The 5 Secrets Of Setting Short Term Goals
When I talk to people about goal setting, I’m often surprised by their reactions. A lot of people tell me that they haven’t gotten around to setting life-time goals and identifying their values and coming up with specific, measurable bench marks, etc…
They tell me that goal setting takes too much time and energy, and that it will require days and weeks of work and that once they have the goals they’ll start to feel bad if they don’t reach them.
Some of the time people tell me they do have goals, but when I ask them about what they are, they come up with vague wants and “Gee, I hope I get some day” items that change with each paycheck.
Sound familiar?
While life-time goal setting does require an initial investment of time and energy, the payoff is immediate and life changing. The good news, however, is that identifying and writing down even short term goals will give you the same benefits, and setting short term goals is a quick and effective way to develop momentum, build confidence and get some meaningful things accomplished.
If you want to see your life change in just 3 to 6 months, then follow these 5 quick rules for setting short term goals. As you’ll see, accomplishing just one short term goal can change your life beyond your wildest dreams!
Secret #1: Grab a calendar. Pick a short term, manageable 3 to 6 month period to set your goals in. Short term goals tend to get you into action right away, are easier to visualize, and because of their short term nature they encourage you to set realistic, easy to accomplish goals.
Secret #2: Pick just 2 or 3 goals to work with. Don’t get overwhelmed by trying to change every area of your life. Just pick a couple of areas that you want to begin changing in the next few months.
Secret #3: The goals you pick don’t have to be fully accomplished in the time period you’ve identified. This is the key! Rather, what you’re looking to do in the next 3 to 6 months is to simply develop momentum, establish a pattern, and begin getting you excited about your life again.
Great areas to set short term goals in are things like:
- Beginning or resuming an exercise routine and setting a goal to be so far along in the time frame you’ve set. – Increasing your closing percentage by a reasonable amount. – Having read or begun listening to a couple of books. – Joined a dating site and begun dating again. – Taking up or resuming a favorite hobby again.
Remember at the beginning I wrote that setting even short term goals can be a life-changing event? I know of someone who had a goal of finding and developing a serious relationship, and his short term goal was simply to join a dating site and begin dating. Well, he did that, met someone in 2 weeks, and now 6 months later, they are engaged to be married! You see, even short term goals can change your life!
Secret #4: Write your goals down. You’ve heard over and over again how much more effective goal setting is when you write your goals down. It’s totally true. Once you’ve identified your 2 or 3 goals, write down in detail what it is you want to accomplish, or what stage you want to be in at the end of the time period you’ve chosen.
Once you’ve done that, get a three by five card and write out an affirmation paragraph that describes in detail how you will feel once you’ve reached that goal. Keep it in the first person as if you’ve already accomplished that goal. Not: “I can’t wait to feel…” Rather: “It feels so good now that I’m…”
Secret #5: Make a list and start identify right now, today, what actions you can take to move you closer to your goals. Can you join a gym? Buy new walking shoes? Make 10 more cold calls today? Fill out a profile on a dating site? Take your kids to the park tonight?
Make a list of actions you can take today and take them!
Do the same thing tomorrow and get in the habit of taking an action each day to move you closer to your goals.
Follow this 5-Step method of setting short term goals and I guarantee you that your life WILL change 3 to 6 months from now.

Takers Film Review Online
Director John Luessenhop should have spent more pre-production time watching the best cops and robbers movie of all time HEAT. That epic heist movie starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro knew how to build and carry suspense. Luessenhop could also have learned how to shoot action sequences.
Takers is about a gang of chic bank robbers out for one last score, and the tireless, obsessed detective determined to do anything to stop them.
Showing that all robbers dont look like vagrants, live hand-to-mouth or spend their last dollar on cheap booze, the thieves in Takers all look as though they belong to a pretty-boy club, wear well tailored and expensive suits, drink the most expensive alcohol, drive the most exotic cars and have the best looking girlfriends. Oh yeah, and to show they have a heart, they always donate a portion of their ill gotten gains to charity.
