Goals Make Life Worth Living

We should all have goals, something to strive towards.  Whether it’s building better relationships with our loved ones, or improve our health & finances.  Goals make life more meaningful.  Let’s face it.  Life goes by pretty fast.  Goals help us with priorities and better allocate our most precious resource, time… 

Why not set your goals today?  Take a few minutes and write 10 of the most important goals in your life.  Then be sure to review them often, preferably daily, to make sure they’re still relevant & up to date.  Goals can also act as milestones to help us figure out whether we’re on track.  Or to put it in a more bluntly, if we do something that helps us achieve our goals, then we’re behaving intelligently.  And if not, then stupidly.

Make sure it’s specific & measurable.  For example, “I want to make $100K in 2009” is a goal, whereas “I want to make more money” is a vague wish.  In that case, here’s a buck.  That’s more money.  So mission accomplished. and back to watching mindless TV on the couch? 

Sarcastic remarks aside, goals help us grow & hopefully become better people.  Goals provide us with a sense of direction & purpose.  So have some goals.  And start accomplishing!
