Do we realize that we are all born with equal talents and potentials? Many, alas, grow up to be mediocre without fully exploiting their talents. This is because they do not set a proper Goal in life. Rather they do not have a goal at all! There are several reasons why students do not have a proper Goal in life. Often they become the product of other people’s opinions, advice and compulsion —a tragedy.
Remember,
“The goal set by should be your own’
The important deterrents to Goal setting are
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of success
3. Fear of criticism
4. Fear of surroundings
5. Poor self esteem
6. Lack of support
7. Ignorance
Let us beware of FEAR, Fear is False evidence appearing real.
Suppose there is a fire. Its treatment is same to all people. Then why to fear it at all?
Next in importance comes change. The most important thing god has given the humans is the power to choose, unlike the animals act by their instinct. Therefore, every person can select his own goal.
This is called Big Goal
To achieve this Big Goal one should commit these five points to memory:-
1. Fear can be overcome
2. Be ready for change
3. No growth without change
4. We can think and act in a new way
5. We are the master of our own destiny
We all should keep in mind that fear is a false notion. It could be overcome. Secondly the growth is proportionate to the chante in your. You can change because you are free to think and act in a new way. Once you do so you are the master of your destiny.
The following are the areas in which we have to set goals.
Big Goal
1. Career goal
2. Spiritual goal
3. Family goal
4. Community goal
5. Financial goal
6. Health goal
7. Self development goal
8. Material goal
To achieve Big Goal one should have
1. Burning desire
2. Expectation
3. Belief
Steps for goal achievement are:
1. Write down all your goals clearly.
2. Be specific about them.
3. Set proper time frame to complete them in time.
4. Total commitment. You must pursue your Goals with single-minded devotion.
5. The goal must be your own.
6. You must have a burning desire to achieve it.
7. Positive attitude— your mind should be filled with positive thoughts only. Your big goal is achieved through.
Long term goal is any where between 1year and above,
Medium term goal is about 3 months to 1year,
Short term goal is about 1 day to 3 months,
Micro term goal is about 1 minute to 1 day.
To achieve our long term goals the micro goals are important. These should be set properly and completely and done everyday. Only then, step by step, they will help us achieve the Big Goal.
Remember, having a goal is important but working with perseverance and commitment despite hurdles makes the difference between success and failure.
So, do it now and you see you’ve won! Friends! Will you dare to take the first step today? You will find it truly rewarding!

Well said sir,Life without goal-is unimaginable. Even an animal has an ultimate goal-Survival. The pyramid of success is built on numerous sacrifices,and most importantly-Self esteem, will power and severe austerity. Achivement of goal is a penance achived by religious efforts and high concentration,as is rightly said by you.
I hope this article would enlighten the readers and make your effort fruitful
