What is the purpose of setting aims?

Answer 1

The purpose of setting your aim on something or setting your goals is that without some type of goal you have no drive in any specific direction in life. We all should at some time set some goals for our lives. Setting one goal is fine but things can change and you need to progress in another direction rather than spin your wheels or sit there dazed. To set a goal is to look to the future. Where will I be in twenty years? What will I want to be doing or have in thirty years. You need to have something to train for, prepare for, and most importantly, pray for.

Setting goals for short term things is just as important. If you have a science project due in three weeks, it would be good to set your aim on the end project and set goals to acheive along the way. What do you need to have accomplished on day three of the project? What do you need to have ready on day 8 of the project? With goals you can do things in an orderly fashion and keep to schedule. With aim, you will know what you want and what you have to strive for.
