Readers write in to Share How they Set Goals, Evaluate Progress and See if they are getting anywhere.
Whenever I sit to implement my goals, I review it. My satisfaction is my system of evaluation.
Vibhor P Jain, Mumbai
It is an ongoing thing with me. I am clear about what I want to earn per month, what I want to read and learn and what I want to gain spiritually. I think I have achieved 20 per cent of what I set out to do five years ago.
Rishi Rathod, Mumbai
I have a very clear picture of my goals in my mind, so I do not have to think about them every now and then. I know what I want, and how I am going to achieve it. But yes, they do get a bit modified to suit the situations I am going through in my life. My strategy to achieve them is very simple – grab an opportunity as soon as it knocks your door. Learn from those who are better than you. Thus I keep learning and keep on polishing myself so I can shape a better future.
Krutika V Korat, Mumbai
For a long time, things had not been working out for me. I felt defeated on the financial, personal and social fronts. But my faith in God and my guru has brought me out of the darkness. As I get more spiritual in my life-view, I am growing materially as well. Judging by the speed at which I am growing, In the next five years, I expect to achieve 85 per cent of the goals I have set for my self.

I evaluate my progress every day. Sometimes, it is a good day. Other days, it is not so good. Most days it’s cruising. If you just get the co-passengers and the coordinates right, the rest falls in place.

I have no goals that I have to achieve, so there is not question of evaluating my progress.. I live it as it comes and am assured that I will reach where I am meant to.
