Goals are an important method for achieving.

"If you don't know where you want to go, any road will take you there."

People tend to think that goals are by and large, difficult, overarching, and overbearing. They don't have to be.

A goal can be as simple as "I'd like to be in Times Square to meet a friend at 3:00pm." Breaking that down, you know where you want to be and what time. The next thing is to figure out the means of how to accomplish such a goal. Sometimes it's a matter of resources, that being time or money. Others it's a matter of expertise.

I stopped making goals in my late 20s because I accomplished my goals I wanted to accomplish at 30 early. I decided to try my hand at not making far reaching goals, but to live a little more on the edge of spontaneity. I accomplished even more but did not have a cohesive and comprehensive end result.

My addition to these idea of goals is make small ones and make large ones. Make attainable ones and unattainable ones.

Practice with the small and attainable, and work at the large and unattainable.

One of the problems many have with goals is they don't really know or want the goal that they picked. They wanted something that was really along the way. A tool to help you figure that part out is a smll sheet of paper, (remember you should have written down the goal first as suggested by BG) is the Criteria For Success. Sometimes we don't know what the goal really truly is. It's not as cut and dry as a map destination. When that is the case, the CFS helps define what the goal really is. It helps make you the goal setter know and understand when you've hit the mark, or completed the goal.
