Setting goals can help you change and improve, achieve satisfaction, and feel like you are moving through your life and your career with direction. But it isn’t easy; goal-setting takes time and commitment.
Our values are those deep down beliefs we hold about our purpose and our place in the world. Values might be considered our soul’s expression—they tell us who we are.
