What is a goal?
You might ask yourself what really is a goal? Well, here we are going to explain it completely.
A goal is something you set for yourself that you want to achieve in the future. It could be anything important to you, like becoming better at something, reaching a personal milestone, or accomplishing a dream. Think of it as a target you’re aiming for, and working towards it step by step.
For example, if you want to improve your health, a goal could be exercising for 30 minutes every day.
So why is having a goal important?
Having a goal provides clarity, purpose, and a roadmap to guide actions and measure progress toward achieving desired results.
We all want things in life—not just one thing, but many. In fact, what we want often changes as we go through life. While everyone has desires, not everyone achieves or gets what they want.
One major reason for this is that they let the odds work against them. What do I mean by that? It’s like playing a 1v1 game where you really want to win, but you’re not even participating. Instead, you’re wandering around, waiting for luck to find you and hand you the victory by mere chance. Without effort, the odds of losing are high.
You might say, “Of course, you’ll lose—it’s obvious.” Yet, many people live exactly like this. They have dreams but no goals and take no responsibility for achieving them.
They don’t make plans/goals and put in the effort. For example, many people want a raise, but few actually plan and set goals towards it, develop the necessary skills for it and decide to ask for one. Instead, they wait for luck to bring it to them. Are you like that? Are you living life based on chance and luck?
Maybe you have that dream of starting your own business but you are afraid to take the actual step towards it…
