Question

Why is it important to set realistic goals?

Answer 1

A goal is a mission or something you set out to accomplish overtime. So, goals have to be realistic or able to be accomplished, those are realistic goals. Realistic goals are goals that can be possibly be met in a realistic time, place, depending on the person who has made this goal. The person has to ask the question : how long will it take to reach this goal? How will i try to meet this goal? What will i do? Why do I want to reach this goal? Will I be better afterwards? So it is better to set realistic goals, goals that can be reached or you can see yourself being able to accomplish. Dont set a goal for yourself that is unrealistic, things that can't happen fast or perfectly , that are far from your reality. When setting goals thing realisticly, and consider how much time it will take so you will inspire and motivate yourself not to give up until you see change. It may happen fast or slowly overtime. Be patient because realistic goals always can be met. Perseverance is the key. :)

Answer 2

Setting realistic goals is important because it keeps an individual's motivation up. An individual who sets up unrealistic goals is more likely to become discourage through the process and is therefore more likely to give up on the goal. By setting realistic goals, an individual can maintain motivation and stick to established timelines, culminating in the successful completion of a goal.
