Great. So let's start section two of this core lesson. It's really about why you should have goals. So thinking about why is goal setting so important? What have you heard about the importance of goals or setting goals? Well, today I'd like to take you through three distinct reasons that goals are important for your life, and why you should be setting them.

Number one, goals help you design your future. Now, we just saw this in the previous section with the quote from Jim Rohn. If you recall, life is best lived by design. You want to have control over your life, you want to be the designer of your own life. Now, how many of you remember Alice in Wonderland? Now if you don't recall the author, that person's name was Lewis Carroll, and one of the characters was the Shire cat.

At one point Alice was asking a question She was lost and she wanted to find her way out. The Cheshire Cat asked her well, which way do you want to go? Or where do you want to go? And she wasn't sure. The Cheshire Cat responded by saying, Well, if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. What can you take from that, quote, If you don't have a clear direction, if you're not working on your goals, and you don't know where you're going, you're really not going to go very far.

At least, you're not going to go where you were hoping to go. Number two goals pull you through the hard times. Now we all have our aspirations for the future when we set these goals and we run into obstacles. Looking at these goals, being clear on these goals, and especially knowing why we set these goals will help us continue through these obstacles. All too often, people quit when things get hard. It's inevitable that you will face it.

Difficulty and self doubt on your struggle to success goals will help you remember what you're doing and why you're doing it. And number three, goals can transform your life. And this is truer than you may think. Once you're clear on where you want to go in life, and you're clear on all of the goals that you've set, then you find direction, and you really start going down that path at an accelerated speed. You start accomplishing one, two or three goals, you build your confidence. And then the next thing you know, you've built this momentum that's going to keep pushing you further down the road towards success.

And then one day not far from then you look back and you can compare who you are today to who you were yesterday, and the difference can be really surprising in a positive way. So there you have it. These are three special reasons that goals are important. Not only to have not only to set, but to continue to strive toward, and those are as the following. Number one, they give you a design for your future, they give you the control over your life. Number two, they pull you through tough times, because there are always obstacles in front of us.

We just can't escape that reality. So be prepared for them. And goals help you with that preparation. And number three, they transform your life. You'll be so surprised once you have a clear set of goals. And once you continue to work on those goals, that they really change the person that you are, and they help you become the person you want to be.

So I hope you found value in this particular lesson that you better understand why it's so important to set goals. And let's get ready for the next section. We're going to do a warm up to get you mentally prepared. To start setting these goals, Okay, see you very soon
