I think it\u2019s because goals help us focus on the things we can control rather than stress about the things we can\u2019t.

That approach meant her ambition went from a safe goal of running 10km (6.2 miles) to a bold goal of running 21.1km (13 miles).<\/p><p>She hasn\u2019t reached her goal yet but she\u2019s celebrating every time she reaches a distance milestone. Not only has her health and wellbeing improved, the experience has positively influenced other areas of her life including her focus at work and her relationships. I have no doubt she will achieve her goal but if she doesn\u2019t, she has extracted so much value from working towards it.<\/p><p>Whatever your goal \u2013 whether it\u2019s running 5km, learning a new language, writing a book or climbing a mountain \u2013 focusing your energy on something you believe in can be truly life-changing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75c8a263 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"75c8a263\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44cf9cef elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"44cf9cef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/unstoppabull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/importance-of-setting-goals-in-life-scaled-1-2048x1366-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-128496\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unstoppabull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/importance-of-setting-goals-in-life-scaled-1-2048x1366-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unstoppabull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/importance-of-setting-goals-in-life-scaled-1-2048x1366-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unstoppabull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/importance-of-setting-goals-in-life-scaled-1-2048x1366-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unstoppabull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/importance-of-setting-goals-in-life-scaled-1-2048x1366-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-786e0c06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"786e0c06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aa34fa8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5aa34fa8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">GOAL SETTING IS NOT ABOUT A POINT IN TIME.

I was proud of what I had accomplished and enormously relieved that I\u2019d reached the summit on my first attempt and returned with all my digits intact. At the same time, I no longer had a clear sense of direction. Although the training and preparation had been brutal, it had given me something to focus on each day milestones to celebrate. All that was gone.<\/p><p>That\u2019s when my mate Dicky (also known as Richard) called and said, \u201cDaniel, you\u2019ve climbed the highest mountain in the world. Have you considered climbing the highest mountain on every continent? How hard could it be?\u201d At least that was his sentiment. I have to laugh in hindsight. Yes Dicky, sure mate, just like a walk in the park!<\/p><p>I immediately Googled the Seven Summits and set a new goal that would turn into a decade long quest. My inner fire and focus returned. The act of setting a new goal had me feeling pumped.
