Is Your Goal Something That You Really Want?
Have you had your goals all set? Goal setting is one thing we need to do in order to achieve our goals. But don’t get too hype in setting it. Because before you have to set it, ask yourself first what it is you really want? Then try to analyze if it is really what you want or if you just chose that as a goal because it sounds good? Or you just chose that goal because its what you parents have been telling you ever since? Know in your heart first what you really want.
Some may be scared of doing what they want because their parents have high expectations on them. There are people who lives in the shadow of their family or their older brothers and sisters. An example is a boy was expected to be a doctor just like his 2 older brothers and his parents. The pressure then rests on him and his aim is to be like a doctor as well. But he also likes photography. Actually, he loves photography. He just never realizes it and never thought of pursuing it because of the pressure set on him by his family. Problem here is that no matter how he tries and tries, he cannot get the top grades that his parents want.
His heart is not in medicine but rather in photography. He should have set his goals in photography and not in medicine. But it is also possible that he can achieve his goals in medicine but there would be an issue of fulfillment, happiness and regret. The same is also true if you set a goal just because it sounds good and people will like it.
