4 Step Cheat Sheet

1. Find your favorite quote

Earle Nightingale recommends this formula. On a card, write your goal and on the other side write these words from Matthew 7:7-8. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

3. Using this page, write down your goals for 30 days, 3 months, 6 months or a Year for each element. Set three levels in which you can aim for.

Goal	Positive Emotion	Engagement	Relationships	Meaning	Accomplishment
Big
Middle
Runty

Focus on one at a time but keep the rest in sight

If you want to improve your fitness and health, this type of goal is aligned with Engagement. A way of measuring your goal is through quantifiable measures such as number of repetitions, weight lifted, kilometers achieved or time doing activity that help identify level of attainment. Let’s say the outcome goal is to improve upper body strength and tone. To achieve this you will need to work on strengthening your upper body. An exercise to do this is the push up. First test yourself to see how many push ups you can do following a protocol or reliable test.

Set levels

Following this test, you could set three goals with numbers next to the goal week that you can aim at achieving. (See Right). For example, if your Big Bull (BB) goal is to do greater than 45 push ups and your Middle Bull (MB) goal is 25 and you’re Runty Bull (RB) goal less than 15, you should write these in and attempt this test at the end of the week.
