Setting goals is a way to vocalize or record your desires. It also provides a means to outline a body of work to accomplish something in life. What are qualities that are important to keep in mind when creating goals for yourself, and why are they important?
I will start by saying one quality is the fact goals have to be tangible. If their is not possibility of accomplishing a goal, it was not realistic in the first place may better be described as a dream.

SMART goals is the key...
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely or Time Bound
AND find someone to hold you accountable to the goal!
Your boss, your spouse, your battle buddy, anyone else you can tell and will hold you to it.

I absolutely agree with attainable is a screening criteria, as it helps define the direction.

Couldn't agree with you more. For someone like me to say I want to go to the moon at almost 51 years of age, 100% disabled with the memory problems would be the dumbest thing I could do to myself as well as waist others time. But to say I'd like to get my motorcycle licenses again to ride a trike it is bordering the limits of what would be attainable, as long as I'm not putting others in harm's way.
If you do not or can not be honest with yourself about yourself, "you will set yourself up for failure". This would be a nagitive type of failure.

One of the hardest things about writing tangible or realistic goals is the self-reflection required. However, to have quality goals it is a must. Thanks for your comment.

I believe the picture you posted with the question illustrates my take on goals. It's important to be well rounded as an individual. Too often we associate our goals around our career...or the annual New Year's resolution (physical). We should set goals in all of the areas listed above to ensure that we don't stagnate in any facet of our lives & continue to push forward in order to maximize our lives!
