Goal setting and attaining to achieve it is a sure road to becoming successful in life.

What then is goal setting?

Goal setting is the process of defining a specific and measurable target that you want to achieve. It involves identifying what you want to accomplish, setting a timeline for achieving it, and determining the steps you need to take to reach your goal.

Effective goal setting requires that you be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). This means that your goal should be clear and well-defined, with a measurable outcome that you can track. It should be realistic and achievable given your current resources and constraints, and it should be relevant to your overall priorities and values. Finally, it should have a specific timeline for completion, with intermediate milestones along the way to help you stay on track.

The process of goal setting can be very helpful in guiding your actions and decision-making, as it helps you stay focused on what you want to achieve and gives you a clear roadmap for reaching your destination. It can also help you stay motivated and engaged, as you can see your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment as you work towards your goals.
