Motivational Goal Setting

The importance of Goal Setting is highlighted starkly when compared to the New Year’s resolutions that we consistently fail to keep on an annual basis.

The top 5 resolutions are:-

  • Join a gym
  • Give up smoking/alcohol/sugar etc.
  • Save more
  • Eat a healthier diet
  • Read more

As humans, we as a species are hard wired to move away from PAIN and mover towards PLEASURE.

Every single one of our New Year’s resolutions will move us towards pain, and therefore will undoubtedly result in us being unable to become successful in our quest.

Failure must ensue. Making these desperate promises to ourselves absolutely toxic.


Pain = the attempted outcome of struggling to achieve a New Year’s resolution

Pleasure = the outcome of the movement towards achieving a well written goal

Whatever resolution we start off determined to enforce will involve an inordinate amount of stress being placed on our psyche, strength of will, peace of mind, and subconscious reasoning. As we try to enforce whatever lack we need to bring about a successful resolution to the promises we have made ourselves, the pain barriers open.

A self fulfilling prophesy that will always result in pain and failure can be the only outcome of the attempt to bring about lack by giving up something.

Instead, by writing and formatting well-written goals, you will always move towards pleasure.

Three relatively easy steps will move you away from pain and towards a pleasurable outcome. To achieve this all you need is:-

  1. Well Written Goals (short-term = 6mnths, medium-term = 1 yr, long-term = 2 yrs+)
  2. 2. Goals clearly and carefully written, laminated and kept in a safe place
  3. 3. Remind yourself daily of the direction you are heading by looking at these goals

There are plenty of templates, guides and methods on the internet and WA as to how to best achieve this. There are also plenty of reasons that further explain why setting goals are a must if you wish to achieve any amount of success.

As always, the overriding message is you MUST take action.

I hope achieve success in your endeavours

Stay Safe
