Choosing a target is not so easy as it seems at first glance. And it is necessary to approach it with the utmost care. Otherwise, the one who does not want to choose his own goals himself risks embodying other people's all his life. And as one of the wise said, there is no greater misfortune than to discover at the end of your life that you spent all the time allotted to you on the fields of other people's battles.

Step 1
Most of the goals are difficult to achieve because they are vaguely formulated. Most people don't know what they need at all. If you don't know where you are going, you will certainly come to the wrong place. Therefore, take a piece of paper, a pen and write down all your desires, since some of them may well be goals.
Write down specific goals, not vague ones like "find an interesting job" or "live well." Answer yourself to the questions about how many meters should be in the large apartment you want, what kind of business you want to be engaged in, what color is the interior of your future car.
Specify your desire as much as possible. If it does not lend itself to concretization, then it is not a goal at all or a goal imposed on you from the outside.
Be sure to check all your goals for "lice", that is, for belonging to you, and not to your aunt or parents. That is, its achievement will be beneficial to you in the first place.
Step 2
The goal for your self-realization should lie at the intersection of several areas - your resources, capabilities and talents, as well as desires. That is, the achievement and (this is important!) The process of achieving this goal must cause you a feeling of pleasure, sincere interest; you must have a penchant for activities related to the goal (like drawing, for example, wanting to become an artist) and have certain resources (have good eyesight, observation, a certain mindset). If the goal does not meet these criteria, feel free to abandon it.
Step 3
Determine the deadline for achieving the goal and the steps you need to take to make it happen. Let the timing be approximate, but describe the steps in detail. Assess what resources you lack to achieve your goal, and come up with ways to get those resources.
For example, in order to create brilliant works of painting, you may lack professional training (we are looking for teachers or go to a specialized university) and material components (canvas, professional paints, brushes, a workshop, a certain nature, and so on).
