Why is it important to set goals in life?

All successful people in this world (successful businessman & athletes, class topper or any other) set their goals. It is better to set a small goal than having no goal.

Setting goals helps you to be more focused in your life or what you want to be because you will know where to invest your energy and your time. Having a goal is like having a map which helps you to lead to your destination.

Goals can be small like leaving a bad habit each month or setting a morning routine or doing exercise regularly. Or they can be big or lifetime goals like becoming a successful businessman, best athlete, get your dream job or a brilliant student.

Setting up a goal also inhibits us from procrastinating by unworthy things around us and we know that these are time wasters. They keep you away from achieving your goals and most of your energy use there.

Setting up a goal can make you a more confident, organized and responsible person. Organize your schedule and set some tasks for your future goals.

If you are setting a lifetime goal which might be quite longer than you should start with the smaller goals, otherwise you will lose your confidence by seeing no progress in it so first set a small goal for yourself which leads to your bigger one. Like setting a goal that you want to be yourself in the next 3 years or 3 months, after achieving your goal in this time reward yourself this will boost your energy and help to sustain the momentum.

Rewarding is the only thing which motivates a person, it makes you more productive and you dwell on positive behavior. Always reward yourself even if you succeed in a small goal.
