Press Release Body = Often good-intentioned people set forth goals designed to
satiate others rather than themselves. While the intent is honorable, the results
will likely lead to failure. Why? As the somewhat provocative title of this article
indicates, you need to be selfish with your goals and select ones that mean
something to you.

Through segments on the evening news, magazines, talk shows, and even the advice of
family and friends, we are consistently subjected to a whole litany of goals that
anyone with half a brain should strive for. If we were to listen to all the experts,
we would all need to be perfectly fit and rich individuals with at least two college
majors under our belt.


This sounds incredibly selfish, but obviously I\'m not advocating adopting a goal
that would hurt others, and ideally in a committed relationship you and your
significant other would share common goals. But when push comes to shove, if you
choose a goal for someone else rather than yourself you will do yourself a huge
disservice.


Chances are very high the individual would adjust his diet and get off to a good
start. Almost all of us are capable of losing a few pounds during the first couple
weeks, particularly since much of the initial weight loss is water. But during this
time chances are good the dieter will be fairly unhappy, and this unhappiness will
fester over time. Eventually when the body stops losing water weight and shifts into
fat loss, the weight loss will slow down to about a pound or two a week.

Throughout the diet the dieter\'s morale and optimistic outlook on life will suffer,
and this might even affect other areas he was already successful with, such as his
relationship with his family or his business. Eventually he will quit his diet in
disgust, and immediately upon reverting to his old eating habits he will not only
gain what he lost he\'ll also gain even more!

Clearly weight loss is a fantastic goal that can provide a lifetime of benefits, but
it isn\'t for everyone! If you are not passionate about such a goal, you could
actually harm other areas of your life when stress is added and morale and
motivation drops due to your lifestyle change, and then to add insult to injury you
just might end up being heavier.

The above example holds true for every single goal under the sun. Many people love
the business world and all its risks and challenges, but others would rather avoid
the stressful situations and problems that all businessmen face. Perhaps they would
rather live a middle-class lifestyle, stay physically fit and enjoy hiking or
camping trips with a partner over the weekends during the time the business-oriented
are probably working overtime.

Choose only the goals that are compatible with your desires and needs, because
selecting an incompatible goal that society or family advocates is a virtually
guaranteed formula for failure, and can very easily do more harm than good.
