Unless you are playing football, goals are not necessary.\n\nIt can be nice to have a goal so you have something to work reach their goal.  \n\nIt is quite possible to drift through life taking opportunities as they arise.\n\nI've had a great life; I never knew what I wanted to do, but things have just worked out for the best and I wouldn't change anything.\n\nIf you don't have a goal now, then don't worry. If you do have a goal, then don't get too upset if things change. Grab opportunities when they arise. \n\nLife isn't like a rail train -- there are no fixed tracks leading towards the future.

Because well thought out planning leads to success.  Have you heard the old saying "Plan your Work, Work your Plan?" I would sit down with people I trusted and write out what goals I wanted to accomplish and the steps it took to get there based on my needs and desires.  Breaking them down into small, realistic, measurable steps, will help you see how obtainable your goal is.  When you see these goals written, they become yours to own.  Once you genuinely own them you are more proactive and tend to work harder to achieve them.  That's not to say that your goals won't change. As you experience new things, your ideas and goals may change.  Sometimes, that is good.  It means you are growing!!  Just restart the process and you're on your way to achieving all the successes that you've dreamed of.

Motivation and determintation are required to succeed in life.  You don't have to know everything to get ahead; You just need to have the motivation to find the answers and the ability to LEARN. Some people have the drive to succeed and others just don't.\n\n5 years ago I got out of high school and was waiting tables.  I now own my car, my house, my own business, and earn a great living.  I didn't accomplish this by "knowing the right people" or being absurdly talented in one area.  I accomplished everything by the motivation that I wanted to be financially secure and successful.\n\nFaith in God didn't hurt either. ;)

keep setting goals for yourself.  Set some long term goals so that you always have something to work for.  Set some short term goals so that you will satisfy yourself by reaching goals.  When you reach a goal, you will feel motivated to reach the next goal.  By setting these short term goals, you will be motivated to get to your long-term goal.  Keep this process up and never run out of goals to reach.  You will find yourself more motivated than ever before.

Very true. People may try to dissuade you from reaching your goal as they have their own opinion on things. If you try to follow the advice of others, you may not be happy. Follow your heart, do what is right and you will achieve true happiness.

Success and happiness are all relative to your point of view, assuming that you are referring to personal success.\n\nGoal Setting\nTypically, you will want to set goals for yourself.

If you have got a strong will, a pure spirit and a set goal, you will achieve what ever career you pursue, if people laugh at you, let them, eventually when they will see you at your desired goal then you can ask them and can have the last laugh :)

I’d probably be more inclined to think that happiness is more important than success. But is it a right? I think you have the duty to yourself to be happy first and foremost and that includes being honest to yourself, otherwise you’ll never find true happiness. If along the way should you find success, that would be an added bonus but it would not be more important that finding true happiness. The gathering of material goods is by no means an indicator of having lived a successful or happy life. It just means that you had a lot of stuff that you’d be giving to other people when you die.\n\nPersonally though I don’t think there are any god given rights, as it were.

Pride, knowing that you went out and gave your best.  If you set goals like winning championships or games there are several variables that you can't control (you can't control the level of your competitors or how they play), you can only control how you play.  Set goals for your players to go out and do as much as they can and tell them to play for themselves and their own pride.  \n\nIf you still go out and lose, you can still feel good about yourself knowing that there was nothing else you could do and try again the next day.
