Why People Don’t Set Goals
1. People are Simply not
Serious
The first reason people don’t set goals is that they are simply not
serious. They are talkers instead of doers. They want to be more successful,
they want to improve their lives, but they are not willing to make the
necessary effort. They do not have the “fire in the belly” that translates into
a burning desire to make something of themselves, to make their lives bigger
and better and more exciting.
The only way you can
tell what a person really believes is by actions, not words.
One person who will take action is worth ten brilliant talkers who do
nothing.
2. People have not yet
accepted responsibility for their lives
The irresponsible
person is the person who is still waiting for real life to begin. Such a person
uses up all his or her creative energies making elaborate excuses for his or
her failure to make progress, and then buys lottery tickets and goes home to
watch tv.
3. Deep-seated feelings of guilt and
unworthiness
The third reason people don’t set goals is their deep-seated feelings of
guilt and unworthiness. A person who is
so low mentally and emotionally that he or she has to look up to see bottom is
not the kind of person who confidently and optimistically sets goals for the
months and years ahead .
4. People don’t understand the significance of Goals
If you move up in a social circle in which people do not have clearly
defined goals toward which they are working , it will be natural for you to
assume that goals are not a particularly important part of life. Since 80% of
the people around you are going nowhere, if you are not careful you will end up
drifting with the crowd, following the followers, and going nowhere as well.
5. People don’t know how to
set Goals
The fifth reason people don’t set goals is that they don’t know how to
set them. We study for so many years and get the university degree but never
once receive an hour’s worth of instruction on goal setting even though goal
setting is more important to your long term happiness than any other single
subject that you could ever learn.
6. Fear of Rejection or Fear of Criticism
The sixth
reason people don’t set goals is quite simply the fear of rejection or fear of
criticism.
The solution to this fear of criticism or sounding foolish
is simple- Keep your goals confidential. Don’t tell anybody. No one can laugh
or criticise you because they don’t know about your goals. There are two exceptions-
your boss or spouse shoes help you need to achieve your goals and second people
with goals. Encourage them that they can achieve their goals. This will also
your moral and confidence. Say them- You can do it. Encourage them, motivate
them. Encouraging others motivate you as
well. It is Law of Sowing and reaping. If you would like others to encourage
you, take very opportunity to encourage you.
7. Fear of Failure
The seventh
and the most predominant reason for people do not set goals is the fear of
failure. The fear of failure is the greatest single obstacle to success in
adult life. It is what keeps people in their comfort zones. It is what makes
them keep their heads down and play it safe as the years pass by.
