Success in any field of endeavor requires us to aim for something specific and tangible — something that’s outside the confines of our comfort zone. These targets form the foundations of our goals and shape all our decisions and actions.

It’s important to mention that everything we have discussed thus far impacts your goals. In other words, the goals you choose to set and pursue are a direct outcropping of the person you have become over a lifetime of experience. This essentially means that if you were any different, then your goals would also be different.

The process of setting a goal is straightforward but can be quite involving. We must first consider whether our goals are congruent with our values, beliefs, lifestyle, etc. We must determine whether they are ecological. We must also identify potential obstacles and the resources we have on hand to help us manage these challenges. Finally, goal setting also requires building a supportive environment that is aligned with the goals we seek to achieve.

Conflicts in any one of these areas will likely sabotage your progress as you work toward your goals.
