The power of goals - Jackson (epub read online books .txt) 📗

An important belief that I hold myself to is goal setting. This belief has helped me to succeed in many things that I have faced. This belief has allowed me to understand that I will encounter challenges and need to have a plan to succeed in life. Goal setting is a belief that I work on every day.
Goal setting has helped me through many obstacles in life like school work and sports. In the first place goals have helped me to get through school by allowing me to realize what I have to do to succeed by earning good grades. Some goals I set for myself are getting my homework done on time and studying for tests. Additionally goals make it possible to meet the expectations that are set for me by the people around me. Making honor roll or scoring 3 times in my soccer game are goals I have set for myself. Furthermore goals allow me to succeed in sports by either working hard as part of a team or as an individual. Like when to pass the ball or take the shot depending on the situation. By using these beliefs I have succeeded in sports and school alike.
As I walked into the school this year things felt strange almost eerie. All the people and classes were new and different. They were all like blank spaces waiting to be filled. As I entered my first class I wondered what it would be like and how I would perform. During my first class my teacher asked us to have a belief by tomorrow. All night I was wondering what it would be. It took me forever then it hit me like a wave of cool water. My belief would be goal setting. The next day when I got to class I told my teacher that my belief was goal setting. She said it was a great belief and that it would help me a lot throughout the school year. As a result from that point on one of the main beliefs that I hold is in goal setting and the power it has to help my life.
In school I always remember my goals. When I wasn’t making honor roll and I set the goal to make honor roll in the last trimester. I did achieve this. Furthermore, I am now going into 7th grade but I set a goal the other day in math because I had a test. My goal was to score 100% and that’s exactly what I did. The other day I was sitting in class when someone came up to me and said you are doing great in school so far how do you do so well? I responded by saying that I set goals for myself and don’t give up until I reached them. In other words the reason that I am succeeding is that I set goals for myself.
To restate what I said earlier the belief in goal setting is a belief that I hold very closely to me. There is no doubt it has helped me through many challenges in life and has made me a better person. It has certainly helped me through 6th grade as well as many years of sports. There are also many other things that goal setting has helped me through and along the way it has made me a better person. All in all goal setting is a belief that I will always hold closely to me because of what it has helped me accomplish in life and also what others have accomplished in life using this same skill.
