The fifth reason people do not set goals is they do not know how.
This reason relates to a fear of failure where
the person has set goals in the past, but has not achieved them.
The failure discourages further attempts.
These people become disheartened from failure and
think failure is imminent. They do not learn from past
mistakes and move towards personal growth.
The classic example of this is weight loss as a new year’s resolution.
A temporary motivation inspires
the person to lose weight in January, but no further
progression is made with the goal.
They bounce back to their initial state as their
behavior follows the path of least resistance.
If you do not set and work towards a goal now, what makes you
think you will achieve it as a New Year’s resolution?
There are techniques such as SMART goal-setting, which I will
discuss below, that you can use to set and achieve goals
rather than wishing a result based on temporary
motivation too common around New Years.
