It is considered "good form" when a person has a purpose in life. Such people are called purposeful, they are often called role models, able to achieve what they want. So is it really important to have a goal in life and achieve it, or is it possible to live perfectly well without it?

To each his own

There are people who are used to setting goals and achieving them. This was facilitated by their upbringing. Let's say they just can't help but set goals. Their parents encouraged them to do this and the dedication was important factor to obtain parental approval. Now, if they don't set goals, they will disappoint their parents. And, this is what we, even after many years after childhood, allow ourselves only in the most exceptional cases.

On the other hand, there is a category of people opposite to such purposeful people. They are irritated by the rigid regulations of life formed by the goal, and very often they despise people who are capable of systematically setting and achieving goals. Obviously, for them setting goals will be something completely unbearable, practically, a crime against their personal nature.

And, of course, there is the most numerous group about which we can say that they are capable of setting goals, do not feel delighted with this, but recognize that sometimes it is important, and are capable of systematic efforts to achieve these goals. Let's say they can, there would be a desire.

Substitution of goals, or I don't know what I want

Can you say you know who you are? So, if you really know that you are you, then most likely you fall into a small category of people who were able to develop their own principles, rules, norms, ways to present yourself to the world and live YOUR life. Unlike people who were gifted with all this by their parents and who did not have the opportunity to re-realize all these values ​​and understand their real "I" in the future. Unlike the real "I", they try to present to the world their idealized psychological image, which has a weak connection with the real ones.

Thus, the question of understanding what a person really wants comes up against the need for extremely serious changes, the development of awareness of his life and all its aspects, which, of course, does not happen quickly. In this regard, all the "easy and quick" methods of understanding what you want may not work. However, a lot depends on how strongly the real "I" of a person is replaced by his invented image.

Have a goal ... not have a goal

It must be understood that to have or not to have a goal cannot be attributed to the right or wrong concepts. For example, most people don't need a goal to live happily. But it happens that the setting of a goal is included in our ideal image, and then, if we do not set a goal, then we experience anxiety, shame, guilt and other inconveniences. That is, many of us would gladly not set any goals, but we cannot afford it.

Purpose and process

In summary, our goals can be divided into two broad categories. Goals based on our real desires, that is, real goals and goals that are dictated by our idea of ​​how it should be, how it will be right and how traditionally. We can assume that if the goal is real, then the process of achieving it will give us joy and pleasure. And, its achievement will sincerely delight, leave in us a feeling of satisfaction from what has been done and will allow us to enjoy the results.

At the same time, the second goals, probably, will not please us on the way to their achievement. After all, they do not always fully meet our real needs, which means from the point of view of our true "I" they will not meet with the due enthusiasm and delight with pleasure from the process.

Goal is serious

Many people are in no hurry to set goals because they understand that a goal, if set, is like our vow that we will strive to achieve it. This is taking on a very serious responsibility. Most people are not known to seek responsibility. Therefore, if you decide to set a goal, and then not fulfill the promise, you can provoke a serious internal conflict, pangs of conscience, long and painful self-punishment, which is very difficult to endure.

Most people fail to achieve their goals because they never really put them first. (Denise Veitley, psychologists mental trainer)

Everyone hears about the need to set goals from childhood. This advice has become so familiar that it is no longer perceived as useful. And the need for goal-setting loses its relevance over time for the majority.

And really, why set goals for yourself? Is the goal capable of making our life better, and ourselves even a little happier?

American writer Chuck Palahniuk once said: "If you don't know what you want, you end up with what you definitely don't want." A clear understanding of what we really need allows us to take concrete steps to get what we want. A life in which there are goals becomes meaningful and fulfilling, and achievements, even the most modest ones, bring moral satisfaction and quite tangible material results.

In fact, goals, albeit unconscious and illusory, are set by any person. Many people like to speculate about what they would like to have, what to change in their environment and in themselves. Some do not like them the physical state, others would like to devote more time to loved ones and favorite activities, others dream of a career and material well-being. But at the same time, few take the liberty of clearly formulating what exactly they want, what needs to be done for this and what paths should be chosen to achieve the desired result.

