When attempting to set a goal for anything, I tend to struggle, with numerous ideas running through my mind. ‘Which is the best one to decide with.’ That is the question, so when I was asked about setting a goal for why I am studying K219, I was very surprised at how easy it came to me. My goal is to complete my course. I don’t feel this is too unrealistic, after completing K101 last year, considering I had been out of education for over fifteen years, I amazed myself on fully completing and passing the course.
When looking at the goal, I have set is it possible to achieve? Well-having proved myself wrong last year and completing my first year of university study, I believe it is possible. I can study and set time aside to do so. I can guarantee some stressful situations may affect the time I have set aside for studying or even my concentration on the course materials. These could range from misunderstanding the course, and material to family, or work stress. While reflecting on these factors that I may have no control over, they could potentially affect my ability in accomplishing my goal. But with self-control and discipline, I feel I will always do my best in getting back on track. External health factors could also play a part in staying on track. When I was asked to reflect on factors that may affect my ability in accomplishing my goal, I found the determinants of health (Dahlgren and Whitehead, 1993) opened my eyes a little more I never thought of considering factors such as age, sex, and constitutional factors that could all play a significant part in of affecting my ability to achieve the goal. Health is determined by many things mentioned by (Blaxter,2010). To me, health represents when you are ill.

Seen that health can represent many different factors and we all have different opinions in describing health. Well-being can also be seen in the same light as health. But as I start to sum up my goal, I again refer to (Blaxter,2010) looking at my well-being as a learner and on a personal level. Blaxter describes health as both internal and external circumstances. To be more positive by not allowing complications to affect our ability in accomplishing the goal no matter what our age. I see this as the same for well-being as all these can play a significant part in our mental state, this will affect one’s well-being in being able to feel in control and empowered and believing in yourself. My well-being state will have an impact on me being able to fully accomplish my goal. By staying focused and believing in one’s myself, I am determined to succeed till the end.
I won’t allow these factors to push me back, with resilience I will bounce back when needed by overcoming any hurdles that may arise. The resilience I feel I will personally need to be able to accomplish my goal to the satisfaction that is needed is by believing in myself and looking at the further outcome of my goal and the future this will have. I will need to deal with unfortunate and complex decisions along the way. But by keeping my goal in mind I am confident in being able to maintain my path to success. Adversity and general challenges will all play a part in my forthcoming studies but having an effective plan and support from my tutor and family I feel these pushbacks won't cease me in maintaining my end goal (Hoppes,2011).
To conclude lifestyle choices will play an enormous part in me being able to fulfil my goal of completing my studies this year. The capabilities approach (Nussbaum,2011) aided me to note down different factors in overcoming my emotional state of mind and believing in myself, knowing I will bounce back no matter the difficulties, I just need to believe. I know the beneficial outcome will encourage me to stay on the right path in achieving my studies to the full potential. These will include a career path I am working towards, providing better opportunities for my family, and being in a job I will thrive and enjoy, all this means a successful outcome and a happier mental state in the long run.
