A word about goal setting:
It has been argued that goal setting isn't all that powerful, that all we need to
do is try our best and things will be as good as they possibly can. How
incredibly wrong this assumption is. With no eye on a specific desired
outcome, every moment’s decisions won’t be made with the outcome in
mind. We are presented daily with endless options: options on how to react to
a situation or event, options in the myriad of choices we make all day long,
and options about what to do with the ideas that come to us. Better to prepare
for the road. Have an eye on the goals so our decisions dovetail with them,
ultimately guiding us effortlessly toward them. With our goals focused upon,
we find ourselves, not fighting against what we don’t want, but choosing
what we do. No one ever achieved great success without spending a good deal
of time thinking and focusing on what the goals and intentions are. It will
change who you are
