Goal Setting

 

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. ~Zig Ziglar

 

Goals are the every day tasks that we do to take us ahead in life. Goals give our dreams and vision life. Without goals, our dreams and vision would not become a reality. I found that in my life, goal setting is what was missing. Every single day, I was spending a lot of time procrastinating and wondering why I wasn’t getting anything done. I had to make a change in my time settings so that I can accomplish goals that I have in mind for myself.
