Why does this work, and how does this work. In goal setting, this information transpires in the form of you and your mind.Basically goal setting works because of 2 important components. That is you and your subconscious mind. When you have a goal and set it, you ultimately pass instructions to your infinitely powerful subconscious mind - or super computer to focus on the achievement of the goal you have set.In essence that is goal setting theory. We don't have to delve deeper. We don't have to become experts. We simply need to understand the principle and move forward.As soon as a goal is thought of, you are focusing.

THE HIGHEST ASPIRATION OF MAN OUGHT TO BE HAPPINESS

2009-03-15T16:52:00.000-07:00

There is a very widely held opinion, that the highest goal in life, and therefore the highest aspiration of man, ought to be Happiness. Against this I have sought, if not to demonstrate, then at least to assert that both men and societies must strive to realize all three Ideals, passing over none of them. Every man and every people has a right to be happy, has an obligation to be useful, and must strive for perfection. When they are unwilling or unable to do so, their lives and characters are crippled, made monstrous.
[...] Even as none of the three Ideals — Utility, Perfection and Happiness — may be neglected, since they form an intimate whole much as do a head, trunk and limbs, so none of the three Faculties of the soul — Mind, Feeling and Will — may be passed over, since they too form a single organism, since they too are as intimately bound together as a head, trunk and limbs.
But in developing, too, the faculties of the soul, a certain order must be maintained, namely: most vigorously to form the Will, after it the Mind, and after that — Feeling. This order is more particularly important to us Poles, who up to now have practiced just the opposite. [...]
In commending Utility to my compatriots, I am not recommending some contrived theory. I am merely disclosing to their eyes a universal fact and saying:
"You must be useful, because the whole world is useful, because utility is one of the most universal laws. The more useful one can be to his intimates, to his neighbors, to society, to civilization, the better are his chances of existence. But he who is unable to be useful will perish helpless and unmourned...
We must be useful to everyone, or at least to those who are useful to us — that is the law of exchange of services.

SO GOOD WAS HIS EMOTIONAL BANKING

2009-03-15T16:16:00.000-07:00

A friend who is terribly good at this skill was stuck beside a
titled business executive throughout a long and boring dinner.
Narrowly rejecting the option of getting quietly inebriated he
decided to invest a little energy in the conversation. The only
topic offering the barest flicker of enthusiasm for my friend was
the venetian blind business this man’s son had just purchased.
So good was his emotional banking (he has never owned or
even noticed a venetian blind in his life) that the executive
wrote to him the very next day, offering him all sorts of
discounts on every available blind. It was the last thing he
would have wanted, but he did admit that it had made a potentially
boring evening into an amusing if somewhat bizarre
exchange.
