Goals are both important and varied for a lot of people. They can be anything that you want spanning any kind of thing. Whether that is to open your own shop to becoming the leader of a company. The thing is with any goal there needs to be work or in other words action steps that have to be taken to get there and it isn't going to be easy.
Plus it isn't going to happen right away, so it also takes a whole lot of patience to reach our goals and once we get to whatever the goal is we still have to work at it because if we stop doing the work then it will all go downhill and be ruined. We can't get lazy when we reach the top because if that happens then all that hard work that we put in to get to where we want to will all be for nothing.
The flip side to this is that if we have a family that we are trying to support we have to be able to make time for them and not push them to the side. Yes it's important to do what we need to do for whatever that goal was, but family is important as well. If we are working non-stop 24/7 not only will we be ignoring our family we will be running ourselves to the ground because of all that work we are doing. We have to be able to put time aside to spend with our family/be able to rest, but also on growing that business to its full potential.
Our goals aren't going to happen by themselves. We are going to need to work at it, on the research and the building, for it to come to fruition. On top of that we can't....or well shouldn't do it alone because we all need help from time to time. Asking for help is a huge thing for me because I would rather I do it alone then ask for help and I take it that there is people who do/think the same thing. It isn't healthy to do that though because there are going to be times where we will have to take a step back or step down from our own pride and ego in order to get the help we need. If we want our goals to be reached then we are going to need all the help and support we can get.
I like that you added how important it is to not only have goals, but to also have a good balance between hard work and quality family life. This is a huge benefit to your entire family and will probably have a positive effect on the support they provide towards the goal as well.
