Goals for Life

Gain confidence knowing dreams can become reality, if you have a system of accountability. The mechanics and why’s of goal setting are topics of discussion. For years we have heard about the importance of goals, yet, how many of us really have them. Many believe in and have been told that we should set goals, but in reality, were never truly sold on the concept of goal setting for one of four reasons. Have you ever wondered why most people are full of dreams and end up with wishes that never come true? The “I wish” syndrome is a Dream stealer. Why? Accountability! The only way we can truly succeed is when we establish timelines for goals that we deem are critical to our accomplishments and have the necessary steps to accomplishing that desired dream mapped out.
