There are many aspects of our lives that require making choices and determining how we invest our time and energy. If we waste the opportunity to organize our limited time and energy resources, we will never experience the happiness and rewards that are within our reach.
Setting goals present a dilemma because we are committing to something that may not be reasonable tomorrow. We may feel that the exclusivity of attention may distract us from other opportunities. We may find ourselves moving in a direction that is not what we envisioned earlier. The good thing is that when we engage in goal setting, we always begin to see things that may not have been evident in a status quo environment. New perspectives and insights will help us, in a iterative process, to set the right goals and make adjustments that take us much further along the path of success.
