LEARN TO WAIT FOR WHAT YOU WANT

Calculated and Strategic Patience is key to self fulfillment. Always learn to wait for what you want by Thinking Smart.

S.M.A.R.T is an acronym of five basic criteria that can help you set clear goals. They will allow you stay grounded, think in practical terms and steer clear of wishful thinking. Therefore, what you want should be:

*SPECIFIC - Don’t be generic about your goals. Ask yourself what you really want, why you want it, who can help you get it and in which way.

*MEASURABLE- Let your goals be quantifiable and stick to them. Avoid setting goals that are extremely verbose.

*ACHIEVABLE - Be realistic about your goals. If you want to become a millionaire or marry a princess, the odds could be against you. Stick to goals that you know are within your reach.

*RELEVANT- Ask yourself whether what you want can make a difference to other people besides you. The relevance of your goals to making an impact in society is a must.

*TIME-BOUND- Make an estimate of how long it can take for you to reach your goal. Then set deadlines for smaller goals on your path that can help you achieve the main goal in due course. For example, if you want to become an actor, you can give yourself two years to get an audition, three years to have a speaking role and five years to achieve the final goal before moving on to something else.

Good morning.
