If you’ve got a wish list of all the things you want to achieve, how many of the goals are things you think you’re expected to achieve? Put another way: are these really the goals of other people and you think they should be on your list too?

Society has such an impact on our lives that we end up conforming to the “norm” or doing the same as others simply because that is what is expected of us, even if it opposes our own true values. What you must realise is there is little point pursuing goals that bring you little satisfaction and happiness: if your heart is not in the goal then it is pretty likely you won’t commit to achieving it.

Wanting a better life gives us ambition, which in turn provides us with direction. But, before you wear yourself out trying to achieve society’s goals (a new car every three years, a conservatory off the lounge, extra swimming lessons for the kids etc.), start visualising goals that will give you the most joy and fulfilment in life. The direction you follow should lead to a good, happy place for your and your family.

Try to set yourself goals that will improve your overall happiness and well-being. This is not to say you shouldn’t work towards achieving enough money to buy a nice new car but only do so if you are certain it’s what you really need and it will make you feel good about yourself. Empower yourself to pursue goals that tick the boxes when it comes to your vision for a happy, brighter future.

What is important when it comes to goals, achievement and success is to do the things that you love and enjoy doing. Stop wasting time on goals that don’t add value to your life and are done simply to conform! Allow yourself the opportunity to satisfy your true desires and ensure you pursue goals for your own personal reasons and needs. By adopting this approach to goal setting and achievement, you will begin to enjoy lifelong happiness, balance and joy!
