KL’s LoveNotes #21: Set Goals and Create A Plan For Love
July 26, 2013 - Author: KishaLynn Elliott - No Comments
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This quote is POWERFULLY TRUE. If you’ve been sitting around wanting love (or anything else), but you haven’t actually put a plan in place to achieve and receive it, then your desire is little more than a wish.
Wishful thinking is fine for birthday candles, wishbones, and shooting stars. But when it comes to your one true love, if you really want it, and you’re really ready for it, then it’s time to set some goals and create a plan to get it.
Establishing a dating plan or a love plan doesn’t need to be as stuffy and formal as it seems. It’s simply about deciding on a few measurable outcomes for yourself, then working towards accomplishing them over a set period of time. This way, you know you’re actually DOING SOMETHING to get what you want instead of waiting around waiting for it to show up (and complaining about its absence).
Here are a few goals you might want to think through as you establish your plan. I’ve included some sample targets for each for demonstration purposes only. But, feel free to adopt or adapt them if they feel right for you:
How many dates do you want to go on?
SAMPLE: At least 1 date every two weeks for the next 3 months.
How many new people/friends would you like to meet?
SAMPLE: At least 3 new connections over the next 3 months.
How many activities will you join/do/try out?
SAMPLE: At least 2 social activities per month for the next 3 months.
How many online dating sites will you join/try out?
SAMPLE: At least 2 completed profiles on different sites.
How much time will you devote each day/week/month to this goal?
SAMPLE: At least one hour a week specifically focused on working this plan.
What will the results of this plan be if successful?
SAMPLE: More vibrant social life; regularly dating people with shared interests; greater self-confidence; more clarity around desires; viable candidates for long-term relationships
How long will you work this plan before assessing its effectiveness?
SAMPLE: Review and assess progress at least once per month.
Again, this is just a sample plan. You may have different goals and targets. You might want to move faster than three months, or slower. You might not want to do online dating, and prefer to take one of many other paths that could lead to love…it’s all up to you.
The important part is to make the plan, then work the plan, and rework the plan until the plan works.
