So for example, you have three long term goals that all take two years to achieve, then that means for two years you will be working to achieve your goal without attaining a single one. Two years would seem a long time to go without having an achieved goal; this is the reason why short term goals are essential, it will balance things out.

Identifying your goals for the long term as well as the short term may be a little bit hard to balance. Learning how to set goals in a way that your goals themselves actually help you achieve them will bring about great results.

On the other hand, if you only have short term goals and no long term goals, then the result is that you won’t have a distinct focus for the future. Achieving short term goals is great and gives you a sense of accomplishment, but do you know the reason why are you achieving them? Without the long term goal, all you will have is a number of achieved goals that would not mean much in the long run.

The best way to achieve what you really want in life is to first set your long term goals. By doing it this way, you will have more focus for your life and it will serve as a constant reminder as to the reason why you are doing everything else; long term goal gives you direction, a purpose. After determining your long term goal, that’s the time to make your short term goals that will support your long term plan in life.

You may have already been doing this without knowing it but being conscious of your short term goals will help you stay motivated because once you achieve a short term goal you have a sense of accomplishment that will make you press forward on all your other goals.
