There are a few different reasons why it is so important to set realistic goals. First, setting goals motivates us to actually get the goal completed. We also should be setting smaller goals that are a larger part of a bigger goal. Dopamine is the pleasure chemical and that gets released when we complete our goals so it’s best to aim for goals that we believe are realistic. Finally, goal setting can change your life for the better because it gives us something to accomplish.

- However, creating smaller and much more reachable goals is a good way to build confidence.
