Goals Give You Focus
Without a goal, your efforts can become disjointed and often confusing.
For example, a goal takes the flight of a hummingbird, which is chaotic and erratic and focuses it much like a hawk swooping down for its prey.
It allows you to zero in on each day’s tasks with laser precision, weeding out wasted effort and idle movement.

Goals Help You Measure Progress
Being able to keep track of your progress toward achieving a goal is only possible if you set one in the first place.
Being able to measure progress is extremely rewarding and will help you maintain focus, keep your head held high and your energy up. It will also keep you from getting down.
Sometimes, when working towards success, it’s easy to become discouraged because you don’t feel you have “arrived” yet.
However, when you measure progress while working towards a specific goal, you will be able to see that though you might not be where you are wanting to get, you have made movements in the right direction and are a lot better off than where you started.
