If you have ever been highly motivated to accomplish a goal in the past, this achievement was probaly tied to something you valued a great deal. Most of what you do in life centers around what is truly important to you. You cannot got excited about achieving a goal or be disciplined enough to stick to it unless you definitely want to make it happen. If you really want to run a marathon, for example, you have to pay the price of long hours of practice, getting up early in the morning, and running when others are sleeping or playing. If you hate running, but you set a goal to complete a marathon in record time because your father was a champion runner and expects the same of you, you are not likely to achieve this goal, Your goals must relate to your personal value system.
Values, self-esteem, motivation, and goal setting are all mixed up together, making it diffiicult to separate one from the other. What you try to accomplish is directly connected to those things, ideas, and concepts that you value most. Values are central beliefs and attitudes that make you a unique person, while greatly impacting your choices and your personal lifestyle. If you cherish an attitude or belief, many or your actions will be centered around this ideal.
