That is, goals that do not inspire them enough to take action" This goes hand in hand with what Tony Robbins once stated, it went something like “People are not lazy, they simply do not have impotent goals.

But i consider that there's no quite divide between the two. Both work in synergy. There is no value without goals and vice versa. Ironically, goals are sometimes disguised in the course of getting values; once the heart is set on something, ultimately, goal is set and what is birthed thereof is the value. In programming, i think it could be likened to "attribute" and "value". A valuable attempt to disconnect between goals and values. But i consider that there’s no quite divide between the two.

While you are working toward that distant goal, what about right now? I touched on this in my article Redefining Our Ultimate Goals . I’m a strong believer in goals, but at some level traditional goal setting seems to conflict with living in the present, being happy now, and a lot of other things I and others talk about. Should you sacrifice yourself now for some future goal? Maybe, but then again maybe it won’t be worth it when you get there. [...] [...] A Values-Based Approach to Goals Let’s cut right to the chase.

Research has shown that self-monitoring of your goals is the key to achieving them, no matter what they are. As well as reinforcing the motivation to succeed at a goal, and giving more attention to it, it also creates awareness into how you are progressing and what areas you need to improve. There's a free web site called GoalHappy.com that allows you to do this and to also let your friends and family track your progress for extra encouragement!

I personally have never really had any goals. Never knew what they were, or was never instructed how to present to achieve. So, therefore, I feel I have been more motivated by the person I am, hence the value system. I guess I never really thought about it before, until I read your post. The beauty of analyzing a value system is that I can now work to actually pinpoint my values, and work towards creating concrete goals, and thereby be more clear on what it is I enjoy in life, and what new things I would like to approach. The road is never easily paved, but the act of just trying to develop this more concrete lifestyle can give creation to a new path in life. Thanks Stephen!! Stephen,

Too much focus on the goal, if it takes you away from falling in love with the path (the moment, the now, the whatever), is reason enough to look for another way. I feel you on saying that your personal freedom is more important than any goal. It's true. No goal can ever bring the kind of freedom you're talking about. The thing about goals is, that when you get there all you want to do is set another one. I know this to be true because setting big goals (to me they feel big) and putting a short time frame to reach them, is all I do in my life. so if we all know this intellectually, then we must find a practical way to fall in love with the path to our goals. The freedom you're searching for is there, on the path... I think :) hey man, Really think you and Cath are onto something with looking at traditional goal setting and removing what is broken.
