“People with goal succeed because they know where they are going” by Erl Nightingale

In today topic we are going to discuss about Why is it important to set a goal in our career. Setting a goal is the biggest problem in our life this is why we failed in all the field (ex. financial goal, fitness goal, relationship goal, work goal etc.) we don't know how much money I need to save to make a happy life , we don't know which food we need to eat to get good health , we don't know what we need to talk when we are in bad or any relationship, we don't know what kind of job is suitable for me. To make all this things with good in our life we must have goals .This is why setting a goal is most important in our life to get success in all area.

Setting a goal can be easy here are 7 reasons why it is important to set a goal.

1- To direction to the life.

While it can be fun to live without direction in the short-term, in the long-term human beings are wired to need a purpose and direction. Goals give a sense of direction and purpose to life.

For example you go out from your home and get a taxi then taxi driver ask you where you want to go if you don't know where you are going for sure taxi driver will never take you. Same goes with our life is we don't know where we are going then at the end we will end up with big tragedy. So Setting a goal gives us a direction that where we are going by the goal so we can reach to our destination.

2- To make sure we are the one choosing the direction of our life- not others, not fate, not the media, etc.

It is often easy to let others set our direction for us. We take a job because family or friends point us in that direction and then we follow the dictates of our bosses. We move in other directions because popular culture or the media tells us to do so. The simple truth is that if we do not set our own goals then we will find it too easy to follow a path set by others. This can lead to stress and unhappiness. We have a greater chance of happiness and fulfillment following our own path and pursuing our own goals.

3- To Motivation

While goals certainly give our lives direction, they also provide the motivation to get us through difficult times and choices. Perhaps going to college at night while working full-time may be stressful and difficult in the short-term, but in the long run being able to pursue the professional goals we desire will make it worthwhile.

4- To make sure we get what we want from life

Goals also serve as the destination for what we really want out of life. For some people, goals are measured in money or material goods, while for others goals are measured in time or freedom. If we do not have goals outlined that suit our unique perspective on life it is easy to become sidetracked by life and others.

5- To save time

Just as goals save time they also reduce stress because using your goals to focus your life and choices makes it easier to make those choices. Should you take that new position at work? How does it match your goals? How it will affect to your goal. Whatever you do with a solid reason and it should connect to your goal so by this you save your time to do some worthful activities.

6-To reduce stress

Finally, goals give you a measurable sense of accomplishment. Every goal you achieve, in fact every step you make toward that goal, can give you a boost of energy and momentum to keep going. Each success powers you toward the next level of success.

7- To give a sense of accomplishment

Finally you can give yourself as an accomplishment of successful goal.
