It seems we have a recurring theme about goal setting!
Particularly for those of us looking to create our ideal life after graduate school, and even for those of us who create our ideal life everyday (BRAVO!!), the recent articles and quotes we've seen help provide direction and motivation.
For realistic implementation tips, especially if you are looking to advance your career during or after graduate school, check out your local career center or ask business leaders within your network for advice and guidance. They may further direct you to their own gurus and mentors for guidance or help networking! SCORE!
While navigating the job hunt, one thing I have certainly found to be true - time and time again - is a genuine interest among people to help. Others, such as faculty, business leaders and mentors, truly desire to give back. Seize opportunities to gain from any gurus', experts', busboys', and friends' inevitable tales of career glories and glooms, and listen to their mistakes. Use that wisdom to set (and bulldoze through) the BHAG's of your own career path!
One more thing to consider... To create balance and a snowball of success and motivation for yourself, think about setting goals in all aspects of your life. When you are inspired and invigorated in one area, it will inevitably dribble into the others, spurring you ahead to conquer every lofty, heart-palpitating, "eek!" goal. Who doesn't want that for themselves!?
In short, choose that which scares you! Dream BIG! If you fail, it's ok! Failure in an endeavor does not equate failure as a person, and people do not expect perfection. Being flawed and being equipped with any such experiences in your pocket, you will still forge ahead as a better person, a better friend, and a better leader. You will relate to others and motivate them to reach for the "impossible." After all, you did it, and look how far you've come!
