 All About Goal Setting
● “Goals represent the decisions we make and the commitments we take in
order to reach attainment, break some bad habits, adopt useful habits or
achieve more in different areas of life. Goals enable us to achieve focus in life
by helping us to determine what we want. They keep us motivated and
propelled, constantly putting us in state of action” (Ho).
● Goals, when paired with good systems and action steps, can help you move
forward in life and accomplish what you want to.
● Goals also help you by providing you with an ending destination so that you
have a vision to work towards and a reason to better yourself every day.
● While goals are great, they do not work without everyday systems in place to
help you maintain and achieve them.
● A goal without action is just a dream.