Often times, people are simply afraid to make plans and set clear-cut goals for themselves. You know the saying: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." Probably, it was invented by an incorrigible fatalist who is not used to taking responsibility for himself and his life.

Indeed, why plan and dream something when the whole life depends on the circumstances in which we find ourselves, full of obstacles and difficulties? A much easier solution seems to be to simply wait for something good to "happen." But it is, this is good, for some reason it "happens" extremely rarely. As a result - the sea negative emotions and dissatisfaction with their own destiny.

But a person who sets clear goals for himself lives in a different way: he perceives difficulties and obstacles on the way to his dream not as fatal bad luck, but as interesting tasks that can really be solved and move on. His life is filled with vivid impressions, he is proud of himself and his achievements. From a passive extra, he turns into a director and builder of his own destiny.

To make sure that goal setting really helps make life better, let's try to articulate what specific benefits smart goal setting can provide.

1. Control over the situation

Comparison human life with a fast river flow is not new, but clear enough. Imagine that you need to cross from one side of a river to the other. A person who has no goal gives himself up to the flow of events and waits for the flow to carry him anywhere. Of course, ideally he would like to get to the other side, but everything depends on the circumstances, i.e. from where the river will take him.

A person who is clearly aware of his goal - to get into specific place on the opposite bank - will make every effort to get closer to the intended point: fight the current, row with all his might, calculate the trajectory of movement, etc. Which of these two do you think is more likely to reach the opposite shore? Undoubtedly, for someone who strives to control the situation as much as possible in accordance with a clearly set goal.

2. The meaning of life

While it may make some people smile, having clear goals can really help you find meaning in your life. And not only because a person knows exactly where to go. If everyday life turns from expectation into a path on which each step brings one closer to something concrete and definite, it cannot be called empty.

At the same time, every moment of existence acquires meaning, which makes the dream a little more real and closer, because the meaning of life is not so much as a result, but in the process. You yourself will be surprised what new emotions and unexpected pleasant surprises await you on this road, what opportunities will open before you when you embody even such simple plans as daily walks, gaining harmony, mastering the intricacies of sewing or knitting or learning a foreign language. The only thing you lose by clearly defining tasks for yourself is the feeling that your life is wasted.

3. Productivity

By clearly articulating exactly what you want to achieve, you will be able to identify specific tasks on the way to achieving the goal. Many of them will be quite realistic to solve in the very near future, and some - right now. Instead of abstract dreams, you will move on to concrete actions, you will step by step overcome specific difficulties and solve specific problems - which means that you will really start moving in the right direction and get tangible results almost immediately.

4. Self-confidence and enthusiasm

By solving clearly formulated tasks, you can easily assess the results of your efforts. For clarity, it is useful to record achievements in the form of a table or graph - so you can make sure at any time that your actions are bringing tangible results. It inspires and gives strength to move on.

Of course, you can keep records in a regular notebook or in a file on your computer. But it is much more convenient to do this with the help of our service, designed specifically to help anyone clearly articulate their goals and make a plan to achieve them. Our professional coaches and community members will help you not to stop halfway, who will surely find words of support, advise on how to increase motivation, and, of course, will rejoice with you on new successes. By the way, recognition of your achievements by others is a really powerful source of self-esteem and self-confidence.

Such a system for drawing up mini-reports and recording intermediate results will clearly demonstrate that you are really capable of a lot and will help you analyze what else is worth working on. Even one goal realized will make you understand that dreams can come true, you just have to make an effort. The fear of making "huge plans" and doubts about their own abilities will give way to calm confidence and a desire to solve new problems.

5. Realization of the "impossible"

Dreams that seemed completely unrealizable are turning from castles in the air into real projects that are quite possible to realize. To do this, you just need to correctly determine which small steps can ultimately lead to the set goal, determine intermediate tasks - and consistently work according to the planned plan. At the same time, perseverance and daily work are much more important to obtain results than a flight of inspiration or a one-time "breakthrough" at the limit of possibilities. And such a dubious thing as luck generally fades into the background.

