Topic 2: Goal Setting

What is goal setting?

According to https://positivepsychology.com/goal-setting/

Goal setting is the process by which we achieve these goals. The importance of the goal setting process should not go unappreciated, according to Locke (2019) “Every person’s life depends on the process of choosing goals to pursue; if you remain passive you are not going to thrive as a human being.”

Goal setting theory (Locke & Latham, 1984) is based on the premise that conscious goals affect action (Ryan, 1970) and that conscious human behavior is purposeful and regulated by individual goals. Simply put, we must decide what is beneficial to our own welfare, and set goals to achieve it.

In the words of Pablo Picasso,

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
