THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF GOAL SETTING, AND ITS MANY BENEFITS

 

Having a goal is essential in the life of every human being. Without a goal, you will not be able to know how far you have to go in life. It is impossible to achieve success without a goal. Therefore, to climb the ladder of success, you must set a goal and stick to that goal.

Mahatma Gandhi believed that "We can change the course of history by staying firm on our goals. Napoleon Hill also talked about the importance of the goal. He put it this way, "Goal is a dream seen with a time limit, for which if a person is ready to put everything at stake, then it will have a day for sure." 

IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF GOAL

Swami Vivekananda describes the importance of a goal in his profound thoughts. "You may make a small goal but you must work hard to achieve that goal and do not stop till that goal is achieved." When you achieve a goal, you get the confidence to make it big.

The importance of goals can also be understood from the story of Mahabharata. Giving the arrow command in Arjuna's hand, Guru Dronacharya asks the same question to Arjuna, tell me what do you see? Arjun says Gurudev I can see the bird's eye. Gurudev asks, don't you see anything else? Arjun says no, Guruji, I can only see my target, I have to hit the bird's eye and only the eye is visible to me. 

 

RECOGNIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

If you are having trouble setting goals, then first of all you should recognize your potential. No one knows you better than yourself. Sit quietly for a while and ask yourself what interests you, and what do wish to achieve with your hard work. When you get the answer, set your goal accordingly.

Man has been called the head of the universe because of his ability. He can lift himself physically, mentally, and spiritually from his present condition. Remember, man is born to be successful. We should aim high and always think about the bigger picture.

You should say firmly--- you are capable of achieving your goal and you have the potential to achieve success. Keep repeating until you achieve your goal.

BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE

To stay firm on your goal, you have to increase your self-confidence. You have to increase your confidence to such an extent that no matter how much people tell you that you cannot achieve your goal, you have to believe in yourself. To increase your confidence, you have to be encouraged and for this, you must read about successful people. Books unravel many truths and help us know how hard people worked to achieve their goals. Whenever you meet such people or get a chance to hear them, never miss such opportunities to learn from them.

Achieving a goal is not that easy. Man is the slave of circumstances. Sometimes circumstances change the goal. But only those people who can take advantage of their goals, who sometimes fail, but restart with hard work and dedication. It is very important to remember one thing here. Don't blame others for failure. Consider it your own weakness. This makes the road to success easier.

Peace is also necessary for success. Success will not be permanent without peace. Life can be beautiful only when there is peace along with success. If there is no peace and there is a lot of success in life, then life will be ugly.

FOCUS AND DEDICATION ARE THE KEY INGREDIENTS TO MEETING YOUR GOALS

Focus, dedication, discipline, and consistency are the key ingredients that bring us closer to our goals. When you are dedicated to completing a task and put in repeated efforts, you master that task. Dedication means complete devotion. Whenever you interact with a famous successful personality, try to ask them the mantra behind their success. The first answer that will come up is that they were dedicated to their goal.

Similarly, focus also has its importance. It is a valuable ability that helps individuals to accomplish their goals. As you sharpen your focus on your goals, your positive thoughts and actions will attract universal forces toward you. 

Self-discipline is an important attribute, which makes us reach our goals and achieve greater heights of success and achievement. It is a continuous practice that helps you to have proper control over your thoughts, actions, behavior, impulses, and emotions. Let us be mindful of self-control and work on it daily.

Consistency is massively important because it allows you to focus on what you want. Start by determining how you want to be more consistent in your life, and aim for these small goals. Over time, as you become more consistent, keep yourself motivated and accountable. According to Ryan Mitchell Rios and Mark Atalla, consistency in your efforts leads to self-discipline, teaches you self-control, improves your overall personality, and builds momentum. “When you are consistent, you have a sense of accountability and direction that translates to progress,” asserts the two entrepreneurs.

To live in this world, it is necessary to have a plan or a goal to make life. There are billions of things that you can do, but first, you have to set your goals. That way you will have infinite possibilities of what you want to achieve. As Bill Copeland says, when you don’t set goals, you can spend your whole life running up and down and not achieve anything. Coaches, motivators, teachers, and authors tell you that you have to set goals so that you have a direction in life. When you have a goal, you feel that you are moving toward a destination that is important to you, and this makes you feel happier, safer, stronger, and more confident.
