Wouldnt it be so much more comfortable if success, wealth or health just happened?! No! That is irresponsible thinking. That is not being in charge of your life.
Although goal-setting has been proven to help launch you towards the success you desire many people fail to reach their goals and therefore they become a block to their future success. This is because we tend to set up beliefs based on prior experience. Reaching goals sets up a mental belief that you can reach goals. If you have reached some goals previously then you will have strong, positive beliefs about your ability to do it again. If, on the other hand, you have tried and failed numerous times to reach goals you probably have a very negative view about goal-setting. This view, or belief, will seriously damage any future attempt to reach your desires.

Do we really need to set goals or are we continually setting ourselves up to fail? I’ve long been an advocate of goal setting even if it only helps us to focus our attention on something to achieve rather than wandering aimlessly through our lives. However during one of my moments reflection I had the thought of whether or not we really need goals.
Why do we set goals? That’s easy, to help us achieve a fixed outcome. OK, so why do we set goals and not achieve them? Wow, that’s more difficult; I would say probably because we don’t follow through with our promises and commitments. That’s exactly right.
