The Important Essentials List:

The number one resource I personally use for motivation and reaching goals. It's the little things you do that can reap you tons of beneftis along with a grand sense of accomplishment. Check out Everything Counts!

Try unique goal setting activities such as this one to help determine your core values and important essentials as it relates to your goals. You can download the free tool here. The idea is to use the list to determine those things/people/conditions you feel are important in order for you to live a full and happy life.

To give you an idea, I've listed examples from my own Important Essentials list. In no particular order, here are some of the things my list contains:

Contentment
Medical Insurance
Enough income to cover basic needs, and expenses such as food and shelter
Be self-reliant in generating income outside of a job
Life long learning
Retirement fund
Time with Family
Strong relationship with God

You can really learn a lot about yourself when you complete exercises such as this. While I'm sure you are anxious to jump right into setting your goals, I suggest you take the time, upfront, to do the necessary preparation. Therefore, be sure to check out and do the other free activities listed in the goals' menu. There is a reason that only 3% of people accomplish their goals. You must take the time to set yourself up for success.
