ART OF GOAL SETTING - IV

ART OF GOAL SETTING - IV

Goal setting is all about what you want to become. We all have dreams. What could we do without dreams ? Dreams make us grow and go beyond our limits. Dreams inspire us to extend our limits. Convert your dreams into goals.

Why do so many of us never achieve our goal setting plans? Possibly because we never quite know, what we want or where we are going in life. Or if we do know what we want, we don’t really believe in our capability to achieve it. Goal setting can be taught to anyone who is willing to learn how to do it. However, that burning desire that comes from within – our belief in ourselves, will ultimately determine whether our goal setting plans will be achieved or not. To truly be successful, and reach your true potential, you must constantly push yourself to move outside of your “comfort zone”.
