Goals
Goals are empowering. They give us the strength to persevere even through the most difficult situations. Our lives are enriched when we live with a purpose!
Possessing a goal provides a person with something for which to strive. He has a target and destiny awaiting his arrival. Goals give our lives meaning and a reason to continue moving forward. The man with something to live for lives longer. Therefore, we need to set goals, if only to live a long and productive life.

I have goals, but my deadlines keep getting pushed back. I'd like to be on one of those balloons!
A wonderful inspiring G post.
Goals as you say are essential in life,something to strive for and eventually achieve is a wonderful thing.
Happy Easter.
Yvonne.
I love setting goals! I set goals for everything.
Agreed. It doesn't matter if those goals change and adapt - but to keep moving forward, we need to have them :)
Love the picture....I assume the goal is to stay up.
I have a love/hate relationship with goals. I love to set them but I hate it when I can't accomplish them.
I try to get this across to my students all the time. We all need them.
...fulfilling our goals is how our work ends up on store shelves.
Great choice ;)

Yvonne, my deadline had been moved so many times I might as well make it for five years from now.
Elliot, that is true.
I want a long life!
Woo Hoo, I'm 600. Surely that's somebody's goal.
Agreed. I need goals even if something happens that slightly changes them.
It took me a long time to realize the importance of having specific goals and planning to achieve them. That was not something that was stressed as I was growing up and I didn't learn it in school.
Farawayeye, it was mine. Thank you.
Maryann, and that's something kids should be taught in school.
soooo true!
i really need to work on written out set goals!
Goals are also what you get
when you put the puck in the hockey net. ~ Bear
Goals are targets at which to aim. Now that I'm retired, I'm a lot more flexible with my goals. Perhaps I should go back to writing them out, and checking them often.
Well, maybe.
I am constantly checking my goals against my purpose to make sure that I'm not caught up in trying to do something which doesn't really enrich the planet.
This is a great G post!
Hi Diane. Great G post. Just bought a copy of your book, Overcoming Obstacles With Spunk!, for my Kindle for PC. Look forward to reading it.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
Thanks for the post as I need to sit down and revise my goals. Going to do that tomorrow with wifey.
Great reminder that I need to set myself some goals! I have all sorts of things I need to do, but I need to write them down and focus!
Love the balloons. I have plenty of goals and now, I need to go find the discipline and dead lines to achieve them. Dah-dum-dum.
I think you have hit on what I am missing - goals. Great blog.
I don't think we'd get anywhere without goals.
Having a goal increases motivation which is vital for writers. Love this post, Diane.
