The Nature of Goals
Day after day we hear people talking about goals and that we need to use them to find success. This is true whether success is measured in money, possessions, relationships or health. We've heard it so much that we simply take it for granted. We get jaded. "Yeah I know... goals schmoals!"
I've found this attitude comes from not really understanding goals. Goals are simply waypoints on your map to success. They let you know that you are on track. As a whole, a string of goals shows you the destination. Individually however, they don't tell you where you're going. On the other hand if you try to view all of your goals at once you get overwhelmed and end up forced into inaction.
Finally, goals are not action. They ARE actionable items though. If the string of goals don't include action steps, then you may need to refine those goals into something with action built in.
Goals are great but without purpose and action they don't amount to anything but an intellectual exercise.
