Do you set and stick to your goals? What goals have come to life?

Yes!! I think part of having a fulfilled life is having goals, even if you're internally motivated, because if you have nothing in the future planned to look forward to, it's easy to get lulled into mediocrity or to slack off - or even get sad, depressed, and unsatisfied. That makes it easier to be negative and a downer around others, which is not healthy for anybody. I always tell my fellow active moms and other members of my running/fitness groups that the best thing they can do is sign up for something so they have a goal. It is easier to keep moving forward if you have that race or event. It also is a great idea to make a plan, whether that's a big collage with your goals mapped out in pictures, a corkboard with various words pinned on it, a puzzle your kids help you make, a list in your phone or on your computer, whatever you use - it's important to have a well marked path of 'how to get there'. I have definitely met quite a few goals, some of them even on accident lol. I believe almost anything is possible but I don't always plan for the possibility becoming a reality - ie the Boston thing lol.

I set goals but whenever it unachievable I dont get depress like some people , I juts move on and set another . I am currently now settings come small goals and I spend a lot of time trying to make them come through in a certain time and I hope they do at my desire time . I am not alone in my goals so we never let each other forget , we always have it in the back of our mind even when we seems like we forgot . I have set a lot of goals and one was to get m degree , I did that and I will continue to follow up it until I am fully satisfied with it and then I can close that chapter and begin a new one.

I have started a goal to put Atleast $500 away in savings every month. So far it's working out nicely.

I think that it is very important to be able to set goals in your life, because at the end of the day you always need something that you are able to work towards. I know that at the moment one of the things that I am trying to do is to save up money to be able to afford a flat, and because of that I am very motivated to get my work done because I know that if I do it I am taking steps towards the things that I have to do in order to reach my goal. Life would be very dull if you didn't have a goal to work towards.

Life does have some substance if one has something to work towards. I know, for a lot of us, it is easier said than done. I know this personally as I cannot concentrate on any goals right now. There is too much stuff happening, and it is coming from multiple directions. The simplest thing that I wanted for myself lately is a little bit of time to myself, but I have learned that it is not possible, without some distraction interfering. Also, because I have found myself in such a massive hole, and my primary goal is to get out of it, however I can. Depression seems to overwhelm any positive thoughts, or forward progress.

daily when i wake up i set new goals for myself but when the day ends i forget about them, i guess i have a bad habit of not staying consistent to one aim :(

I have to set goals, otherwise I won't have anything to achieve. I believe in setting goals because its important to know what you are shooting for, goals can be anything from a list of what needs to be done to a financial goal. Fail to plan, plan to fail. Life does get in the way but life can be your goal, each day is a new day to get closer to your goal. I usually set goals that I can achieve for three months, that way I feel like I get more done in a shorter period of time.
