Have you ever wondered why you set specific goals for yourself? Why do you want to accomplish a certain goal?

Is it for the outcome? Is it for the recognition? Is it to prove something to yourself? Is it for someone else?

Figure out why you’re working towards a specific goal. Evaluate if you’re doing it for yourself or for other people. 

Deep down some of your goals are more about appeasing other people. 

You probably took that job because your parents told you it was a good idea. You went to college because that’s the way you get a job. You bought that house because you’ve been told it’s the best move.

Are you doing what you want to do or are you following the directions of others?

Make sure that your goal is based on your dreams not someone else’s expectations of you.

Your goals should be about what you want to accomplish. Don’t worry about anyone else.

What is it that you truly want and why?

Understanding why you have specific goals is the crucial step. You may start to realize that your goals aren’t based around your true beliefs or desires.

Write down one goal you want to accomplish by the end of the year and a few reasons why that’s your goal. Then, write down what it would mean for you to accomplish that goal.
We all have goals for the most part. It’s about prioritizing your goals over other people’s goals for you.

Figure out what you’re truly striving for; your one main mission. Then accomplish small goals that relate to your ultimate dream and don’t stop until you get there.

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” -Confucius
