Hello beautiful people. We all have dreams and aspirations, things we want to achieve or become in 2025. But let’s be honest—sometimes, the idea of reaching those dreams feels overwhelming or even impossible. 

Don’t get me wrong, it is very good to set goals, but as January is coming to an end, can we go back to the drawing board and break down those goals into shorter timeframes?

 Half-year, Quarterly, Weekly, Daily, and even Hourly. This way, every step you take brings you closer to your ultimate goal, and you’ll stay focused and motivated throughout the journey.

How do we set attainable goals? 

✅Be clear about what you want, as clarity helps to give your goals a tangible form. E.g, you can say “ I will take XYZ Professional course in 2025 rather than saying I want to succeed in 2025. 

✅Break down your big dream as every big dream is achieved through small but consistent steps. 

✅Make them realistic by striking a balance between ambition and practicality. 

✅Stay accountable as it keeps you motivated and gives you a support system to fall back on when challenges arise. 

✅Celebrate every small win with Suya and Holandia to boost morale and keep you going. 

✅Stay flexible but never lose sight of your destination. 

✅ Always seek God's direction in every step you take 

In summary, turn your ambitions into achievements: one SMART goal at a time. 

ASSIGNMENT: Use the SMART acronym to checkmate your goals and progress. 

(S=Specific, M=Measurable, A=Achievable, R=Relevant/realistic, T=Time bound).
