If Goal Setting Affected Reality…
We’ve talked about the benefits of setting and recording goals here, but few articles have explored the concept of goat setting actually directly affecting real outcomes out of your control.
This article from Mr Wang Says So takes a karmic look at things by arguing that when you continuously write out all your goals and aspirations the real world will help you achieve them.
What this might more likely result in is you noticing more opportunities when they present themselves, where you would normally miss them.
Through constant repetition by writing, you’re programming your unconscious mind to accept that your goals are possible, or likely, or realistic, or even already fulfilled. Then your unconscious mind will start bending reality to make your goals come true.

I find goat setting to be useless. They just get up and walk away.

I don’t think even the linked article adequately deals with this important bovine-related subject.

goats aren’t bovine, they’re caprine! you clearly need to further explore the concept of goat setting if you’re making mistakes like that.

This sounds a lot like the Law of Attraction and the movie The Secret – the idea that thoughts can affect reality alone. There’s no scientific basis behind it, but it’s a fun idea to experiment with.

The Secret is paranoia in reverse: the universe is conspiring to make you happy. Only the truly insane could believe such fantasies.
