The Importance of Working Towards Your Goals for Happiness & Success

 Have you set goals for your future success? If you haven’t, you could be missing a huge opportunity to find your happiness. Not knowing where you want to be in life can leave you drifting aimlessly and navigating on autopilot. Instead, you can take charge of your life and your happiness when you set some simple objectives for what you want out of life. Matter of fact, goal setting is one of the first things we look at in my monthly online membership, A Pilgrimage to Self because once you reflect on all the major areas of your life, you are able to clarify places for improvement. Read on to discover some of the key benefits of goal setting and how you can get started.

Clear Intentions

Goals provide you with a clear intention of what you want to achieve and how you plan to obtain it. Living intentionally can be quite empowering. It gives you more control over your life...the one life you have to live. You gain confidence with each new objective met. Knowing you can change or modify things as you go along will help to keep you on track toward what you truly desire, and it lets you know you can be flexible. Nothing is set in stone. The direction you take is up to you...remember, you want to live an Intentional Life.

Efficient Use of Resources

Resources like time, money, and energy are not in endless supply. You know you need to use them wisely in order to get the most out of what you have. Goal setting will help you to do just that. You’ll have a road map that will help you to plan and organize for your intended destination, if you will. You’ll get the most out of your resources, as well as save yourself quite a bit of frustration and stress when you set time-bound goals and work strategically to achieve them. We talk about the Japanese strategy of Kaizen in A Pilgrimage to Self because it's effective in helping your achieve your goals. 

Evidence of Progress

Setting goals allows you to track your progress and see the strides you’re making. Without a plan, you’re simply drifting through life hoping to get where you’d like to go. When you set concrete and measurable goals, you’re able to make adjustments when you see that things are going off track. You can celebrate milestones and actually see each small success along the way. Goals are powerful motivators and improve your chances of success greatly.

These are merely some of the benefits of goal setting. You can choose goals that are customized for your career and personal life. New goals can always be added as you accomplish past milestones. When you’re strategic and intentional about your life’s trajectory, you’re more likely to be happy and fulfilled along the journey.
