Setting Goals

Russel M. Ballard a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints stated, "I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don't set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential." Each day of our lives we have the capacity to do so much. However, if we don't have a goal for what we want to accomplish that day we can go to bed while having done nothing significant. When we have goals, we are conscious of what exactly we are doing with our time and we will be happier.

Daily goals are important because they are a building block for our life. In order for them to be more effective, we must shape our daily goals so that they build us into a long term goal for ourselves. Just like it was easy in former times to get lost at sea if you didn't focus on the north start, it is easy for us to get lost if we don't remain focused on our goals. If everyday we have daily goals that lead towards our long term goals, we will be able to look back at our lives and realize how much we grew in our lives.