6. "Feeling of deep satisfaction"

Jokes aside, clear goal setting allows you to really achieve a lot in life and, most importantly, to realize your successes and fully get satisfaction from what you have achieved.

This is confirmed by numerous studies, as well as examples from the life of famous successful personalities. People who purposefully move towards certain results rightfully take pride in their achievements and strive for new ones. Why don't you follow their example?

7. Self-realization

Sometimes a person is not even aware of his capabilities and talents. From day to day, almost mechanically performing habitual actions, solving problems "as they become available," he is confident that he is simply not capable of more.

The desired goal helps to expand the framework of routine existence, to get out of the so-called "comfort zone" - after all, you have to do something unusual every day, learn new things, which means change and develop, realize the hidden potential inherent in everyone.

Non-standard solutions necessary for the full implementation of our plans, meeting new people who can inspire or teach us something, the joy of realizing own forces and abilities - all this and much more becomes possible for a person working to make his dreams come true.

Usually it is written as part of the final essay. Accordingly, it is not enough to express your opinion, it is necessary to provide arguments, achieve consistency in the presentation, and, if possible, give examples from life and literature. It is advisable to build a picture of the "happy end" and reflect the picture of what is happening in a positive way. That is, not to talk about how bad life is for people without a goal in life, but to write how well a goal is for those who have it. However, contrasting examples can be cited. The recommended length is 350 words or more. Next, we will talk about how to write an essay, what arguments to use and give examples of ready-made essays.

Criteria for evaluation

A good essay must meet the evaluation criteria. Your eloquence and strong authorial position will not play a special role if the review does not meet the criteria. If you think that the goal in life is not only not important, but also harmful, you should not write about it. You may be right, many psychologists would agree with you. But you will not get a high rating. Therefore, in this case, be a hypocrite and write the work according to all the rules. And you will still have the opportunity to express your true opinion, believe me.

According to the FIPI, the criteria for evaluating the final essay are:

• Relevance to the topic.
• Argumentation using literary material.
• Composition and logic of reasoning.
• The quality of written speech.
• Literacy.

The basic criteria are the first and second. Here the pass or fail is set. Accordingly, the essay should reveal the topic, have a communicative intention. As an argument, it is important to use literature, preferably the one that you passed through the school curriculum. Quotes and examples from literary works it is necessary to cite correctly, as if finding confirmation of your arguments in the words of the author.

You cannot write an essay without attracting literary material.

The composition and logic of reasoning is actually the sequence of presentation, as well as the ratio of theses and evidence.

They put forward the thesis - provide evidence, support with examples.

The quality of speech design is understood as a variety of vocabulary. Try to avoid clichés and use appropriate terms. Not sure about the interpretation - do not use.

As for literacy, a failure is given in the case when grammatical errors make it difficult to perceive the text. Usually, no more than 5 errors are allowed per 100 words. We advise you not to use words that you are not sure of literacy. The Russian language, as you remember, is rich, flexible and picturesque - find synonyms.

Arguments and examples from literature

About unattainable goals... R. Gallego's novel "White on Black" confirms the idea that there are no insurmountable obstacles. The main character sick, separated from his mother, leading a difficult and joyless life. But, in spite of everything, he continues to study and does not give up, as a result he becomes a famous, recognized writer. By the way, the novel is autobiographical.

Great purpose... It is aimed at achieving good not only for yourself, but also for the people around you. Moreover, it is not a utopia, but quite real from the point of view of common sense. An example is V. Aksenov's story "Colleagues", where three friends become doctors and, realizing the importance of their lives, get the opportunity to save people's lives.

Lack of purpose... The heroes of the play "At the Bottom" by Maxim Gorky have no purpose in life. They live, guided by vital desires - to drink, to eat, and so on. One of the heroes, it seems, wants to find a goal and find a hospital, to return to the past (possibly fictional) glory and bright life, but does not find the strength in himself and as a result hangs himself.

