus, drastically changing your lane if it has become a question of relevancy. As such, ponder over it. It is essential. But be careful it may be a temptation. Whatever, since you already knew your purpose you will know what to do then.

Shout Hurray!

The word ‘Hurray’ is of Latin origin, which means ‘to ’. The crusaders during the Holy War were made to believe that if they die in the campaign, they would go straight to paradise. So they shout Hurray as a war cry. Let the shouting today mean you that you are going ‘to achieve’ your dreams and enable you to live your vision. So whenever, you are timid and scared, remember His promise of not being MIA and shout ‘Hurray!’ at the top of your voice. We are looking forward to see you achieve your dreams and be part of your vision.

Now, roll up your socks and strike your best foot forward. Hurray!
