The importance of goal setting
Because goal setting is really an activity that brings about
more advantages than disadvantages, it is logical that the concept has its own
set of plusses and merits.
The goal setting activity is the time when one's self is
evaluated and assessed. That is why one importance of goal setting is that it
provides a venue for one to know himself or herself better.
By knowing oneself better, and humbly admitting shortcomings
and realizing talents and skills, one can estimate his or her own capability or
capacity, which, in the long run, would be helpful in other and various aspects
of life.
Another, goal setting would give you something to measure
your progress and would facilitate in evaluating whether you are close or are
far from getting or achieving your ultimate target.
That makes goal setting measurable, and that what makes it
extra helpful and insightful. By measuring progress and development in one
endeavour, you are given the chance to improve and do more when the gauge
indicates there are still more effort needed.
Failure
Another importance of goal setting techniques and measures
is opening you to the possibility of failure.
By being open about the idea, you are made open minded and
receptive to the various and possible causes of pending failures. Thus, when
such comes, you would come prepared for it and accept it more flexibly.
Thinking about potential failure would also enable you to do
better and conduct measures to actually prevent it from coming your way.
Be informed that there are people who do not want to set
their goals because they are afraid of dealing with failures in advance.
Optimism could greatly help, but practicality, truthfulness and being accepting
of the circumstances and the inevitable would also benefit your greatly.
Overall, expected =results would surely be more appreciated
if goal setting is done properly and with utmost care. That is how the activity
bears direct and indirect importance to the actual target goal and to other
aspects of one's life.
