Goals 9/20-9/27

Sorry that this is a day late...

Why do we set goals for ourselves?  Is it to motivate ourselves, or is it to satisfy the expectations of others?   We would all hope that goals are set to motivate one’s self.  One should set goals for themselves in all of their endeavors.  Whether it be short-term goals such as a physical activity, or grades in school, goals are important so you can get what you want in life.  Those lead to long-term goals, such as college or even a job.  The intensity and frequency at which one should set goals for themselves is often life changing, and is always necessary.  However, if one sets goals for themselves just to satisfy others, it could be detrimental to their future.  If one only attempts to get good grades for their parents, they won’t be able to do things for themselves in the future.  So remember, always set goals for yourself, and the rest should fall into place.
