As a child, the goal was to avoid conflict at home. On the surface this may have been a non-important goal, but it ultimately afforded me growth and learned-independence. It allowed me time to think, reflect, problem solve, create and set loftier goals for my life. I would add that setting goals is also an accounting of who we are and what our needs are in order to step through to the next rung in self-development.
As an adult, I realized goals had a myriad of levels and very often intermingled with our perceptions of our selves, our dreams and necessity of life.
Without question, setting and achieving goals is wholly personal and a self-fullfilling prophecy of future happiness.
There is nothing like letting those unfulfilled goals pile up! Over time they get to be quite a heavy weight to carry around.
