(VISION) An Introduction To Goal Foundations

Goal setting can be quite tricky.
Most people think it's just about setting yourself a target and working towards it. Whilst that is a basic definition of goal setting, this attitude often leads to two outcomes:

1) NOT achieving the goal you have set because there is no clarity of vision.

or

2) NOT being motivated to put your all into this goal that you have set.

Why does this occur though?

I don't think that there is enough emphasis placed on the foundation of goal setting. People often think solely of the desired outcome of achieving a goal without necessarily considering the reasons as to why this goal should be pursued.The foundation level of your goal can be strengthened by asking the right questions. For example - WHY do you want to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and WHAT can achieving this goal do for others?
Understanding a little bit more about the internal as well as external motivators when it comes to your goal setting will keep you on track in the long term- if the foundation is weak , the 'house' is at risk from a number of external forces outside of your control e.g. negative opinions or adversity. Set a strong goal foundation and keep yourself accountable.

What Is Masculinity?

It has recently become an interest of mine to explore the question “what is masculinity?”. Masculinity has long been associated with power, dominance, and authority but often, these components are in reference to   particular groups of people. Generally speaking, the most common form of masculinity is embodied by white, middle class and usually heterosexual men. This is sometimes referred to as "hegemonic" masculinity (although the term and it's ideas are  a lot more complex once you read further in to it).  There are however many other forms of masculinity that identifying men use to express themselves. Mas culinity, like most forms of social identity is  performative – this means that as men we perform masculinity in reference to what we think best embodies or defines the term. So to clarify, whilst hegemonic is largely viewed as the dominant form of masculinity, it is not the only form that exists.  Often though, men try to emulate dominant i...
