Setting Goals
Getting Started
Accomplishing Your Goal
Everyone has dreams. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives.
The procrastinator in all of us doesn't have to win. The Little Engine That Could was on to something with the whole "I think I can" mentality. With just a little bit of planning, accomplishing a goal is a simple task.

or "I'd like to win a Scrabble tournament." Specific, definable goals help you stay on track and let you know they're feasible.
An unspecific goal,
