“A man or woman without a goal is like a ship without a rudder. Each will drift and
not drive. Each will end up on the beaches of despair, defeat and despondency.”

The importance of goals during a crisis
2020 wrought havoc with many peoples lives and businesses due to the Coronavirus epidemic.
It’s likely that, in the midst of such a crisis, you’re managing competing priorities, which can
make it easy to put an indefinite hold on the performance process; however, a shared vision
and goals to help meet your vision, are more important than ever if you are to come through
the other side of a crisis with clarity and a better chance of securing the maximum happiness
optimisation of your human potential.
Do you have the inner desire to be, do and have more? Setting goals starts with finding
something you really want, breaking it down into bite size pieces and blocking out the negative
messages that are especially present during the times of crisis.
Whether you thrived during the COVID-19 months or still in your are in your Lockdown pajamas
reading this on your phone while eating last night’s melted ice cream like soup, you probably
had some big ideas before the crisis about the multiple projects you would accomplish while
you were isolating at home. Odds are, you have not started them all yet. Maybe you haven’t
started any.
NOW is the time to take the rudder of your ship. Bringing all you have read and heard in the
sessions up to this point together, you will be better equipped to set the goals that will deliver the
happier life you truly deserve.
