Decision-making starts with vision. In order to set career and personal goals, take some time now and incorporate the knowledge you have of yourself and visualize what you want your life to look like. In the best of all worlds, where would you be living? Who would you be living with? What would your relationships be? What would you be doing in work and in leisure? What kind of lifestyle would you want? |

The process of answering these questions can help you to develop your own personal vision. Once you have that vision, you have the raw materials that can be turned into long-term and short-term goals. Your vision may be lofty or practical. Consider these examples:
Raising a happy family in a wholesome environment
Improving personal health for you and your family
Having a career that makes other people happier
Achieving recognition through creative efforts
Preparing for a carefree retirement
Creating an estate
Knowing what you want from your life will help you to set:
Career objectives
Personal objectives
Community objectives
Lifelong learning objectives
Goals
Start with the "big picture" and then consider how your objectives will help you reach your vision. You can then plan short-term goals and action steps.
