So sit down and write down everything you want from and out of life until day you die. These are your ultimate goals. Now right down everything you want within next 10 years. These are your intermediate goals. Now do same for next 5 years. These are your shorter term goals. Now do same for next year. These are your short term goals.

You will never achieve your ultimate goals as these are just dreams, without setting shorter term goals to make your dreams a reality. This is where so many people go wrong. You have to set goals on a daily, weekly and yearly basis to achieve your long term objectives.

The reason for goal setting is simple. Without goals, you simply drift. People drift into unsatisfactory relationships, unsatisfying and poorly paid jobs and spend their lives looking at successful people, wondering how they do it. On most basic level, it's possible to set goals just for one day and achieve more than you ever thought possible, in form of a simple "To Do" list - where you list all of things you need to get done and cross them off as you achieve them.

Goal setting is a very powerful technique that can improve all areas of your life. The process of setting goals and targets allows you to choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know what you have to concentrate on and improve, and what merely a distraction is. Goal setting gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. It helps to focus your acquisition of knowledge and helps you to organise your resources.

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in achievement of those goals. You can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind.

So get into habit of goal setting. Your long term prospects depend upon it.