The end does not justify the means... Azamat from "A Hero of Our Time" M. Yu. Lermontov wanted by any means to get the horse Karagez, which belonged to Kazbich. Obsessed with this desire, he enters into a deal with Pechorin and steals for the sake of this venture Belu. As a result, he is forced to leave his home forever. His act leads to the death of Bela and the ruined life of Kazbich, who, possessed by grief, kills the kidnapped lover.

True and false... A true goal helps to become a happy person, a false goal makes a person unhappy or does not bring him any satisfaction. So Pechorin's goals are false - whatever he passionately desires, what he has achieved does not please him. He regrets that he violated the life of "honest smugglers", loses interest in Bela's love, kills Grushnitsky in a duel.

Above all, try to achieve a coherent narrative. It should be based on the main idea and logic of reasoning. State a main thought at the beginning, for example, "The purpose of life is important to a person." Next, provide evidence: what does aimless existence lead to and, conversely, what does the presence of meaningful desires lead to. Support what has been said with examples from literary works, provide quotes.

What is important to consider while writing:

• Articulate thoughts clearly - there should be no vague wording in the text.
• Argument and support each thesis with evidence, avoid arguments.
• Do not go against public opinion, do not use sarcasm.
• Use at least 2 examples from literature.
• Express your position and correlate it with the position of the authors of the works.
• Reread what you have written to avoid mistakes.
• Keep track of the length of the essay, it should include about 350 words.
• Do not use terms that you are not completely sure of the interpretation.
• Do not use quotes and works, in the names of the authors and heroes of which there are doubts.

It is very important that you can draw on a literary base. Usually, the direction in which the final essay will be written is known long before the exam itself.

Do not be lazy to look for as many relevant examples as possible and memorize some quotes. Practice shows that the same example from a literary work can be used in an essay on any topic from a given direction. Because the wider your literary base- all the better.

Examples of essays

Option 1. Why is it important to have a purpose in life?

Having a purpose in life means understanding what you really want to achieve. A goalless existence leads to the absence of aspirations, and sometimes to the absence of desires. A person does not understand what he really wants to achieve. He "rushes", quickly loses interest in what he is doing. He chooses a job that he then hates. He wastes time and, as a result, remains at the “broken trough”, realizing that his life was wasted.

A terrible lack of purpose in life is the setting of false goals that do not bring happiness either to a person or to those around him.

A vivid example of this is the hero of M. Yu. Lermontov's novel "A Hero of Our Time" Warrant Officer Grigory Pechorin. His goals are spontaneous and more like impulsive desires.

He destroys Bela's life, gaining her favor and cooling off to her. He destroys the life of the inhabitants of Taman, forcing the girl to abandon the blind boy, whose fate can only be guessed at. Pechorin even understands this, saying: "And why was fate to throw me into a peaceful circle of honest smugglers?" At the same time, he does not find satisfaction in achieving the set goals in any of the situations.

Gregory's goals are not only false - they hurt the people around him. Bela's brother Azamat had the same goal, but no longer false. By all means, he wanted to get Kazbich's horse, which Pechorin promised to get him in exchange for Bela. Azamat was so obsessed with his desire that he did not think about the consequences. As a result, he received a horse, but was forced to leave his family forever. It is partly his fault that Bela dies at the hands of Kazbich - it is obvious that he was annoyed by stealing a horse more than by the impossibility of marrying his beloved girl.

And we see a completely different example in V. Aksenov's story "Colleagues". There are three heroes, three young doctors, at first they do not even realize the purpose of their life. Until one of the main characters, Alexander Zelenin, is seriously injured. Then his friends manage to snatch him from the clutches of death, and they understand how important and noble their work is - to save the lives of other people. She becomes their goal in life.

It seems to me that a person must find a great goal - aimed at creation. The one that makes his life and the lives of those around him better. At the same time, it is not so important whether it will be global. I may never be able to become a president or a billionaire to change the lives of thousands of people in better side... But I will be able to become a doctor and be able to save dozens of lives. My goal will be noble, I will feel its value for other people and for myself. I will be really happy.

Option 2. Why is purpose in life important?

