Happy people pursue goals

"And remember, life is about the big picture and the small; life goals, five-year goals, yearly goals, monthly, weekly, and daily goals.  I love to not only think about the big picture in my life and work, for the small goals as well....

"And that day will be added to other days that will give me a week's success, a month's success, and so on....

"Make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely, commonly known as SMART goals.  Dream big, but make that big dream something real that is able to be attained, measured, and can fit into the real world of time and deadlines.  Real, attainable, and structural goals will engage you and help you feel successful along the way.

"God made you like him, a person who is creative, has talents, brains, and abilities, and can see into a future that does not yet exist.  Goals will help you bring all those together.  Create your dreams, large and small, and engage your talents and abilities to create the tomorrow that you envision.  It will definitely add to your happiness." - Henry Cloud in The Law of Happiness

We need things to look forward to.  Goals, long and short term give us a reason to get moving.
