6 Reasons Failures Don’t Set Goals
I harshened up the title a little, but it’s warranted. One of the most prevalent truisms I’ve heard about success is you must set goals [And just a goal of 'success' doesn't really cut it].
The sixth reason why people do not set goals is they lack the inner desire to want something greater then what they currently have.
For them, the ordinary or even sub-ordinary is sufficient. These people do not believe they can reach or deserve success because society has conditioned them into thinking they are ordinary people and therefore must do ordinary things. It can also be caused by failure, criticism, and other reasons as to why people do not set goals.
This final reason is closely linked to laziness. Although you may have a complete understanding of how important goal setting is and how it could improve your life and successes, that desire to act on that understanding may just not be there. And that’s what laziness is.

This is a great comment but if you are a person who has been conditioned to think that they (you) are ordinary how do you overcome it? Of course positive thinking is always there ut what if you have lost the idea of why you do what you do and have been “beat down” on a daily basis and feel bad abot that. Also, how do you get yourself out of the conditioned thinking of being beat down? I feel that so many people are critisized daily on how they do things and how it could be better. Is it always about improving yourself to get out of your ordinary thinking? What if you don’t know how to improve yourself? Does this mean its time to move on to something else? What if you go through your day or even into your day thinking,”Oh lord, what will today bring?”

It looks to me like the person you describe as a success will never achieve happiness (or at least not contentment).

Not everyone wants goals. For some, the journey is the reward. He who dies with the most toys wins? How about enjoying time with family, having a few close friends, doing good deeds to help others. These are daily pleasures that for many people don’t require goals, and contribute more to true happiness than any amount of “achievement”.
