Goals – The Art of Goal Setting

Goals – The Art of Goal Setting

Setting goals is a creative process, an art. Formulating and articulating them is an intellectual exercise. Achieving goals is a process that follows universal laws. A goal is a desired result a person or organization envisions, plans and commits to achieve as a result of some sort of development or growth.

Goals give you focus, allow you to measure progress, keep you locked in and undistracted, give you motivation and help you grow. Goals give you desire, motivation and enthusiasm which are the foundation for fulfillment and health in all areas of your life.

Why are people reluctant to set goals?

• The majority of people does not take life seriously. Their comfort zone is too cozy. They are satisfied with getting by in life and they tiptoe through life and hope to get to death without being severely hurt.
• They are not yet ready to take full responsibility for their lives. They tell themselves and everyone else their own story to justify their status quo.
• The main reason, however, is the fear of failure and the fear of not being good enough.
