We all hear about the importance of setting goals but do you do it?
Why or why not?
Is it the lack of discipline?
Is it that it is not that important to you?
Or is it that you may not reach your goals anyway, so why even bother?
If you set goals that are tangible and attainable and not a pie-in-the-sky wish, then you do have the ability to reach them, create a track record of success, and develop your goal setting muscle.
Our olympians were not born with the ability to be the best at their chosen sport. They had to start with small goals first. As they achieved smaller goals they stretched to slightly bigger then bigger until world records were made then broke.
If you don’t have the disciple or the habit of setting goals, is it worth the reward to develop the discipline? I say it is. I have seen it time and time again.
Answer these questions:
How is it serving you to not set goals?
How would your life be changed if you did?
Assignment:
Try setting daily goals that you know you can accomplish. Make them simple, attainable, and most importantly, make a commitment to achieve your goal for that day. This will build your confidence, create a habit, and build your goal setting muscle.
You could be the next Olympian in what you do!
