SET GOALS

THE BENEFITS OF SETTING GOALS
Having specific, written goals can enrich our lives in a number of ways. Here are a few of them:


Motivation - Goals are the starting blocks of motivation. They give us a reason to get off our duffs and get going instead of waiting for someone else to get us going.

Independence - Goals help us take charge of our lives. Instead of following the crowd or wandering through life, we choose our own path, the one that leads to fulfillment of our ambitions.

Direction - Goals give us a destination. We're far more likely to get someplace specific when we know where we're going.

Meaning - Goals give us a sense of purpose. Life has more meaning when we're clear on what we want. Instead of merely existing from one day to the next, our goals give us reasons to start really living.

Enjoyment - Goals are the antidote to the most dreaded of all social diseases: boredom. How can you be bored when you've got exciting things to do? Goals make our lives more fun, more interesting, and more challenging.
Fulfillment - Goals, more than anything else, help us reach our potential. Setting goals helps us see what's possible. Each successful step toward attaining them builds confidence. Each goal completed helps us see more of what's possible and leads to new goals and more success.

How many specific goals do you have in writing?
