Success magazines are laden with them. Goals are very personal which is not overly evident from the above examples. The Socceroos spend five minutes congratulating one another with an abundance of hugging after one of their boys rifles the ball into the net for that ever elusive goal. We know they're important. It's just why they're important doesn't seem quite clear.
Goals set by others can be only for themselves.
They are a personal milestone which means an awful lot to the person setting it. From the same standpoint setting yourself a goal or a list of goals is important to you and you alone. Goals - firstly and foremostly agree not dreams. They may have been born as dreams but you have developed them into something which is of vital importance to you. Something, which is today, very close to your heart.
