Are Human Beings Goal Seeking By Nature?

My answer is a simple, straightforward, yes! Le me ask you this…did you get up out of bed this morning? Turn on your computer and get to this blog posting? Click the right buttons to get here? You achieved 3 goals today, didn’t you?
The problem is not the goals – it is, perhaps, having the right goals. Some people stay in bed all day (their goal), don’t turn on any digital tool (their goal) and don’t want to learn anything (their goal).
So here’s the deal – if you are, by biological design, a goal seeker (still don’t believe me?…Try holding your breath for five minutes – you’ll probably find yourself sucking in precious air real fast), how about having some worthwhile goals?
What might they be? The sky is the limit. However, one of the first steps is to divide them into those areas of your life that matter most to you – family, professional, personal, spiritual, health and financial are great starters. Now, let your mind wander. What do you really (I mean, really, really) want?
- Restored health?
- A positive family unit?
- Career success?
- Financial security?
- A spiritual life?
It looks easy. But it’s not. YOU need to really step back and really start with a vision as to whom you want to be. Years ago, Lily Tomlin stared in a Broadway play. In that play she said, “All my life I wanted to be somebody. I should have been more specific.” How about you – should you start being more specific?

Exactly, Bill - 95% of people do not have clearly-defined written goals. Less than 5% of people believe they are achieving their goals in life. Coincidence?
Exactly! You hit it right in the sweet spot. You must be specific on goals or you will end up somewhere else good or bad!
