TYPE OF GOALS Apply the specified 5-step method for setting financial, personal, learning, and health goals. Financial Goals Calculate the exact amount of money you need for the lifestyle you desire. Do you want to go on a holiday four times a year? Calculate how much that will cost as accurately as possible. Consider everything that you want to do or buy. Finally, take your monthly liabilities into consideration. Adding these figures up, gives you a total amount of money you need to live the lifestyle you wish. Personal Goals These are the things that you want to do before you die. Also, you can set goals for the person you want to be. We decide what kind of person we want to be the person we are is completely in our control. Think of Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of the Roman Empire-his goal was to always do the right thing and treat people fairly. Learning Goals Knowledge is the starting point of every challenge you take on. Many confuse knowledge with school. While school oftenteaches us things we are not interested in, we should take personal responsibility for the things we learn and are curious about. This has nothing to do with school and is a commitment to life-long learning. Knowledge is one of the most important aspects of human evolution, if not, the most important. Knowledge is what helps us survive and adapt to any threat we face. We can learn from the mistakes that others made through books. People learn in different ways: documentaries, books, school, audiobooks, podcasts, mentorships, or interviews. Find out how you learn and set goals for what you want to learn and how you are going to do it. Health Goals This is about the body you want and the physical condition you want to be in. With a healthy body and mind, you can take on every challenge that you face. Dr. John Ratey shows in his book Spark, how regular exercise can lower the chances of atherosclerosis, diabetes and depression. Additionally, regular exercise improves your immune system so you are less susceptible to diseases. We have been given a body, and it is our job to develop and maintain it.
