HOW TO SET FAMILY GOALS
Family represents the foundation of self, and a unity of acceptance, unconditional sacrifices, joy, support and love that is built on a continuum of resilience, and journey in humility from the past, current and future generations.
Setting goals for your family shouldn’t be a difficult task. Here are some things to consider to make setting your family goals easy and fun.
1. What Do You and Your Spouse Want for Your Family?
Every family is unique, so you have to decide with your spouse what you want for your family. Think about how you want your family to look every day, or what you would like to achieve in a month, a year, or in 3, 5 or 10 years.
2. Which Families Do You Want to Emulate?
There are good examples of some families that you might like to emulate. What have you observed that you think are desirable virtues you can imbibe in your family? Write them down and check if you can work out similar things for your family
3. What Have You Seen in Other Families That You Want to Avoid?
Have you seen anything around you that you perceive as threats to families? It is time to set your own goals to make sure that you don’t experience them.
For example, getting home late perpetually can strain the relationship between a husband and wife. If you notice this trend, you might want to set a goal to return home daily at a scheduled time.
4. What Are the Current Challenges in Your Family?
Most problems in families persist because both husband and wife (and possibly children, too) have not taken the time to discuss them. When you talk about the challenges and discuss the possible solutions, then you can come up with family goals that will address those problems.
