Hi Penelope,

This is a solid topic for discussion. Nice approach to bring in psych research areas.

Consider breaking down the goal to actionable steps that make progress. Your picture examples of writing and losing weight are overcoming undesirable habits. This is one subset of goals.

All commenters have valid additions.

As a Goal Achiever, I believe the proper goal provides you with the necessary incentive to grow in your awareness and awareness gives meaning to life. SO if you want to be absolutly sure to improve the quality of your life, it is essential that you goal be something truly special, something that you really want even if it's a $1,000,000 lifestyle.

**Goal setting tip: Don't set a goal about money. It has no intrinsic value beyond your basic food and shelter. Set your goals for things that truly will change your life. The money will come from living life like this.**
I find it interesting that you would write that having a financial goal isn't a good goal to desire. People don't earn $25,000 because they want to, it's because they lack the awareness of how to make $50,000. When people desire to earn a specific amount of money, they are looking to change their lifestyle and that's a great goal. And I think you can earn money doing anything that you love to do.

Great article. I look forward to your next post.

I personally found it very hard to lose weight while breastfeeding – baby NEEDED me to eat. however I learned recently that when I deal with me issues, I can lose 10 lbs a week without even trying. Go figure!

I'm currently setting my personal and business goals for the next 12-18 mo. They are extremely ambitious, so I can't share them with most of the people I know, but I have some support systems I'm setting up.

Thanks for a great article!!
