The Importance of Goals Setting
No matter what kind of dreams that you wish to achieve, the first step that you need to take is to write it down. Only by writing down your dreams, they will become the goals. If you’re not writing them down, they are just merely dreams. Goal setting has become very common among many people, they know this process is very vital if they want to achieve their target.
You should know the importance of goal setting. Now allow me to tell you a real case study. A few decades ago (Sorry I’ve forgot which year it was), there was a survey carried out in Yale University. The survey was to ask those students who studied there, to write down their goals and what they wanted to do after graduate. And you know what, only around 30% of the students written down their goals, and what they wanted to do after their studies. The rest did not wrote down their goals, for them, whatever will be, will be.
A few years later, they surveyed back those students. And the survey was a shock, because they found out one amazing thing that you never thought to happen. That is, those student who had wrote down their goals, are making much more money than those who did not wrote down their goals. If I’m not mistaken, amount of money is three times higher.
So now you see, goal setting is so important. Did you know why goal setting is important? It is important because if you have a goal, you will know where you are going to. Let me give you an example, when you’re driving, you must know where you want to do. You need to have a destination, a goal, only then you can reach them. What if you don’t have a destination? You will end up nowhere, and it is very dangerous that you may get lost.
In this real world, if you don’t have a goal or a plan, then you will end up in other people’s goal and plan. So, start from now, write down your dreams, make them your goal, then set up your plan. And reach them everyday, soon enough you will find that you are getting more and more closer to your goals.

I just finished a goal setting section on my site (potential2success.com)and the one thing that people don’t seem to get is that if you don’t write your goals down you are allowing doubt, fear, and external obstacles to invade the space of focus that your mind has prepared for that goal. Writing them down is the best way to program your mind so that your thinking is aligned with your goals. Great post. Spread the truth!
