10 Reasons to write down Goals for Yourself

Setting Goals for yourself has so many advantages, however fear of rejection or failure often hold us back. So we keep wishing for a better future and live “with the flow” come what may. We wait for good things to happen to us but don’t want to force the issue in case our hopes are not met.
The challenge here is that having a general idea of your future will never get you anywhere close to a quality of life you desire. Zig Ziglar once said “You can’t hit a target you don’t have see and you will especially never hit a target you don’t have”. Without setting Goals, you will live forever in the world of “I wish”s  or “I could have”s.
If you want to live a life where you are proud of yourself and you wake up excited about your life, you need to start thinking about what specifically it is you want for yourself. Set your decisions in life on purpose and align your choices with the great Goals you have for yourself - because you decide your life is worth it.
