Hi.

I hope your year is going on well.

The first quarter of 2022 is over. So far, things may have gone better than you planned, or worse than you imagined. Either way, you know exactly how it is going if you set your goals at the beginning of the year. This ability to know where you are and how you are fairing is the highest importance of setting goals. That is why they say "if you do not know where you are going, any path will lead you there".

If you did set goals for this year, it is now the time for the first quarterly review. Go over your goals, one by one. Check what has gone well, and schedule more of it if you can. Then look at what does not make sense anymore, and get rid of it. But be careful, not strike out things just to lower your effort level and slide back to destructive comfort. You need to make sure that you are doing it for genuine reasons, and possibly, to help you get better results.

Lastly, check what needs to be introduced. If you have been pursuing your goals, you have been learning and growing. So, new perspectives and skills have emerged on how you can get better by doing things differently. Bring in this hot stuff, without being over-ambitious.

With this review and incorporating some tweaks in your plan, you will continue to pursue your yearly goals with greater confidence, clarity and higher chances of success. No matter how hard it has been or will be, you will be better prepared in the coming months.

And if you completed my class and never went ahead to set any goals, it is not yet too late. Please go ahead, and do the right thing. Because doing the right thing has no perfect timing!

I wish you all the best in your pursuits, my valued student.
