setting goals?

Question

When you have determined where you want your life to be in a couple months or even five years, it will have a strong impact on what goals you will be setting for yourself in the years to come. A short term goal could be as simple as passing your classes to getting your homework done and turned in on time each day. Setting long term goals can help you achieve things you want to see happen a couple years from now. Going on vacation to another country you haven’t been to and exploring the culture and sights, completing your paper for reading class that is due in a couple months, and climbing the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and being able to say that you accomplished your goals. *Whether the goal is simple or hard you can go through a couple or many steps to achieve the goal that you set for yourself to accomplish in a semester to a couple years from now. what do you think of this? anything that I could add or change? thanks.

Answer 1

I personally have a difficult time defining personal goals in the terms of economic gain. This is because because I don't feel like that is important to me. This acutely is a problem in some areas because economic stability will help in most other areas of life.

For the most part I just focus on who I would like to be as a person. I try to get closer to what I consider is a good person. I succeed and fail, and try to improve my success to failure rating. I have been both "Middle Class" and "Lower Class" in my life. The one thing that I have noted was that it was easier to be a "good" person, when I was "Middle Class".

I have made it through the most difficult times in my life because of great support from family and friends. It is these people that I hope to be a good person too.
