This document discusses goal setting and provides a self-test to assess how focused one's life and goals are. It defines what goals and goal setting are, the features of good goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound), and how to achieve goals by focusing on them, taking action, working at them daily, and avoiding obstacles. The overall message is on the importance of setting smart goals and taking steps to realize one's goals in order to have a sense of direction and purpose.
