I tend to find this true in my own life already. Whatever my goals, dreams or ambitions, the more I share them with my friends—my support group—the more often those goals become reality. Given that more and more of us are living our lives online these days, Goal Post definitely seems like it could help.
So, I did the the next logical thing. I went to Goal Post to set my goals and enlist my friends. Keith provides some more insight here. “Your goals must be SMART,” he says. “Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.”
To that end, the Goal Post application breaks out potential goals in seven different areas: health and wellness, spirituality, job and career, intellectual and cultural, financial, deep relationships, and giving back. You can choose from suggestions such as, stop eating fast food, learn to meditate, have dinner as a family five days a week, volunteer one day a month, or you can enter your own. You then enter a date by which you want to attain your goals and select at least three friends to hold you accountable.
I’ve started meditating recently, but have been lax in doing it on a daily basis. So, I set daily meditation as my goal (feel free to send some inspiration and become a friend). I selected four friends that I felt would really help me stick to this (or chew me out if I didn’t). Now if you really want some good Karma, you can help your friends out in the same way they’re helping you. “You should also rally your friends to make improvements in their own lives,” Keith says. “Don’t leave them in your dust—bring them along with your success.”
The friend who sent me the original invite is trying to get it better shape and hit the gym more often. So, I used the application to send him some music that helps me power through my workouts.
You can get to the Goal Post application by logging onto Facebook and searching for “Goal Post.” So what are you waiting for? Start attaining more of your goals now!
