Sometime back, Seth Godin wrote a thought provoking post on goals. He mentioned that it's really easy to not have goals and live in the present. But that is what most of us do. And those who walk that extra mile, deliver, and make an impact are the people who have goals. They set goals and don't lose sight of it till they have achieved them.

I wish we all could be like them. How many of you have kept up with your new year resolutions? It has been only few days since you made those promises to yourself. But I can bet that most of you have already given up. And that's the thing about goals. Setting them is easy. Losing sight of them...easier.

I am not someone who achieves every goals he sets; I struggle and procrastinate too. But I have improved over the past few months. And I have realized that just thinking about a goal doesn't help you achieve it. There are certain other factors which should be taken into consideration while setting goals and while trying to achieve them.
