5 Life Goals Everyone Should Have

Have You Achieved These 5 Goals?

What do you want in life? What’s important to you? When we hear about life goals, they often sound like something that changes year to year, and usually has to do with making more money or weight loss. But, the real goal is much deeper than that! We feel like money and weight loss and a relationship will bring us- TRUE HAPPINESS and value! We all want happiness and love.

Here are 5 life goals that every person should strive toward, every day.

Examples Of Life Goals

Life goals are different from career goals or short-term goals. They are something that you strive toward, every day, always. I think true happiness is the ultimate life goal.

  • Finding true happiness
  • Integrity
  • Being fulfilled
  • Creating real connections
  • Discovering your self worth

1: True Happiness

Happiness is not really a destination as much as it is a state of mind. A billionaire could be miserable about what they don’t have, while a homeless dude could be happy to score a hot shower and a cooked meal at the local shelter.

Happiness is all about perspective. While goals relating to tangible things like money can prove unsatisfying quests, the search for genuine happiness is one that will help you gain a more fulfilled and serene life.

2: Integrity

From business to interpersonal relationships, when you live life with honesty and commitment to ethical values, you’ll find that a rewarding sense of wholeness awaits you. Integrity is a goal that will help you feel like you’re making the world a better place with your presence.

3: Fulfillment

You can plug away at a nine-to-five job until you retire, but chances are that’s not going to make you live life to

the fullest. You’ll be one of those faceless people in the crowd who live for the weekend—then trudge back to work.

Instead, reflect on who you are, your strengths, your desires, and act accordingly. Whether it’s learning to find meaning at work, a career path that challenges you, engaging with some satisfying hobbies, or making new friends, fulfillment in life is a great goal.

4: Connection

Human beings are social creatures, so forging good relationships is the key to thriving and feeling happy. Family, professional, and personal relationships are all crucial components to providing a sense of connectedness with the rest of humanity—so make good friendships and foster existing links with family.

At the same time, relationships do need boundaries, so learning how to create healthy interactions is also crucial for developing your sense of identity.

5: Self-Worth

Nobody can be successful in life if they’re down in the dumps, so fostering a sense of self-worth is an esteemed goal that every person should pursue. There are many simple ways to do this—for example, treating yourself with dignity and respect by wearing clean clothes and practicing good hygiene. Education is also a key component to developing a sense of worth, because with that knowledge comes better opportunities a sense of security.

Setting and achieving the right life goals can help you live a life filled with happiness and abundance.
