If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there. - Yogi Berra
When starting with goal setting I was being helped with my goals by someone. She took a look at them and said "This is bullshit!" I remember being taken aback at first. She went on to explain that I was writing things down that I thought others wanted for me or things that I thought would make me look good. When I got what she was really saying to me, I was extremely grateful and inspired. So rarely does someone you have just met care enough about your life to be that honest with you. This was the beginning of my goal setting days. Fast forward to the present, two years later, and I have just written some goals that truly inspire me. I wrote them for myself.
This journey of figuring out where your going and what you want is a tough one. You're fighting the word 'no' and the belief that the world is not really full of that many possibilities. What I am here to tell you is that the world is full of them. It's gonna take hard work and it is not always going to be easy but the work is worth it.

A good reference for "Finding Your Source" of motivation is Wayne Dyer. Excuses BE Gone is just one of his many books that provide inspiration and a clear look at the barriers that keep us from setting authentic goals.
