So, I have so much to be thankful for…I’m all smiles!
In the past, I have set goals for myself regarding my career, family, etc. I specifically remember my boyfriend and I having a conversation on this very topic. He challenged me to write down what I was looking for career wise. I knew what I wanted, and made the choice that day to create my mini version of a vision board.
My career goals were:
- I would like to continue helping families in the mental health field (improve, and strengthen their relationships with others)
- Advance in my career (first step: become a supervisor).
- Balance my work week with being in the office as well as meet with families within the community (So, I get to plan and organize, as well as engage with others)
- Have a flexible work schedule
- Not work any weekends or Holidays
I feel extremely blessed to say with confidence that I have now been working at a new position, that meets every one of my goals that I’ve set for myself career wise at this time. I didn’t believe that I would find such a position within the first year of writing these goals down initially. The most exciting thing about this is the fact that I believed in myself. I knew what I wanted, and went after this! I just didn’t know that I was doing everything I needed to do to help me reach my goals. Now I have that confirmation!
One of my besties, Chanelle, put me onto this Youtube video (Mastering The Art of Attraction). This video discussed how we each have the ability to reach our full potential. But, doing so all starts with how you are talking to yourself. You will attract like-minded people, you will attract the lack of money that you continue to complain about, and you will attract that job that you believe in your heart is right for you.
Ultimately, you have a choice in how you will respond to what’s happened to you.
This isn’t a secret. However, truly give this some thought…
My advice, is not to settle for what you do not believe in. If you’re unhappy, then change your thinking. Maybe even consider changing the people you’ve chosen to associate with. I know everyone in my corner speaks positively as often as possible. They push me to go after the more difficult decisions, and challenge me to obtain greater for myself. Also, write down what it is that you want for yourself. The more you do this, and communite these goals to others, the more you will continue to hold yourself accountable to them as well.
It feels incredible to get what you want!
What goals have you set for yourself, and what are you doing to make sure you reach them?
Much Love,

Great post! I do believe that sharing your goals with only those who won’t challenge your position as to why you want them, will hold you accountable when it comes to staying consistent with taking those small actions to help accomplish those goals.

I love this and I completely agree. When you really know what you want, right it down and keep working towards it you get there. It might not be right away and you might have to take a few steps back to make some large gains forward but you will get there! Congrats!

I think it’s a great idea to write down your career goals. I wish I’d done it years ago. I left it so late that by this point my main career goal seems to be, “Make it to Friday.”

Haha! That’s the most important goal overall. How else will you make it to Friday, without a game plan beforehand?!!
