When you want to grow, clear goals are need to be set before taking action. Goals are normally set in the following areas : 1. Career goals are determined based on current and future academic background, aptitude towards functions 2. Family goals are determined by the family culture, tradition and values under the guidance of successful people in the family 3. Financial goals practically there are no limits to financial prosperity. Current earnings + Expected income Investment = Net income or Disposable income. 4. Spiritual goals - Universe: Uni = One. Verse = Song. Universe = One Song. One Song heard by all throughout the entirety of existence. One Song. One Message to all. I feel that message is Love. Love knows no religion. Love knows no nationality or country border. Love is Love.

HOW
Planning: The top priority for any activity is PLANNING. Hence planning precedes all other functions. Education: To achieve success in our personal life education plays a vital role. Learning process should never end in ones life. Growth : A+E+E = L Age+ Education + Experience = Life Growth Skills : In the current scenario updating ones knowledge in the relevant areas helps in developing skills. Success Model : Tips from successful personalities on their traits and their habits. Risks : Risk takers are always reward getters. One should always take calculated risk in their lives.

Why not just lead a life of no expectations and see what happens? Why set goals? or strive to better yourself. Personal growth is a conscious choice, one that is entirely up to you. What is the meaning of life? The purpose of my life is to grow and to help others to grow. What Should be my Attitude? Being able to grow year after year is the greatest adventure anyone could ever hope for . What is Growth? Growth certainly involves both pain and pleasure, but the pain only sweetens the pleasure there is nothing inherently wrong with leading a life expecting nothing. Why are you Born?
