A goal that can be

achieved within a year. Ex: study for a test,

finish an essay, do chores, plan for the

summer *CAN BE A STEPPING STONE

FOR A LONG-TERM GOAL*

A goal that will take

more than a year to achieve. Ex: go to

college, save for your dream car


Goals need to be realistic, specific and measurable. A person cannot expect to lose 100 pounds in a month. Make sure the goal is something you can realistically attain within a set time period. Short goals can be reached within a short time period, usually within one year. A short-term goal can be a stepping stone toward a long-term goal – a goal that takes more than a year to accomplish.

Slide 12


• Believe in yourself!

12

Everyone has obstacles at one time or another during their lifetime. Obstacles teach you to how to face adversity. The key to overcoming difficulties in your path is to believe in yourself! You must have the drive, perseverance and ambition to continue going and reach your goals.

Slide 13


• There will always be obstacles! The

way to determine success is by the

way you handle them!

13

People around you will see the way you handle obstacles in your life and will learn about your character by your actions. At some point in your life, you will have an obstacle, from challenging school work, to challenges at work to medical concerns. Think about the way you choose to handle each obstacle that comes your way. If you choose to handle it with confidence, determination and willpower, you will over come the obstacle. If you avoid the obstacle, you will never overcome the adversity. Either way, the manner in which you handle the obstacle will teach you about yourself.
