For someone new to goal setting, it can be difficult to grasp why setting goals has been a point stressed by many personal development life coaches. However, there is a valid reason. As you read this article, you will come to understand why is goal setting important.

* What Is Goal Setting
Goal setting in its simplest form is having an outcome and working towards achieving it, through planned action. Why goal setting is so important is down to the fact that most people don't set goals. So, if you do consciously set goals, and works to achieve them, then you are someone unique. Most people never consciously goal set.

* About Goal Setting
Goal setting is done by so few people or at least the personal development life coaches would like you to believe! The truth is that all people goal set. That is not the problem.

In life we go to school, grow up, and get a job. Most of the time, we do things because others have influenced us to some degree, and we are doing what others want us to do. Now there is nothing wrong with that, order is better than chaos. But, if life is not how you planned it to be, then you want to create a bit of chaos to turn life into the world you always wanted.

People are like ships without rudders, and goal setting is getting that rudder. Though all people goal set, there is a distinction between what the many do, and what we are talking about here. Setting goals consciously is what is important. A person trying to wake up on time and going to work in a timely fashion is not the type of goal setting we want. Why is that?

* Why Is Goal Setting Important?
You have a life, and you are not a machine. You may love what you do or you may not. Why is goal setting important? It is important because if you find yourself daydreaming often, if you wish for a better life, a better career, etc. Then the only way is by actually making goal setting an important part of your life.

When you goal set, you will find that you will be moving forward in life. There maybe chaos for a while, the world has to change, you have to change. When you do, you will find a world that is more of what you want. No longer are people in slavery, however, we put ourselves as slaves. We become slaves to our job, and a dream we hold inside, that is begging for life, is relegated.

You are free! You are living in a world with infinite possibilities. You can be rich or poor, wealthy and happy. Whatever you like! However, to get anywhere close to that, requires the process of goal setting, and this is why goal setting is important.

How can I get back the social skills I once had?
By: Johan B | 04-08-2008
My name is Johan and I'm 18 years old, graduated from high school this year and I'm having problems lately when I try to engage in conversations with girls and my friends ,which I barely have anymore.I usually don't have anything to say (My mind is always blank and I can't make up words properly in my head) so I'm either very quiet or say stuff without any meaning.It wasn't always like this. Before I graduated and spent the last five months doing nothing else than waking up, having some friends over and lighting up a few joints... I always knew what to say back to people when I talked to them.I think my problem is the lack of mental exercise. Since I go to the gym 2 hours a day, 4 days a week I have a healthy body or else I'd already be overweight (Damn munchies). Maybe taking some yoga, photography and math classes would help me improve my social skills which really suck at the moment and I don't see any point in living anymore... I've basically lost my interest in everything.I need advice on how to get my social skills back and on getting my life back in order.Thanks,Johan.
