Goals are the best way to getting where you want to go for your life. They are like stepping stones to get there. Its how you’ll live a happy life. There are the dreams that can come true. You grow up with simple goals such as get through High School with good grades, to get into the college you want, which are great goals but when you start to branch out your mind and start setting more specific goals is when they truly start to play a huge role.They are what keep you working through the hard times, saving up every penny you have. They force you to keep moving forward. They are a constant reminder that you can’t stand still. I’m learning in college that you have to have more than just the “normal/simple goals”. You need to have goals that will enrich your quality of life and push you out of your comfort zone to your limits. Your goals will push you to find the courage to achieve you goals.
