Are Life Goals And Your Life Purpose The Same?
What is goal setting, and just how critical is it to your spiritual health and physical 
life? Life goals are essential for turning the invisible into the visible. So let me ask you what you are doing with your life today. Serious question! But we all take that introverted trip of pondering goals and dreams at some point in our life. One of the questions we think about has to do with why we exist or even why life, itself, exists.
This internal journey usually begins when something has challenged your happiness or even-keeled existence. In most cases, the physical nature of your life, career, home, toys, money, spirituality, relationship, or even your body is threatened in some manner. This brings on stern personal questioning. How do I change what I do not like about myself? Finally, you determine that it may be time to set goals and achieve them.
The Importance Of Goals In Life
Many people, like yourself, have challenges or desires in life and create a list of goals. My goals in life have changed as I moved through my journey. We all have life goals, don’t we? I will ask again, how important are life goals for you? Even if a life goal is not to have a life goal. It sounds weird, but if you think about it, some people swing that way. Then some people lean towards goal setting in business, goal setting for students, or goals in life. Some even have humorous life goals. Here are some hints and examples of life goals setting strategies. Of course, you will need some motivating accomplishing goals quotes to surround yourself with and keep you on track.
What Is Goal Setting And Facts About Goals In Life
How does setting goals lead to success, you may ask? Success revolves around goal setting, no matter what your desired outcome may be. Without goals, you lack the mental compass to get you to where you are going. Having your goals laid out will allow you to create a life map and then monitor your progress. You are the only person that can truly measure your success in life, regardless of what that may be. Remember that success is not just determined by the wealth you have accumulated. So many areas of life are far more important, yet they also take planning.
Goals are fine to ponder, yet you should have a personally formulated system to carry them out. Again just the desire for something will not necessarily make it appear. You may ask about manifestation. You can manifest anything in your life. The Universe is very willing to give you precisely what you ask for. Yet you still need to set the goal and intentions in a specific way. Goal setting is not complex, but creating a system for you to follow may be a way to simplify things.
What Is Goal Setting: How To Set Goals And Achieve Them
Most of you have established some importance in achieving goals in your life. But have you set up a system to do so? Here is a five-step process that may help you do exactly that.
Examine Your Desires… One of the main deterrents to accomplishing anything is the lack of drive and desire to attain it. Suppose you set goals that are important to you; then you more likely to do what it takes to move along the process. Many people let their goals be determined by others, such as peers, friends, or, even worse, the media. The key is to know yourself.
Be SMART About Your Goal Setting... S.M.A.R.T. is a great acronym that coaches use when it comes to effective goal-setting coaching. This stands for:
- Be Specific.
- Make your goal Measurable.
- Ensure that your goals are Attainable.
- Having Relevant goals will make them more important and fundamental to you.
- Last but not least, set a Time for completion. A goal without a set date is just a dream. There is nothing wrong with dreaming; however, many dreams never come true.
Write Your Goals Down… When you write something down, it tends to be more real. The adage ‘show it to me in black and white” when negotiating a contract is a good example. Unless you get it in writing, it may never happen. Make the contract with yourself. Once it is in written form, keep it where you can see it. You then have an accurate visualization that you can look at to re-stimulate yourself. A little trick I learned is to have your goals as your home screen on your computer or cell phone. This way it is always in your face.
As in setting intentions, always use the present and positive terms for your goals. The Universe does recognize no or not. If you want to lose weight, for instance, “I am not going to overeat any longer” is a poor statement. A better statement would be, ” I weigh the perfect weight, XX lbs., and I am healthy and well”.
Plan To Plan Success... Once you have written your goal, jot down a to-do list. As you do each of the different steps, you can cross them off. Do not erase them. Seeing them crossed off will give you a sense of personal accomplishment.
Stick-to-it-ness… as Winston Churchill said, “Never give up!” Things generally don’t happen overnight. they time and many cases, effort. Things also change. Your goal may always remain the same, but your map may change. Sometimes immovable object gets in the way. Don’t despair. Change your approach but don’t succumb to the temptation to flush the successes you have already accomplished. Keep going. Three is nothing as satisfying as setting a goal and experiencing its fruition.
Remember that setting goals are more than just voicing desire. Understanding why goals are 
good for you is pretty important as a first step. They are what drives your life. Goals and life purpose are closely linked. If you have no purpose, what do you have? Now one of the misconceptions that I have found that people work under is that a life goal is just a list of dreams for the future. Not true! “Life purpose,” although it seems to have a deeper meaning, does not alter the fact that you have steps to take to accomplish and play out your many different designs.
You know you should understand the importance of setting goals and objectives. Are you ready to take your first step towards your life accomplishments today?