FM Dostoevsky wrote: "Life suffocates without a goal." And indeed it is. We see many people around us who spend their lives aimlessly. They don't want anything other than watching TV shows on the weekend. They strive for nothing, except for the purchase of a new car on credit. The goal makes a person better, his thoughts are kinder and cleaner. Of course, if it is aimed at creation and development, it does not harm a person and the people around him.

The end does not justify the means. No matter how much it means to a person, and no matter how good it is in the end. The hero of FM Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" Rodion Raskolnikov was obsessed with the idea of ​​killing an old woman who was a money lender. On the one hand, his goal was good - he wanted to distribute her money to those in need. But it was achieved in a vile way - by murder. The abomination of this goal gave rise to an insane theory in Raskolnikov's head about "trembling creatures and having the right." This goal destroyed the life of Rodion, who was immersed in remorse and simply could not live normally until he found meaning in God.

Although it does not seem to me that the purpose and meaning of life should be identified with each other. The meaning of life is in life itself, and the goal sets the vector of our movement, directs life in the right direction. It forces us to act when our hands are lowered.

Suffice it to recall Alexei Meresiev from BN Polevoy's "The Tale of a Real Man". The pilot is seriously injured, as a result of which his legs are amputated. He believes that his life is over - he will never be able to fly again, and the woman he loves will marry him only out of pity. But his goal is so important to him that he does not give up - he believes in himself to the end, trains and eventually achieves desire. Overcoming pain, Meresiev trained to walk on prostheses. As a result, he was able to fly and during the first flight he could not hold back his tears. The commander, who only after the flight learned that Alexei had no legs, told him: "You yourself do not know what a wonderful person you are!"

A well-chosen goal is the foundation happy life... When we set the right vector for her, we are doing what we love and love everything that surrounds us. We are happy when we do what we really walk, and when the people around us are happy. I have chosen a goal that will change for the better not only my life, but also the lives of hundreds of people. I want to be a teacher. It will be a pleasure for me to understand that the destinies of hundreds of children - hundreds of small personalities - are in my hands, too. And I will do my best to achieve my goals and become a teacher with a capital letter.

Conclusion

If you want to get a high mark on the exam, then remember the assessment criteria in advance. They are simple and logical. But even successful students often get carried away with reasoning and forget to support their thoughts with examples from literary works. The result is a failure. Be careful and try not to run counter to public opinion. Be sure to say that a purpose in life is necessary and important. Otherwise, you run the risk of falling out of favor and getting “failed” on the exam results.

Chaos differs from order in that the movement of the elements of the system has a target state to which they strive.

Order in space is maintained by the laws of the universe. People realized some of the laws and described their particular cases in their sciences. I do not know what the universe is striving for and for what purpose it is expanding, but the constellations and planets know where to roll.

The universe is a highly organized system. Elements that have lost their place in it are quickly destroyed or absorbed by another organized system.

Most people live in decay therefore they need an external force to organize their life. The rules of decency, moral standards, legal laws are created to tame the low-organized.

If a person is not self-organized, he is quickly absorbed by the organizing system. He does not control his life, which means that this function is taken on by religion, state, corporation or oppressive wife. His freedom of action is limited by the framework of the system in which he is located or in which he believes what is situated.

Goals are needed to increase the level of self-organization... To help a person move to a higher stratum, so that his life is limited only by physical laws and his conscience, and not an artificially created ideology to control and subjugate humanity.

Why does a person need a goal

From birth, the main organizing goal of a person is the preservation of vitality and knowledge of the world. The child is not aware of his leading goals, but you can see how he is driven by them. As soon as he ceases to show interest in the world, does not seek to preserve his life - the movement within him stops.

With the growth of consciousness, the goal of “Becoming an adult”, which organizes his life, is formed in the adolescent.

The more complex a person is, the more complex his goals are and the more he needs to direct his processes (in a manual, conscious or unconscious mode). It develops when its processes become more conscious and targeted.

When a teenager reaches his goal in life, society offers him new goals: "Build a career", "Buy a house", "Start a family". These long-term goals are now organizing his life.

A person evolves when he passes from a simple structure of the psyche to a complex one and degrades in the opposite direction. When he becomes unable to stay in a complex organization, he moves on to a simpler one.

