CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A S.M.A.R.T. goal is one that is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound.

Specific (simple, sensible, significant) Be simple, clear and specific in what it is you want to accomplish. This should answer the ‘W’ questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and Which. What specifically do you want to accomplish? When do you want to accomplish this by? Why does this need to happen?

Measurable (meaningful, motivating) How will you measure the progress of your goals? Set some short and long-term goals. This helps to identify tangible progress and allows you the space to adjust along the way.

Achievable (agreed, attainable) The goal should be challenging, but it should not be something that is unattainable. You should feel motivated and inspired, not depleted and discouraged by your goal. So be realistic and plan accordingly.

Relevant (reasonable, realistic, resourced, results-based) The goal should be relevant to you and those that are involved. And it should be able to move things forward in a positive way. Answer these questions about the goal:

  • Is it worthwhile? Is it applicable? Am I the right person?
  • Is now the right time? Does this line up with the Word of God?

Time-bound “A goal is a dream with a deadline” ~Napoleon Hill

Timelines will help you to stay on task. And deadlines will help to create a sense of urgency. A little tension produces a reachable outcome. But be realistic when setting the goal. Make sure the goal can actually be achieved in the timeframe that has been set, and consider all of the other components of S.MA.R.T.

What about something like prayer?  Often, this is an area where we set ourselves up for failure by creating unattainable goals like, “Pray for an hour every day.”

Now, is this goal specific? Yes. Is it measurable? Yes. What about attainable? This is where we’re running into problems. Depending on your lifestyle, it might be hard to work in an hour of prayer into your schedule. If you don’t have a regular habit established of praying every day, going from 0-60 minutes might not allow you to develop a consistent habit, especially if your days already feel full!

For someone who was not praying regularly, transforming this goal to be SMART would look like creating a goal similar to, “For the next 2 weeks, pray for 10 minutes every morning.”

If you write down your goal, you are 42% more likely to achieve it!
