Goal Setting & Growth

At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why?

After going through this entire year my goals have now changed as I now know where I'm going to college and what I'm going for the next four years. Now my goals are just finishing strong in high school and relaxing over the summer (well at least trying to) before starting the next four years of my life. I want to have a job that will let me have the freedom to make what I want and be able to help but also probably make stuff explode. Another goal I have for myself is that I want to have my own shop in my house with all the tool, computers and plane parts I would ever need to build something I could fly down the street. I have these goals set for myself so that I can have both a long term goal that I could foresee my self doing in 10 years but also a short term goal that can be done within a couple of months or years. Having both types of goals make me work harder because I know that if I can do one I can do both.

How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving this goal? (or these goals?)

I demonstrate resilience for these goals by having them be easy for shortest term and maybe for challenging for the longer term goals as having shorter goals makes longer one seem more reachable. Having a mental fortitude like this can help anyone do anything and if your goal is make $1,000,000 you have to start with the first $100 and once you have it the $1,000,000 doesn't seem so hard now.

How does the world around you affect your perception of this goal? (or these goals?)

My world affects my perception of my goals as with the mass inflation and increasing interest rates. The prices of everything has gone up this makes many people future goals just that much more "unreachable" because everything being more expensive leads to people needing to work much harder for the same thing because companies need to increase their profit margins. All of this leads to my perception of my goals being still very much attainable just that much harder but I will still work for these goals to eventually achieve them.
