1. Purpose of goals…… “Without goals, and plans to
reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.”
• Our goals and daily
behavior should be based upon our values
• Goals are the basis for our decision making.

What Did Melinda Mae Want To DO?
Long Term Goal• To eat a whale
Short Term Goal• Took little bites• Chewed very slow
• Takes more than 1 year or all your life to reach; but generally, accomplished in one year or more.
For example: graduate from college, become a pilot, lose ___ pounds, etc.
• Achieved quickly and accomplished within one year or less.
For example: finish term paper, wash dishes, mail Christmas cards by Friday, etc..
• The only difference between the two types of goals is the length of time they take to complete.
• Long term goals are easier to achieve if you have set short-term goals.

The Bumblebee Cannot FlyAerodynamically, the
bumblebee cannot fly – and yet it keeps flying!
The bumblebee’s body is too heavy and its wings span too small –
But, the bumblebee does not know this, so it goes ahead and flies anyway.
Every accomplishment – big or small – begins with the belief “I can!”
3. Identify the Obstacles you may need to overcome.
-Don’t let you get in the way of you!
* Write down 2 obstacles
4. Identify the Resources available to help you reach your goal.
-skills, knowledge, people, stuff * Write down 2 resources
Resource hunt

complete the goal.

about it again, you will not reach your goal.

Three Types of People When it Comes to Setting Goals. . . .

my ax”
Abraham Lincoln
There is very little difference between mediocre and greatness.
• The boiling point is only 1 degree different than very warm water.– The difference is tremendous. Steam can power
many things.• The difference between a race horse that wins
first place and a second place is often fractions of a second.
