Your goals are essential to connecting your transcendent purpose with the daily tasks you will accomplish each day to advance in your purpose.
Without a life plan, your daily tasks will tend to be dissociated from what matters the most and will fail to provide much meaning to you. Having and living according to a life plan will help you perceive measurable progress in everything that matters most to you each day.
In order to fully transmit the meaning of your purpose down to the tasks you will accomplish each day, your goals must be completely aligned with the rest of your life plan. Your goals should demonstrate who you are, as described in your qualities section. They should also be prioritized based on your values.
Goals are an essential way to enjoy the journey towards your purpose. When fully aligned with your purpose, your goals give you a way to advance the joy you foresee in their eventual accomplishment down to the tasks that might otherwise be boring or meaningless. Formulating what it takes to accomplish your desires links the joy you associate with the outcome to the otherwise boring, difficult, or meaningless tasks you need to do to accomplish your goal.
Good goals will justify tasks that are more challenging than you would otherwise undertake. Goals give you sufficient reason to do more and better than you otherwise would. Without them, you will lack the motivation and meaning to act up to the fullness of your potential. With them, you have an exact measure to which you must stretch in order to match the meaning you are after.
