Every once in a while we are asked what our goals in life are. People, teachers, family, friends always put forward this question and sometimes we ask ourselves. Life is meaningless when you head in a journey without the goal or destination in mind. Having goals in life starts the journey of life. Living life is a goal in itself. Everyone who set foot on this planet has a goal that he/she wants to accomplish. These goals are their motivating factor, their reason to live. Setting goals comes with experience. People believe with goals in mind and effort towards it, everything is possible. But some tend to forget that the goals set must be realistic and achievable. People sometimes set their goals at a very high level. These goals just end up as dreams or fantasies and not reality. We must appreciate the human spirit that heads out to achieve the impossible. Life is about the journey, but the true satisfaction is attained only when you reach your destination. Setting a sensible and achievable goal only gives you the satisfaction in life. Here are 3 reasons why you should set achievable goals in life.
1. To stay away from doubts
When you set a goal that is impossible to reach, doubt creeps into your mind. Your purpose of life loses its value. With doubt lingering in your mind always, about the direction your life is heading to, you tend to give up on your goals. You doubt yourself and consider yourself weak for not reaching the goal. There is a certain stage in your journey where doubt takes over you. Dreams are shattered and all hope is lost. Hence, you must set such goals that are easy to achieve and which strengthen your confidence.
2. To stay away from guilt
You start to blame and punish yourself if you are unable to achieve a goal. A state where you cannot forgive yourself arrives. It seems, the reason for living was never met. Though the effort to get there was true, you will not be in a state to appreciate yourself for working in the direction your heart desired. The spirit in you dies.
3. To stay away from failure
With your entire life dedicated to this goal and with no desired goal, it shatters your appreciation in your work. Though you put in a lot of effort and heart into it, you end up being far away from what you desired. It is hard to handle failure when you have spent your entire life working only on your dream and in the end, it just doesn’t happen. Hence, you must set your eyes on achievable goals so as to succeed in life.
