Goal setting may seem like a “to-do list” to some people especially when it is a daily-basis goal setting. The fact is that goal setting is not a to-do list. Goals are changes or improvement you would like to see in your life.

We all know that how difficult it is to change our behaviour. We may continue to be unhappy with our life if we are reluctant to change our behaviour. How can we expect our lives to improve unless we make changes. 

How should you go about improving your life then? Well, the first thing that you need to do is to use goals to help identify the changes you can make in your behaviour in order to improve your life. 

There are things that you can control as well as things that you cannot control. The fact is that there are many things that we have no control in our lives such as our past, death, weather, traffic, taxes, other people’s behaviour and so on.

Things that we can control in our lives are our behaviour and our future. Thus, it is so important for us to recognise the areas we can control as well as we cannot control. It is no point spending our time and energies focusing on those areas that we cannot control. 

Rather, we should channel all our energies to concentrate on those things that we can control. We will see our lives start improving, things are getting better and we are happier.

From this, you can see that the beauty of setting goals is that they help you improve all areas of your life. Reason being that setting goals will get you thinking about the things you can change and lead you to ideas on how to make those changes. 

So, take action now to make changes in your behaviour if you want to improve your life.
