Why is goal-setting important? Because goals can help you do and experience

every meaningful thing you hope for in life. Instead of letting life happen to

you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people have

visions of what their life should be and they set lots of goals, both sbort-term

and long-range, to help them realize the visions. By setting goals you are

taking control of your life. It is like having a map to show where you want to

go. A driver with an aim arrives at the destination without any waste of time or

wrong turns. On the contrary, a driver with no aim drives aimlessly around,

never getting anywhere and just using up gas and oil. Winners in life set goals

and follow through on them. They decide what they want and then get there by

making plans and setting goals. Goals ara not difficult to set and they are not

difficult to reach. It is up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and

visions really are. With a clear direction, and with certain plans, you will

straightly get what you want.

Without a goal, you have to live a

passive life. You do not know where to go, what you want and why you are

listless. Then your life be comes dull and meaningless just like the dead water

in a muddy lake.
