Why is it important to set goals in order to succeed in life?
Setting goals is an essential life skill. It is akin to setting your compass before embarking on a cruise. If you didn’t take your compass, how would you know where you would arrive or whether you were on course or not? Metaphorically, many people are travelling through life having never even bought their compasses so they end up bobbing around with little or aim or direction. In today’s society many people seem to be “anti” goal-setting. Maybe this is due to fear of failure, perhaps it’s because they see goals as “greedy” and maybe it’s because they are sick and tired of striving for goals that other’s told them they should go for, Goal setting does not have to be “greedy”” and indeed it should be about all areas of your life not just money! You should set goals that you care about and you should go for them. Failing to set goals and go for them is just failure. Going for goals and not achieving them is learning and experience. Often with goals it’s not about whether you achieved them
