My Number One Rule: Goal Setting

                                                                     My Number One Rule

 My number one rule is to meet the goals that you have set for yourself. My reasoning behind why this is my number one rule is that if you are able to meet certain goals you have set for yourself, your future will hold many more opportunities. Your goals will also be your guide to help you determine what steps need to be taken to achieve the future you've always wanted.

 Goals can be compared to other things that we use in our life, such as a blueprint. A blueprint tells you were certain pieces must go in order to assemble one final creation. Goals are similar. They show what steps need to be are necessary to achieve that final goal. Another example is the game of Jenga. The objective of the game is to remove each game piece from the original structure of a tower assembled completely from wooden blocks. If you make the wrong move, the tower comes down. Goals also are similar to this game. If you affect the foundation of goals you have made for yourself, your ultimate goal might not be achieved.

 Keeping the foundation of goals is very important. Even if one goal of yours is affected, your whole plan might go wrong. If this happens, your final result might be failure. Jeoparding your goals in any kind form will most likley lead to failure. An example would be hanging out your friends, instead of doing homework. This is not helping you, it only sets you back. That is why keeping a solid foundation and avoiding situations that lead to failure is important.

 In my opinion, goals are very important to your everyday life. Whether it's getting up for school or doing your homework, each goal plays a major part in your life. Sometimes goals run the way you do things. An example is knowing you will do something rather then just saying it. "I will do my homework when I get home and I won't let anything distract me", is just saying it. writing it out and avoiding procrastanation are steps you are taking in order for you to complete your task or goal. I think goals can lead you to success or be your biggest downfall. If you follow them, success is most likley the resuly, if you don't, failure could result. this is why I think goals are important
