A new year\u2014and a new decade\u2014is right around the corner, which means it\u2019s time to visualise the kind of student and person you want to become via your goals for 2020. Whether your aspirations are individual, academic, financial, or career-focused, goal setting is one of the most dynamic tools for happiness, vitality, health, and success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are goals so important? <\/span>Mario McCracken<\/span><\/a> explains in his Inc. article: \u201cGoals provide clarity.

Determine What You Genuinely Want to Achieve <\/span><\/h3>\n

Motivation is the outflow of desire. Asking yourself a series of questions can help you understand what you\u2019re passionate about and what you want this year. We borrowed a list from professor and communications expert <\/span>Megy Karydes<\/span><\/a>, to get you started. Ask yourself the following questions: <\/span><\/p>\n