Self-organization means that a person sets goals for himself in life and builds himself. He organizes his psyche, habits, daily routine in order to achieve his goals. Builds harmonious relationships with others.

Reward for dedication

Mihai calls the state of the flow “the leading edge of evolution,” a powerful stimulus that makes us move forward, grow intellectually and spiritually, and improve the knowledge and skills already acquired.

This is a great opportunity to feel and express our essence in the business that we do - in communication, play or work.

The presence of a goal is a condition for entering the stream.

1. Concentration of attention.
2. Experiencing a sensation comparable to ecstasy.
3. A clear idea of ​​what needs to be done at a particular point in time and how to do it better.
4. Losing my sense of time.
5. The realization that the business you are doing is doable, albeit difficult.
6. The experience of losing your own body.
7. Merging with something that is bigger than you, that has no boundaries.

Concentration of attention is impossible without a clearly defined task, a specific goal... The absence of a goal and a task immediately leads consciousness to a state of psychic entropy, internal chaos, alien to the state of the flow.

Mihai calls the orderliness of consciousness as the main condition for maintaining the state of the flow. Orderliness is achieved when attention is fully focused on some specific aspect that is important to us.

The goal is needed to reveal the personality

When consciousness is "ordered", most of the attention is directed to solving the current problem. There is no need to deal with the inner disorder and the outer world. A person floats in the stream and, at the same time, feels and demonstrates his inner confidence and integrity.

... Happiness cannot be achieved - it is always a side effect of a person's focus on something greater than himself. Victor Frankl

The state of the flow, helps to reveal the personality, due to the deep concentration of mental attention and orderliness of consciousness. In this state, the feelings, thoughts and intentions of a person the best way focus on the goal.

By concentrating and directing psychic energy to achieve new challenging goals, we develop the ability to streamline consciousness, "stay in the flow" and experience a state of happiness. This is why you need to set short-term and strategic goals for yourself.

Experiencing the state of flow complicates the personality, allows it to outgrow itself, to act freely. By focusing psychic energy on the task at hand, we can get satisfaction from everything we do.

Why set goals

By achieving goals in a state of flow, we ensure Better conditions for personal growth. But you need to learn to comply with the conditions for entering the stream - the correspondence of capabilities and skills to the level of complexity of the task.

A stream is born when a person is fully involved in their activities. Everything that is not connected with the task being performed is ignored by attention and consciousness. The process itself is accompanied by such vivid sensations that a person will not hesitate to pay to experience them again.

A person who does not know himself well, often immediately sets himself very difficult goals. His knowledge is not enough to start solving the required tasks, so he postpones work.

In hiring, a manager often puts too much simple tasks... A person performing them does not enter a state of flow, but falls into a sleepy trance. That's why you need to strive to work in a state of flow, learn to set yourself developing, interesting goals.

In reality, Mihai explains, one should win one's main battle not so much against oneself as against mental disorder, which brings a state of chaos into the soul, consciousness and thoughts.

Our main battle is the battle for ourselves, our right and the ability to establish control over our attention. And the most effective way to learn to live in a state of flow is to develop the abilities of self-discipline and determination.

The main thing for which a person needs goals is to develop, it is fun and interesting..

Being busy is best medicine for a person at all times. Being busy saves a person from unpleasant thoughts, circumstances and from their misperception. Being busy is the highest goal of a person, because doing something, he can ensure himself a normal and unhindered life.

Sooner or later, every person faces the question: what do I want to do all my life? What needs to be learned in order to receive later Good work and provide yourself with a stable and decent income?

Accepting this will not only help you understand your goals better, but it will also have more confidence and courage. Trust your luck, but don't tempt it forever. Regardless of how strong your willpower is, it's important to keep in mind the fact that this fact is limited and if you're overwhelmed, you may run out of it. Don't suggest two steps at once if they can be avoided. And don't put yourself in danger, many people overestimate their resistance to temptation and expose themselves to many situations where abundance abounds.

