When I started setting goals, I realized that goal-setters progress quicker than non-goal-setters. Besides progress, I experienced the following benefits of goal-setting:

Goal Setting Proves that the Law of Attraction Works

According to The Law of Attraction, you attract what you constantly think about. I never believed in this law until I embraced goal-setting and realized that I achieved some of my goals because I constantly thought about them. For example, in 2015, one of my main goals was to get an exotic dog. I didn’t have the money to buy the dog but I eventually got it. I know you are wondering how I got the dog.

Here’s how?

After writing down the goal, I became obsessed with getting a dog and I spent a lot of time thinking and talking about how I will get a dog.

A few months later, my friend’s dog fell sick, and I offered to take care of it. One day as I was taking it to the vet, I met a friend’s friend who asked me to take care of his dog because he was traveling.

I accepted the offer, and after a few weeks, the dog owner told me to keep it because he was too busy for the dog. And that’s how I got Bobby, the best dog in the world.

By the way, Bobby was pregnant when I got her, and she gave birth to six pups on 9^th October 2015.

Goal Setting Proves That You Don’t Have to Know the ‘How.’

Setting big goals and achieving them motivated me to dream big because I realized that I don’t have to know HOW I will achieve my goals.

In 2015, one of my goals was to relocate to Nairobi (Kenya’s Capital City), but I didn’t have the money for relocation. I didn’t know how I would raise the money but I just wrote down the goal.

Five months later, my friend Silas informed me about a vacancy at his workplace, which was in the city. I went to the city, passed the job interview, and my parents funded the relocation. It happened so fast. I didn’t know how it happened, but it happened. I found myself working and living in Nairobi.
