Nobody gets on the road without a destination in mind or shoots with no target in sight. It would be a complete waste of time and energy.
In the same vein, your life should have a destination or a target. Without this, life can be meaningless.
Your goal is the reason why you want to wake up every day. It shows you the picture of the destination you hope to reach and provides you with the motivation to keep moving.
We can see the importance of goals all around us. From sports to academics, there seems to be a reason for everything.
For example, in a football game, the aim is to outscore your opponent in about 90 minutes. Without this goal, it can be challenging to motivate 22 people to keep chasing after a ball.
However, to achieve this goal, a set of rules need to be followed. Participants in the game must understand these rules and abide by them.
The same applies to your life. There are steps to take and instructions to follow on the path to reaching your goal.
When you set a goal for your life, it not only gives you a long-term vision and the motivation to carry on, but it also helps you focus on making the best of available resources.
The new year comes with euphoria and an opportunity to start over, even though it’s just another day.
As you bask in the euphoria of the new year, think about who you want to be when the year comes to an end.
What lessons are you taking from the previous year to apply this year? How do you intend to contribute to society? What things do you plan to do differently?
These are your goals for the year.
See each new day as an opportunity to do things that get you closer to your goal.
Everything is more meaningful with a goal.
Happy New Year! 🥳
