Why Some People Don’t Set Goals

Setting goals is an important part of life. Yet, some people choose not to do so. There are several reasons why. Let’s go over some of them:
Not Having the “Know How”. There is always going to be something that someone doesn’t know how to do, but that’s not an excuse to at least have a draft of some goals on paper. It’s always been said that if you don’t know how to do something, then ask someone who does.
Not Wanting Responsibility. Setting goals means taking responsibility for our own lives and some people prefer not to do that. They would rather keep complaining over and over again than taking responsibility for what is and taking actual steps to change it.
If you accept that you have complete responsibility for your life, you will view goals as means to help you change the undesirable situation.
The Circle of Friends. “Be careful of the company you keep” – this was told us many times throughout our lives. There are people who don’t think much about setting goals for themselves. They don’t realize how much setting goals can help them in their current everyday lives and in the achievement of success in the future. The people that you hang around with can either have a positive or negative effect on your life. There are those that will encourage you and others that will discourage you and try to bring you down to their level. They don’t understand why you’re seeking to do more. This is what is called the crab mentality. When one tries to go up, the others pull him down.
Having goals in life is very important: they give us a sense of direction and purpose. If you want to have a meaningful achievement in life, you need to set goals and take actions towards their realization.
