Setting realistic goals is important for people because it reminds them of their interest and what they need to do in order to achieve it. It builds up their confidence and motivates them to work hard and not give up on it. Even if the goals they make are really challenging, it will boost their ability to always work harder than before. Time sensitive goals are important as well because it is a goal that will not be available forever. It can help them work even better than they could ever imagine. It helps them raise their expectations and create more goals throughout their life.
My goals this year are pretty straight forward. They are to get A's in all of my classes and to work hard in the sport that I always love playing which is soccer. I just want to show my family that every year I work hard and I won't give up.
My future goals are basically to graduate from high school and go into a four-year university. I haven't thought a lot on which one specifically. I just want to land in one that will give me a good review on my resume. Now career wise I also haven't thought a lot about either because I mainly want to focus on what's happening now. However that doesn't mean I won't ever think about it, I just don't want to get ahead of myself. Really I just want to be live a happy life and be successful.
What you say is a good idea, that you focus on the present. However, I do think that it is a good idea to think about the future sometimes and to not just follow everyone's plan after high school.
