Setting goals in life gives us a definite road map that guides us to our hopes and dreams. They serve as an action plan you can follow to get what you really want to achieve in life. Once you write your goals down, they become real. You have created something new. They give you a visual guide and reminder of what we want in our life, giving us a measurable plan to track the progress we make as we go.
