The beginning of achieving resounding results.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“The trouble with not having a goal is that<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you can spend your life running up and<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

down the field and never score.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a little bit clich\u00e9 to talk about how important setting goals are if one must achieve any significant success in his\/her life endeavors.\u00a0 But then, that\u2019s the thing about clich\u00e9s. They are clich\u00e9s for a reason – they are almost always true.\u00a0 And even if they have been used over time, it still doesn’t invalidate the truism in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are in the beginning of a new year, 2024. One good thing about New Years is that it comes\u00a0with another opportunity to dream again, to start afresh, and look out for new opportunities to make things happen,\u00a0 so yes… we shall still talk about setting personal goals because they are a surefire way of achieving resounding results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people do not set defined goals for themselves.  So, it’s a little wonder why there aren’t a lot of highfliers in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, a goal is basically the desired result to which one puts an effort to achieve. Personal goals cannot be crammed into one neat definition because their meaning is as different as the individuals who set it. It is essentially action steps you take towards the things you want to achieve and the efforts you put into achieving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal setting is what gives you purpose and guidance in life as well as the first step into achieving one\u2019s dreams. It is the road map to your desired results, and ultimately what differentiates the go-getters and the daydreamers. Yes, because a dream without a goal is mere fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
