Be a Goal Minder!

The word “Goals” is synonymous with “Success.” You cannot talk of success without talking about goals. Success without goals is empty - it cannot be quantified, its just not exciting. Without goals there are no milestones to clear. Goals put adrenalin to the journey and game of greatness.

In most ball sports, be it hockey or soccer, there is always a goal minder. Someone whose sole purpose is to guard and defend the goal. This person never strays far from the goal posts. If he does it will be for a very brief strategic role, but the goal is always covered. The goal minder is carefully chosen and his role is critical for success. In soccer, the great goal minders like Peter Nkomo “Oxo” or Bruce Grobellar live in our memories for ever.

Why don’t you carry this thought to your daily personal or business goals: be a goal minder. Guard and protect your goals. Always be obsessed with your goals, regardless of whether you are winning at the moment or not. It’s a great faux paux to have an empty unguarded goal. A goal that is not being pursued is a weak prayer.

This is true for when we set goals in life, we have targets to meet and we use goals to measure level of success. Goals therefore are key points to motivate us and indeed they help us to move forward.
