We are goal directed beings. We’re always accomplishing something. Which means there is always a reason for what we do. Getting a glass of water, getting drunk; talking about our faith, telling a lie; starting a business, selling a business, or any of millions of possible choices, there’s always a reason why.
Usually, we don’t examine that reason – we don’t even think about it. We don’t do things intentionally.
But, what if we always understood the intent behind our actions? Would we make better choices? I think so.
The implications could be life changing – couldn’t they?
That’s one reason why writing our goals and reviewing them regularly is so powerful. These two actions identify and reinforce our framework and helps guide the selection of what we do daily. Subconsciously, we make better choices. Better choices yield better results.
Writing and reviewing our goals creates a direction for us and frees us from the need to constantly examine the reason behind every action. So, I guess goal-setting is a life skill and a time management skill.
