		<description>These Goal sheets are to generic.  People need specific methods outlined for them so they can concentrate more on their goals, then figuring out what to write.</description>

		<description>As stated by other comments, goals need to have completion dates &amp; of course they can be changed but only by the coach.Another thing about goals that I found is the client should take baby steps and increase the goal as one completes the baby steps. I had a client that was mildly obese. He wanted to start walking a quarter mile twice a day. This would have taken him about one hour or more to do. I talked him down to walking for 5 minutes three times a day. In a year he lost 80 lbs &amp; is now walking two miles twice a day. Baby steps.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the goal setting worksheet! I really liked the thought of dividing our goals into main areas. The three that you suggest; Health, Finances, and Relationships really seem to cover it all for me. It really is helpful for me to think of it in these main areas otherwise I just get overwhelmed by all the work I need to do to achieve my goals.  Thanks for the help with goal setting!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think that all urgency is competitive, at least not outwards competitive. Being in competition with your old self is a good thing. You should be out there everyday trying to be better than yesterday. If competition with others does not motivate you, stop looking outside for success reference and start looking more inside (or into a mirror) and analyze how YOU can be better.

As for the dates, if you feel setting dates isn&#039;t helping you, try breaking down your goal into small stepping stones that you can achieve on a daily or weekly basis and keep achieving your smaller goals every day or week.

Failing to meet a deadline for a goal is NOT failing. Failure occurs only when you stop trying. If you didn&#039;t meet your goal by the set date, it is a good time to sit down and analyze why it didn&#039;t happen, did you did everything you set out to do? did you put all your best efforts out there? did you lack any important knowledge or understanding about that goal that prevented you from succeeding? Failure and a &quot;temporary setback&quot; are very different. Admitting failure is admitting you are no longer going to try to achieve that. Admitting a &quot;temporary setback&quot; means you understand that something didn&#039;t go as planned but your intent towards achieving that goal is as strong as ever.

Having setbacks and minor and major blunders are part of life. Don&#039;t run away from them, don&#039;t try to hide from them. Embrace them. If you have to fall, fall spectacularly, and remember to always get up and step up to the plate again.</description>