Successful people know they don't have to make a goal more complex than it already can be. Be consistent. Self-control is like any other muscle in your body, when you don't use it, it weakens, but when you use it regularly, it will become stronger and can help you achieve your goals. Take on the challenge: Stop eating more fat-rich snacks, do 100 squats a day, walk straight when you find yourself hunched over, try to learn a new skill. It will be difficult at first, but it will be easier every time.

When deciding on your vocation in life, it is necessary, first of all, to think about what brings pleasure, not money. Favourite hobby later it becomes the main place of work, but the pursuit of earnings may never be crowned with success.

The most important thing in life is self-determination. As soon as a person decides what exactly he wants to do, based on his own capabilities and desires, his life will begin to change for the better.

Focus on what you will do, not what you will not do. Do you want to lose weight, quit smoking or limit your temper? Plan how you will replace bad habits good rather than focusing only on avoiding them. The same thing happens when it comes to behavior, trying not to have a bad habit, even to reinforce it. If you want to change the way you do something, ask yourself, what will you do? By using deep breathing instead of focusing on your anger, your bad habit will subside until it disappears completely.

Highly important nuance is the fact that being passionate and busy helps a person to perceive the world correctly. When a person is busy with what he loves, all his problems become secondary. A person focuses on what he is doing and tries to improve every minute.

Doing what you love allows you to perceive others in a different way. Let's figure out what exactly this perception is.

However, we all know people with many skills and competencies who are simply unhappy with themselves and declare themselves "unfortunate." The instinct of knowing how to be in the right place at the right time, with a reference or a mentor, are the elements on which we must support the achievement of our goals. And never forget to apply to yourself the expression formulated by Pablo Picasso "that luck made me work."

All business organizations must have written goals as part of their business plan. These goals can describe what the company plans to achieve in terms of market, growth, and profitability. You can also set goals for internal action, such as expanding staff or boosting employee morale. Businesses should strive to achieve specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals. There are many benefits to goal setting.

Every new day we face new challenges, the solution of which greatly complicates our calm and familiar life. Many circumstances and difficulties make us perceive the world around us as complex, and problems sometimes seem insurmountable.

But it is worth noting that the world around us is not cruel for us, and its tasks are unsolvable. Our world exists by itself and is absolutely indifferent to us. But for everyone he is exclusively what he is seen and perceived.

When organizations set goals for employees, they show employees the organization’s priorities. Employees will know what to focus on in the next quarter or year and will prioritize projects and other tasks as they weigh how their work will impact those goals. It also provides a management orientation when making decisions about large projects and how best to divide tasks among employees.

Organizational goals give employees something to achieve in their day-to-day tasks. For example, instead of just getting total income, employees can work to improve profitability by 10% by the end of the year. Most people try to be successful, but having a certain standard of what constitutes success will motivate them to strive for excellence. If goals are linked to other external rewards, such as recognition or rewards, the level of motivation can be further improved.

We are not so afraid of any situations as we are of our reaction to them. We are afraid not to attach importance to complexities and situations that we cannot change. Instead of learning how to overcome tasks without difficulty and take the necessary actions in time, we give free rein to emotions, thereby ruining ourselves and our own lives.

Doing what you love keeps your head cold and your mind sober. Being busy can suppress any emotion, which helps you focus on the solution to the problem itself.

Many goals cannot be achieved if employees at all levels do not work together to achieve them. It can improve team cohesion and collaboration when employees are aware that they can achieve their goals when working as a team. Managers can further reinforce this concept by providing group awards when an organization achieves its goals.

What is thread state and how do I achieve it?

Flow is the optimal experience that a person is able to experience when engaging in a particular activity.

The state of flow is the highest pleasure in what a person does, it helps a person to achieve the greatest heights and success in their business. The flow state is the state of maximum pleasure that can be experienced while engaging in an activity.

This state is not always easy to achieve. Only when we overpower ourselves and move one step forward in our business, only then is the state of flow and the highest pleasure achieved.

A deep and meaningful relationship, a reward for our work, a healthy diet, physical activity, relaxation and restful sleep, enjoyment exercises and religious or spiritual practice contribute to our well-being. Listed this way, it may seem like a lot, but it is important to set goals gradually, one by one.

