Goals require sacrifice and self-discipline but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. For example, I gave birth to my daughter Amber at a very young age and I knew that I had a huge responsibility in my hands but, my goals were set. Although, it seemed a bit premature to go back to work I was back at the office 3 days later doing payroll. I know this seems a big extreme, but I was disciplined and I knew I needed to stay focused to accomplish my goals. I was a young mother, wife, sister and business woman, I knew that if I wanted to accomplish my goals I would have to sacrifice a few things and restructure my lifestyle.
Knowing what goals you should set for your life is the first step to long-term happiness. The best types of life goals include financial, career, fitness, relationship and whatever your goal may just don’t loose sight of the prize.
