Have You Set Up Goals For Your Life?

Have you ever set up goals for your life? Are they things that you really want to do? Have you figured out where you are going and why you are heading there? Where are you headed? How are you going to get there?


Goal setting is an important part of personal growth. Without goal setting, there will be no progress in personal growth. It's a fact that most people don't know what they really want to achieve in life, so they go about it in circles. They'll set goals here and there, but without a plan, those goals will never be reached. You need to write down those goals so you can track your progress.

When I was younger, I didn't know what my goals were. It took me years to put them all together. I didn't know how to write them down or where to find information on them. I spent many years trying to figure life out, and it was a very lonely road.

Goal setting is the first step in achieving your goals. You need to decide what you are trying to accomplish in life. Is it more money, more friends, a better job, better health, a better love life, a better relationship, etc? Whatever it is, figure it out. Once you have written down your goals, set small milestones along the way to keep you motivated.

Set short-term goals, too. You have to be realistic with yourself and how much time you have per day. If you only have one hour per day, you have to make that work. Maybe you don't have a lot of time per day, but at least write down your goals. If you can't reach them today, you won't get them tomorrow either.

Have you ever heard the saying, "actions speak louder than words?" There is some truth to that. If you set your goals, keep track of your progress, and measure your success, you will be able to tell when you are on track. Your actions will speak louder than words. They are the ones that matter. If you have worked on your goals for years but never achieved them, that does not mean that you don't have a strong desire to succeed.

Goals are an essential ingredient for getting what you want out of life. Why do people fail to get what they want out of life? Because they don't have goals. Without a goal, you don't know where you are going. Having goals gives you clarity and keep you moving towards your goal.

When was the last time that you set up goals for your life? Do you know where you stand today? Are you on track to having the life that you want?

Here's a great quote by Robert Frost, "He who fails to plan has failed to learn." Have you really thought about what you need to do? Have you figured out what it is that you want to accomplish? Have you figured out what it will take to get there? Most people have no idea how to go about making these kinds of decisions.

There are times when goals seem like a pipe dream. But wait! You can make any goal possible if you put your mind to it. All it takes is some creativity and planning! Why not start today with figuring out what it is that you want to accomplish and start setting goals to achieve those goals. Go ahead, get started!

Once you have figured out what it is that you really want to do, write down those goals on a piece of paper. Decide exactly what you want to do in each category, but don't forget to include the time line. That way you can figure out how long it will take to get from here to there. Don't be afraid to push yourself.


Now it's time to write down your goals in a nice daily reminder calendar that you can look at every morning. That way you will know exactly how many days you have left to reach your goals. And remember, you are never too old to accomplish great things in life! So what are you waiting for, get going!
