Goals and Goal-Setting

We all need a clear direction in our life.

Many of us have a sense of direction, but it is a confused and misunderstood ideal that cannot truly influence us.

Having goals and a direction is akin to going on a journey.

If you are unsure of where you want to get to, you will probably not get there.

Similarly, even if you know where you are going and are not sure how you will get there, it will be much easier to find a way to succeed.

Goals are the very juice of life. They are our chance to take control and shape our future.

When did you last set some goals and did you complete them? Take some time to set some goals and get back into control, it is easy, empowering and rewarding.

Goals are crucial in life. In a study done in the 1950's, a group of equally gifed university students were asked if they had a written plan of how they wanted to live their lives. 3% said that they did and 97% said that they did not. 25-years later, the surviving members of the class were asked about how their life turned out. The 3% who had a written outline for life were richer than the other 97% combined. They were also happier, healthier and had greater value for life. A written outline for life is certainly the first step to success.
