Why in the setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life.Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them reach their vision; by setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal )which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be? Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t ditficult to set -and they aren’t difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals, ideas and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life. And research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.
