Study have shown that if you want to achieve something you want in your life, be it money, love, happiness, cars, whatever it is, the only thing you need to do is this, set your goals. Without a goal, you are not going to achieve anything.

Our mind will act on autopilot mode if you do not have a goal today. What you think in your mind will be reflected in your life. If you are poor today, it is because you have a poor mindset, you don't have a goal that attracts money for you. The same thing if you are sad everyday. It is because you don't have any goals that lead you to the happiness that you want in your life.

In fact, achieving your goals is one of the things that can make you happy. This is because you have achieved the results that you wanted. Well if goal setting is so important and it can help us achieve anything we want in our life, why does not everyone set goals? You have to understand, not everyone knows about the power of goal setting, even if they knew about it, they will still doubtful and never really set their goals.

For most people, they thought that goal setting is something like thinking about having a happy life, thinking about getting rich and so on. However, this is the wrong way of setting goal. A goal is something specific, achievable, have deadline and must be written down. If you do not write down your goals today, you are just dreaming about achieving the things you want.

Did you know that everything in our life happens twice? The first time it happens in a person's mind, and then the second time will be in reality. Take a look at your mobile phone. If nobody has this idea of a communicating device as small as your palm, will there be any of the mobile phone exist today? Even the monitor screen you are looking at right now, it was once the idea in somebody's mind, and then through the power of goals, they make it in reality, which becomes the monitor screen that you are looking at right now.

Can you see how powerful goal setting can be now? If you don't have a goal today, it can be very dangerous. This is because you don't know you are heading, your life will be purposeless; you are just following the currents of life.

One more thing that most people misunderstand about goal setting is this; they thought that once they have set their goals, they will achieve them without having to pay for anything. Think about it, if you set your goal today, but you did not take any action to achieve it, will it come automatically to you?

Goal setting is something that can help you to stay focused in your life, achieving your goal is all about taking small steps each and everyday, successful is something you cannot achieve without goal setting.

I believe that you can see the big picture now. Without having a clear and specific goal, your life will be dangling in nowhere, just like a floating plank of wood in the river of life. You will follow the current of the river, and hit anything in your way. So start to get your goals from now on, and take the first step to achieve your goals. Remember, a journey of a thousand leagues start from a single step.
