Why You’ll Always Be Stuck If You Don’t Set Goals
Without a vision, there is no direction. Without a goal, there is no hope of success.
At the time of writing this, I have seven more sessions with my personal trainer. After working out with him and learning more about how my muscles work, getting stronger and healthier in the process, I’m reflecting on my time with him.
And one part of this reflection is whether I hit the goals that I set out to do in the first place.
While that answer is no, the question made me realize how much that goal was set on the back burner.
It’s only a weight loss goal, but for the past few months it felt like I was just going to the gym and not thinking much about it.
I lacked a specific direction despite having a workout routine that was suitable to me.
This whole thought process got me on to the tangent of why so many people coast through life. Whether it’s with personal health, financially, relationships, or general habit building.
At the end of the day, goals are an essential tool for our growth. Without them, you don’t have a vision of where you want to go in life. Without them, your odds of success diminish.
