Why Do You Need to Set Life Goals Setting life goals is an important way to stay on track and make the most out of your life. Making a list of your life goals and revisiting it every year, making the proper adjustments, can help you be more focused on what you want in life and become more self-aware. It forces you to take time each year to sit down and focus on yourself, thinking about what you want in your life, gives you a way to track your progress, and also provides you with a tangible object to hold you accountable (similar to a contract). How to Set Life Goals There are a number of ways to go about...
