Why Goals + Creativity= Success
I thought goals were stupid and took the enjoyment out of life until very recently. I used to think that just wanting to be consistent with doing something challenging would be enough to motivate me to do it.
I think deep down it was because I was scared of not hitting my goals. Of failing.
Goals are important because they give you something concrete to work towards. I'm a very curious thinker type person and I often get sidetracked by interesting things. These could be articles on subjects I'm interested in or watching soccer endlessly :) This isn't a bad thing but the distraction still takes me away from important tasks and responsibilities.
I have a feeling many people on Steemit are also curious creators like myself. But I think everyone needs that discipline mixed with creativity. That hard backbone that allows you to drive through the boring work to get to a better place.
If we can set concrete goals that are difficult, we can push ourselves to new heights that we never thought we could reach.
Goals are an amazing tool. I highly recommend sitting down and setting goals for important areas of your life.
Even if you start with one goal for one area of your life. You'll see a difference if you can follow through and achieve. I promise.
Goal setting is super important to help keep us on track. It is no coincidence that some of the most "successful" people in life are very goal driven (some checking in daily).
The one caveat is that some people can get so goal driven that you can't help but think that life is passing them by! Like anything, it is about moderation and goals should at least help us "less driven" folk ensure we put work into the stuff that needs to get done!
PS Which soccer team do you support?
I agree with you again Steve. Goals combined with moderation and a fluid mind= BOTH happiness and success :)
ARSENAL COME ON YOU GUNNERS! You?
Awh no, now we disagree - Man Utd (sorry)!!!!
@stevelivingston you broke my heart. My least favorite team hands down.
Sir Alex Ferguson ruined so many weekends for me growing up
Oh dear, sorry! I can't say the same as I actually quite like arsene wenger. Have a lot of respect for him.
@stevelivingston he needs to go
Ha! That's probably why I like him ;)
Setting difficult goals for important areas of our live is really a driving force for achievement.... Nice piece
Thanks Abby! Achievement makes humans happy...it's a fact!
I prefer processes. ) I don't know, where i shall come, but i can go. And I know, when i'm going my way, when i'm doing something else. ))
Good post
Every one should have goals in their life. No one can achieved with out goal. You have described all in a great manner. Thank you for the way you have described.
