Why Set Goals?

Tweet

just what to share with you my lotters one of the topics in this book. the Andrew Matthews' million seller book on Being happy. Happiness in a Nutshells. why set goals? sometimes we pick up the newspaper and read where an accountant has just rowed across the Atlantic in a bathtub, or where a librarian is riding a camel from LA to New York. we might ask ourselves, "why not take a plane?" the answer to that is, "if you travel by bathtub or camel, you arrive a whole different person to the one that left". Not only do you reach your destination knowing a lot more about stars and weather and navigation - you know a lot more about yourself, and about your own courage and capabilities. buying a plane ticket doesn't have the same effect. likewise, when you set a goal to run a business or a marathon, when you set a goal to get a degree or a promotion, or to learn Chinese, you arrive a different person to the one that started. that's what "goals" are really about - what they make of us in the process of achieving them. that's why we bother. your friends and your brother-in-law won't always understand this concept! In a Nutshell We set Goals not for what we GET, but for what we BECOME. How about you? how do you set goals? your response is highly much appreciated. :)
