Goal setting is the practice of identifying a specific goal you want to accomplish in your life and designing a step-by-step plan that will help you reach them. Setting and achieving goals gives you a clear sense of direction and helps ensure your actions move closer to where you want to be.
Without goal-setting to illuminate the path forward, you’re far too likely to spend your time bouncing from situation to situation, always reacting to events rather than proactively guiding your life toward the reality you want to create. Your life ends up being shaped more by people and situations outside of yourself than by your own dreams and desires. That’s why identifying specific and challenging goals for yourself – and following a goal-setting process that breaks down your over-arching objectives into bite-sized doable steps – is the key to making your dreams a reality and creating the life you want.
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. – Andrew Carnegie
