First you need to identify the problem that you want to solve. The purpose of goals is to give you clarity in your life by giving you a direction. You have to know what you are looking for so that you can write down your desires. There are many tools that can help you write down your goals but you really need to choose which ones that work for you.

Write down your goals one at a time. Don't set multiple goals for the same time because you will never succeed. This will cause stress to your life and you won't achieve your goals. Break your big goals into small steps so that you have a sense of accomplishment each time you complete one.

Write down your goals in the morning before you eat your first meal. Make sure that you are not procrastinating when it comes to working on your goals. At the end of the day you will want to be able to read them and remember them. Writing them down helps you focus on them when you get back to sleep.

Make your goal something that will bring enjoyment to your life. If you have a hobby or something that you love to do, write it down. This may mean that you have to give up certain things for the sake of your goal but you will love the outcome when you find out that you were right. Also, don't set a goal for the wrong reasons. If you only care about getting a new job then don't call yourself a goal scrounger because of it.

If you are not sure if you can set specific goals, think about what you love to do and how that would benefit others. Are there skills that you have that others would benefit from? This can be your goal or something that you would like to learn. Think about the possibilities of what you could accomplish. This will help you see if you are capable of reaching your goals.

If you know that you don't know where your goals are going then how are you going to achieve them? You need to be realistic in setting goals. There is no point in setting a goal that is way out of reach. You may feel frustrated and your enthusiasm might be sapped. Write down your goals and see how close you are to achieving them. It is okay to have some dreams that you know won't happen in real life but don't let them hold you back.

Remember that you should set specific goals so that you are making sure that you reach your goal and there are no missed opportunities. By doing this you will be more likely to succeed in life. There is no greater feeling then success. Make sure that you give yourself every opportunity to enjoy success by setting specific goals.

When you set your goals, they have to be achievable. You can't set something for yourself that you know you can't achieve. Don't set yourself goals that are so far out of reach that you will never be able to achieve them. You need to be realistic and you should always think positively. Always keep your goals in your mind, in your plans and always remember to visualize yourself achieving the goal.

Always give yourself some time. Many people have goals set in stone. They feel that they don't have time to put into their goals because they already have so much to do in their lives. If this is the case then you are probably holding yourself back from success.

Set some goals and go for it. If you aren't sure if you can accomplish them then don't set them until you can tell yourself that you can do it. You have to motivate yourself in order to achieve your goals.
