To Have Goals or Not to Have Goals

In our HITC Life Management class this morning I'm going over a lesson about goals and goal setting. Why is this important you may think to yourself. The answer to that is easy. Without goals "you'll aim at nothing and hit anything." I don't like the sound of that. I don't know about you, but I like to aiming towards something or have a target in mind when I do things. I'm not willing to settle for just anything simply because of my lack of goal setting or vision. I truly believe that if you don't have short term and long term goals in your life, you won't run with purpose, strategy or with passion. Goals are the specific, realistic and measurable things that keep you on the path of accomplishment and success. One of the things I enjoy about having goals is that they're an effective way for me to measure progress. By them I can tell whether or not I'm on track. If you are goal setting person well done. If you're not, you are in luck. There are so many incredible resources available to help you learn to set them and grow in this area. Don't be afraid to set goals in your life. They will help you stay on the right course and can help you move out of the same old same old into a path of excellence.
