Goals are an important and effective way to spark motivation. They serve to energise the goal setter into action, either through intrinsic motivation (e.g., the feeling of satisfaction you get when you achieve a goal and subsequent increased confidence or self-esteem) or through extrinsic motivation (e.g., an end of year bonus is dependent on achieving your goals).
