Project Achieve Your Goals
Setting goals is the easy part...reaching them can be more challenging!
Having someone support you in reaching your personal goals can be incredibly helpful. Today, wed like to announce a new community program aimed at helping you reach your goals.
Well need both listeners & members to make this happen! Here is how you can get involved in this project:
Members:
Step 1: Post a goal youd like to work towards in this thread. Be specific! Goals work great when you can make them measurable. Usually that involves a time period and a number of times. Additionally, you want to start by making goals achievable. Do not make your goals too hard or you will grow frustrated and not be able to reach them. Much better to make them easy to accomplish to build your confidence right from the start.
Examples:
I want to cook dinner for myself 3 nights per week
I want to go to the gym 1 time per week
Take 3 growth path steps every day
Step 2: Specify if you'd like a listener to check in on you 1 or 2x/week.
Step 3: Wait for a listener to reply to you! They will reply and let you know they will support you reach this goal.
Step 4: PM this listener to get going! They will not be able to support you by checking in on you if you do not first PM them. If you find that a listener has not followed up, then please post again and request another listener.
Step 5: Post your progress each week >>in this thread<< and also on your feed so more people can support you in achieving your goals.
Listeners:
Step 1: Wait for members to share their goals in this thread! When you see a goal/member youd like to support*, reply to their forum post and let them know!
* Please make sure you can support the member based on age group, ie. Adults with Adults, Teens with Teens. Only Adult-Teen Listeners can chat with both *
Step 2: Once this member has messaged you and established connection over PM, its your job to better understand the members goal, why its important and what you can do to best support them.
Step 3: Make a commitment! Check-in with this member twice per week and enquire about the goal!
Step 4: Let us know how you and your member are doing! >>In this thread<<, we will track your progress as team. Post here to let us know how it's going!
My goals, however unattainable they might seem:
- practice guitar daily
- work out 3 to 5 times a week
- exercise more discipline and become the man I know I can be
Hi (: I'm a new listener on here and my goal is to become a verified listener.
Good luck to everyone with your goals ^_^
@macteanimo I think that is a greta goal to have, and as a verified listener I'd love to help you reach that point! 
Please pm me of your progress so far, and how you'd like me to help you along the way!
One of my research papers just got accepted to a conference-- actually not quite a conference, just a workshop. My goal is to get accepted another conference, a real one this time :). I need to commit to my research and look out for opportunities.

I like to use the SMART way to set goals. And I'd like to share it with everyone else here.
S - Specific
M - Measureable
A - Achieveable
R - Realistic
T - Time-bound
For myself, before I started my Program, my goal was to do well in both the Theory and Clincial (Practicum). I think I've been doing well in the Theory, and it's only been the 3rd week of the Clinical, but I think things are going smoothly so far. Upon taking this program, I had a goal in 5 years time. My ultimate goal was to complete my program, start my new career, start saving up again and help my brother with the expenses of our house (he bought it under his name, so my parents don't have the burden of paying off the mortgage, since my dad retired 3 years ago), I want to sponsor my parents a bit for their cruise or road trips they like going, and save up for my own vacation (of which I wanted to go to South Korea and spend at least a month there), with or without my parents, I haven't decided yet!~
My goals for this month are:
-drink more water and eat healthy
-exercise daily (workout/run)
-try new things (talk to people I don't normally talk to and venture out of my comfort zone)
-read the bible every day
-DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!! (My worst thing ever)

My goal is to it let my past get the better of me, to live as I want to live and to always be happy no matter how much money I have. I want to stop blanking through life and to stop letting everything walk all over me
@CaptainZiggy
Hello. I would love to help support you in acheiving this goal.
My goals are to live a more healthy, positive life centered around mine and my loved ones happiness. I want to completely get rid of negative, toxic people in my life. I want to live free of constant stress, worry, and sadness. Instead I want that to be replaced with joy, love, and confidence. I want to communicate more about what I am feeling, and to stop complaining when I do that. I am striving ultimately for a life filled with love, joy, and peace.
And im starting on my path to all of that right now, with the help of God and this godsend, 7cups.
@Dragonindisguise hey there! Id love to help you with your goals. Feel free to pm me<3