This Los Angeles gang is made up of leader and mastermind Gordon, played fantastically by Idiris Elba. Gordon is by far the best developed character on the bad guy side. We see him interact tenderly with his sister who is currently in rehab, and as a result of these scenes the audience can actually care something about what happens to him. Michael Ealy and Chris Brown play gang members and brothers Jake and Jesse. They apparently have some type of complicated relationship, but the film never explores it. Paul Walker is the 4th member and Gordons second in command, but really does nothing but hang around looking good. The fifth member is Darth Vader himself, Hayden Christensen, who acts as the crews main strategist. Christensen is a better actor than a lot of people give him credit for, but this is not the role that proves it. It seems that his main objective is to make sure he is never without his porkpie hat.
The movie starts when a former crew member Ghost, played by Tip T.I. Harris, suddenly reappears after a lengthy prison sentence. During his time incarcerated he hatched a plan to pull off a daring armored car heist, and the window of opportunity is quickly closing. He returned to recruit his old pals into one last job, one that would pull in $25 million dollars.
Gordon is immediately against doing this job. The crew normally does only one job a year, and it is always meticulously planned down to the minute. The gang prides themselves on stop-watch timing and never getting anyone hurt. This job would have to be attempted before they had time to carefully plan out every possibility. But T.I. is persistent and points out that he did his jail time alone, without ratting out any other gang member so they owe him. Gordon acquiesces and agrees to go forward with the heist.
Meanwhile, detective Jack Welles, played by Matt Dillon, is the stereotypical obsessive cop with the busted family life who lives for his job. A border-line rouge lawman, he is forever holding off Internal Affairs while he pieces together far-flung pieces of evidence to solve a crime. When he catches wind of the heist, he and his partner (Jay Hernandez) start bending and breaking rules to try and stop this gang of thieves.
Matt Dillon is a superb actor with a very large and impressive body of work. So why a director would anchor him with some of the worst dialog of recent years is astounding. To Dillons credit, he almost pulls it off. But even his talent cant completely wipe away bad writing.
So basically we have a story of good-looking gentlemen bandits with hearts of gold out to do one last job while an aging, lonely, obsessive rogue cop tries to stop them. Yes, weve heard it all before.
Unfortunately a clich script is only the beginning of this movies problems. Aside from the bad acting and terrible dialog is the amateurish camerawork. Much of this movie is chase scenes, robberies and fighting, but they are filmed with a shaky, hand-held camera. The director and cameramen were obviously not skilled enough to pull this off because there are many scenes where the audience cant tell what is going on. The camera moves too much to see the action. There are some scenes where you cant even be sure who the actors are in the shot.
Overall Takers is a disappointment.

As a The Matrix fan, how much do you know about The Matrix? Lets have a review here ~~~
The Matrix is a 1999 Australian-American science fiction-action film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski; starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, and Hugo Weaving. It was first released in North America on March 31, 1999, and is the first installment in the Matrix series of films, comic books, video games, and animation.
The film depicts a future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality created by sentient machines to pacify and subdue the human population, while their bodies’ heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Upon learning this, computer programmer “Neo” is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, involving other people who have been freed from the “dream world” and into reality. The film contains many references to the cyberpunk and hacker subcultures; philosophical and religious ideas such as Ren Descartes’s evil genius, the Brain in a vat thought experiment; and homages to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Hong Kong action cinema, Spaghetti Westerns, dystopian fiction, and Japanese animation.
The Matrix makes numerous references to recent films and literature, and to historical myths and philosophy. These include Advaita, Messianism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Christianity, Existentialism, Nihilism, and occult tarot. There are similarities to several works by science fiction author Philip K. Dick, as well as cyberpunk works such as Neuromancer by William Gibson.
The Matrix has had a strong effect on action film-making in Hollywood. It set a new standard for cinematic fight scenes by hiring acclaimed choreographers (such as Yuen Woo-ping) from the Hong Kong action cinema scene, well-known for its production of martial arts films. The success of The Matrix put those choreographers and their techniques in high demand by other filmmakers who wanted fights of similar sophistication: for example, wire work was employed in X-Men (2000), and Yuen Woo-ping’s brother Yuen Cheung-Yan was choreographer on Daredevil (2003).
The Matrix received Oscars for film editing, sound effects editing, visual effects, and sound.In 1999, it won Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Direction.The Matrix also received BAFTA awards for Best Sound and Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects, in addition to nominations in the cinematography, production design and editing categories.
The Matrix also received generally favorable reviews from critics, with a consensus forming that it presented an “ingenious” blend of Hong Kong action cinema, innovative visual effects and an imaginative vision.
