It is important to make goals for the different stages in your life. I do not believe it is important to know every single goal for every stage at this moment but to at least have a sense of what you may want to accomplish in the next one to five years.
I am going to come up with five goals to reach before I turn 30 which is only a few years out.
1.) I would like to publish two pieces of written work.
2.) I would like to have one child. (this could definitely change and that is okay).
3.) I would like to travel to three places that I have never been to before.
4.) I would like to have a successful career as a Graphic Designer, or be a full time Writer.
5.) I would like to be fit and eating better.
Now, it is not imperative that you meet every goal you make, they are goals for a reason. Just try your hardest and re-evaluate every now and then. If you decide that perhaps a goal has changed, that is fine. Goals make life more interesting and give us something to look forward to. Make sure that you celebrate when you reach a goal and not to be too hard on yourself if you miss your goal. Best wishes and good luck.
