System: Focus: Goal Setting

Imagine playing a game of basketball without knowing what the object of the game was. How much fun would that be? How good could you possibly play? In life, we need reasons for what we do. Goals keep us from just reacting to what's going on around us. Goals can inspire and motivate. They help us make our life happen rather than letting it happen. Most of all, Goals produce results.

Goals are at the heart of the SparkPeople System. The good feeling and confidence that come from a steady stream of progress are great motivators. Setting and reaching a string of goals, no matter how small, is a regular dose of satisfaction that may one day bloom into pure inspiration.
