ALL behavior, all our actions, are “goal oriented”. From micro-goals of getting a drink to relieve thirst to life-long goals that may not be realized for years. Satisfaction, happiness, or success is constantly monitored as a comparison between internal goals and the objective reality or outcome of our actions. Competence and esteem comes from attaining goals and discouragement and dependence from regular failure to do so. In many ways this means we are always internally “future oriented” in a range from next few seconds to years from now.
So knowing you goals and intentions, consciously, can lead to valuable learning and insight regarding your true effectiveness, how you succeed, why you fail, and how adaptive you are to finding solutions and not getting “hung up” on problems. Like the old saying goes, “if at first you do not succeed...”. What is your goal? Is it realistic and reasonable? What is the internal (personal) and external outcome you seek? How will you measure it?
Remember, there is ALWAYS a goal, it is always used to measure satisfaction, and not knowing or understanding it consciously does not mean you will be free from those 2 realities.
