I was talking to a really good friend recently about our current life situations. Being in your early twenties isn't the easiest time in life (but is still a heck of a lot easier than being a teenager). We are both new-ish college graduates and are now working in the "real world." She chose the finance path in life, while I chose education. Even though we are two different people with different interests, I strongly believe one of the reasons we have remained such good friends is because we have one major value in common: We're goal diggers. My friend and I seem to be constantly working towards something and seeing her working towards her goals inspires me to work towards mine.
But, are goals really that important? What's the point of constantly having goals? Isn't it exhausting to never be finished? Why can't you just sit and enjoy what you have earned? Because goals are too important to throw away.
💜 Goals Help Treat Depression- When you have depression, it's easy to feel stuck, unmotivated and uninspired. You may not have any desire to do much of anything, except sit there and feel numb. But, having a goal, no matter how small, can brighten up your days because you'll have something to live for. When you have rough days, focusing on your goals and bettering yourself will give you the motivation to keep on going.
💜 Goals Help You To Grow- The reason why you can't just stop having goals after you've reached a certain level of achievement is because as soon you stop working towards something, you stop growing. Once you stop growing, you'll eventually die on the inside. As morbid as that sounds, it's true. Growing is so important to living a healthy and fulfilled life. It's impossible to grow too much. You can always be improving yourself , while still loving who you are.
💜 Goals Give You Confidence- There are few things in life that can match the feeling of absolute bliss when you've accomplished a goal. It proves that you are perfectly capable of achievement and it makes you wonder what else can happen if you work hard. You'll feel good and walk with your head head a little higher knowing that you can do it.
💜 Goals Make Your More Attractive- I love being around people who are working towards goals, especially if they started at the bottom. Why? Because they're inspiring and they make me want to work on my goals too. They know the value of growth and hard work. People who have goals are living proof that what you want and who you want to be are possible. On the other hand, being around someone who is stagnant in life is emotionally draining, especially if they let their frustration show. No one wants to be around someone who is unmotivated because it's depressing. Don't be that person. Be the person who inspires someone else to better their own lives.
Do you have any goals? What are they? Leave a comment down below!
