4 Reasons why you should ignore the naysayers and set new year resolutions, create a vision board and set goals for the year 2024.
Many individuals see a new year as a glimmer of hope, an opportunity for a new start, and a chance to dream bigger. While many others think we should do away with the idea of new year resolutions, vision boards and goal setting, I believe that we should continue with these customs, in spite of the opinions of others. Setting goals and imagining a better version of oneself are important and necessary especially when you hope to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained."
— Marie Curie
There are many reasons why goal-setting is imperative in 2024, to name a few;
Brings awareness to what matters to you - this awareness will allow you to focus on the right things and prioritize better. Whether you want to achieve a milestone in your career, build a greater network, run a marathon or buy your dream home having clear goals can help you to map out the path to your success.
Provides a sense of direction & inspires positive habits - a clear vision & clear goals dictate our daily activities and intentions, bringing us a step closer to our dream life.
Goals can help keep you motivated - we all have challenging days. However, a clear vision can help you stay focused, reaffirm your "why"and overcome life’s complexities.
Visualize your success - by constantly reviewing your goals or vision board you form a strong, optimistic mental image that will help you believe more confidently that you can accomplish your goals.
I firmly believe that we all have what it takes to be successful. Success is relative, yet it is attainable if we don't give up. Remember, life is a unique experience to all of us and there are multiple avenues for making dreams come true.
