Goals do not set themselves and goals will not achieve themselves. It requires effort from the goal-setter. More importantly it requires desire. When we set goals, we are making a commitment to ourselves to be successful. To be successful, we must have the desire to succeed.
The first step in setting a goal is to define it. To define a goal, ask yourself these questions:
- What do I want to achieve?
- Why do I want to achieve it?

After you have answered those questions, then ask yourself, "Is it realistic?"
The single most important aspect of defining a goal is that it be realistic. I could set a goal to take a trip to the moon in a year, but since I am not an astronaut or a major shareholder in SpaceX, then that goal is pretty unrealistic.
As long as a goal is realistic, then it is achievable. The only obstacle to achieving our goals is ourselves. We have a choice of having a mind-set of success or one of failure. It is much easier to fail then it is to succeed. To fail all we have to do is nothing. Just give up. Easy, right?
Goals will sometimes be hard to achieve. The harder they become, the harder we must work to make them successful. We must stay focused and never give up.
Anything worth having is worth fighting for!
