Intellectual

How can you be "improving" your life if your not "improving" your brain's capacity to think? Intellectual goals can be as simple as reading a book to going back to school for your Phd. You can not be successful without having your intellectual goals met. I liken it to someone who marries for looks alone. You may have all your physical needs met but boy it would get boring fast.  You would not be able to share a joke. You would have nothing in common to discuss. Intellectual stimulation will keep you young.  It is part of our life, don't neglect it.

The examples below are a simplified version of what ONE major goal may look like. The toughest part for any goal setting is to break it down into daily tasks (Step 5). The tasks in this example are actually something you could do in the first day or week of reaching your goal. It was done this way on purpose so as to give you a starting point. Remember Goal setting is a DAILY TASK. Get into the habit of reviewing your goals on a daily basis.