Goals provide direction and meaning to our lives. After all, if we don't know where we are going, how do we know when we arrive? Why is it useful to set goals and objectives. It helps to identify our strong and talented talents, as well as our weaknesses, in order to improve them. Past goals give us a sense of fulfillment that motivates us to face difficult situations in the present. It boosts our self-esteem when we discover that we have talents, that we can improve our weaknesses, and that we are out of difficult situations in past. We learn to measure the progress of our projects and tasks, for which we need to know well what results we hope to get. Many times we are in familiar areas where there are many problems that we deal with and know well. Challenging these comfort zones with new goals and projects can motivate us to develop our potential. When we set a goal, we focus on what we want to achieve and avoid distracting ourselves from problems that are not so important.

The importance of goal setting

• Set a goal for yourself. Why do you think it is important to have and write down your goals? An experiment was once conducted among Harvard seniors. And at the very beginning, a survey was conducted among all students: "Do you have clear and written goals for the future?"
• The results were as follows: 84 percent of the students did not think about any goals or write them down. 13 percent had goals but didn't write them down. And only 3 percent had clear goals for the future, plus they wrote them down.
• Ten years later, the researchers received the following information: Those 13 percent of students who had goals but did not write down received money twice as much as those who had no goals at all. But what was most surprising was that the 3 percent who always set and wrote goals earned roughly 10 times more than the other 97 percent of Harvard seniors combined.

Well, dear friend, if you don't know where to go, how will you end up there? The famous psychologist Brian Tracy also set up such an experiment when he traveled to different cities, where he conducted his trainings and asked people to write down on paper the 10 most important goals for them.

Define your goals

And work to achieve them. Guide your thoughts and control your emotions. Take action! So you will become a true creator of your destiny and find the answers you need if you look for them. Concentrate all your strength on achieving what you want so that you do not have time to be afraid of the undesirable. Everything that the human mind is able to understand and what it is able to believe is achievable.

• Read what Vadim Zeland writes in his book “Reality Transurfing” regarding goal setting: “When you stop, just want and will, intend to have, then you will receive it. A miracle will happen only if you break the usual stereotype, and think not about the means of achievement, but about the goal itself. If you stubbornly and relentlessly twist your movie in your thoughts and walk towards your goal, reality will sooner or later come in line with it. Reality simply has nowhere to go, such is its property. Not only are you dependent on reality, but reality is also on you. The question is who owns the initiative. What you shouldn't be doing explicitly is getting discouraged in your life. You must not think that it has failed. You shouldn't think like that at any age. Everything in this life is not in vain and is still just beginning. At any time, under any conditions and circumstances. "

• It's time to tell you my story about how I moved from a hostel to an elite and comfortable housing. But first things first. Once upon a time I lived in a hostel for 8 years and there was not even a shower of my own. It was located on the ground floor and was also shared. Can you imagine? Not very comfortable accommodation. I really wanted my own home. And then in 1998, just after the default, I told myself that I would have a 2-room luxury apartment. What is an elite apartment? (SHOCK) I didn't even have a job then. But I firmly said that I would have this apartment and I intend to buy it.
• I had no idea how I would buy it, and thoughts hovered in my head: "Where will you get the money?" To which a quote from Napoleon Hill flashed through my head, who said: "Think about the goal, and the means will be found." And just imagine, after 4.5 years I moved to the very apartment in which I wanted to live. How did I do it? I still run it through my head and wonder how everything worked out in the best way.
• After all, then there was not even a word: "Mortgage". At that time, I entered into an agreement on equity participation in the construction. That's what it was called. I had paid half of the cost of the apartment by the time the house was delivered, and then my dorm room came in handy. And he closed the other half for 10 years, calmly and without straining. Although at first these were decent numbers, after 3-4 years these payments became only one tenth of my salary.
• This is my story, or it would even be more correct to say a small part of it, because I set other goals that I managed to achieve successfully, but I’ll tell you about this some other time. If you have an irresistible desire to learn how to achieve your goals, I recommend paying attention to my paid course:
