Establishing goals helps us to stay focused by shifting from abstract thinking surrounding our current situation, to concrete goals that are relevant and attainable. Goal setting provides a sense of purpose and achievement that inspires and motivates us to reach our goals. And when we work towards something tangible this increases overall confidence, self-esteem, and encourages a mindset of innovation, creativity and passion.
However, sometimes young people have goals that are ambiguous and broad. Or they may be setting a goal that is driven by a negative belief system, or being directly or indirectly dictated by another person.
