Setting Goals:

The highest indicator of success is the passion to pursue well-defined goals. A Ford Foundation study indicated that:

23% of the population has no idea what they want from life.
67% of the population has a general idea of what they want, but they don't have any plans for how to get it.
Only 10% of the population has specific, well-defined goals, but even then, seven out of ten of those people reach their goals only half of the time.
The top 3% achieve their goal 89% of the time.

Researchers working on this project found that, of all the possible variables, the only difference between the top performers and the rest was that the top 3% wrote down their goals.

There may not be an overall general life purpose, but there certainly is individual purpose. Uncovering one's purpose — “dharma” — removes mental distractions and brings a sense of inner peace, the experience that all is well. In my experience, the best tool to uncover or connect with one's dharma, which really has nothing to do with the social construct of success, is meditation. If you don't have a meditation practice yet, start today, even for 7 minutes. The return on your time spent in silence is one of the best investments you will make.
