They determine our direction and illuminate the road as we travel through our career journey. Putting some serious thought into the selection of our goals and tailoring them to be our very own is time extremely well spent.
Psychologists say there are at least three levels of goals.

They are the universal, comprehensive, somewhat abstract yearnings that are preprogrammed in us. Our desire for safety, security, acceptance, love and absence of pain are examples.
