What is your objective?

Since I was little I was convinced that in order to succeed at something, you need to know exactly what your objectives are. If you don’t think you have any objective, then you didn’t ask yourself the right questions. Either you know your objectives and you know why you do everything you do, or you don’t.
However, while that’s true, at least from my perspective, more and more people start doing things without thinking enough about their actions and objectives, especially when it comes to work.
Too many people start working online without even knowing why they do it, without having a reason and an objective for their actions. They just want to do something with their free time, but they don’t know what should be the end result.
I could never understand how those people expect to have any kind of success, without even knowing where they are heading and without having a clue how their success should look like. If you are doing something without having an objective, I can’t see how you expect to succeed.
I don’t say it’s impossible, but I’m sure it’s gonna be harder. If you start working for the sake of working, and if you don’t think about your next step, I’m pretty sure you’ll get lost, and most people would give up in that scenario.
Let’s take as an example a person who recently starts to write here, on Medium. What does he want to achieve? Does he want to become a really great writer and be famous? Or is he trying to make as much money as possible? Maybe he just wants to be able to write better, and he’s exercising by creating articles.
No matter what the case is, if that person has a certain objective in mind, he will always have a clue about what his next step should be. If he’s here to become a really good writer, then he needs to write a lot, he needs to learn a lot about writing and he needs to think about interesting subjects to talk about in his articles.
If he’s here to make money, he needs to write things that will get people interested in his work, so he can get a lot of followers, and then sell them all kind of products.
If he’s here to become a better writer, then all he needs to do is focus on the basics of writing, and practice as much as possible.
But if that person writes articles without having a reason? What should be his next step? What does he need to do next? What kind of articles does he need to write, and what lessons does he need to learn?
That’s why you need an objective. That’s why you should always know what you want from your actions and from your work. If you know what you want to achieve, you’ll always know what your next step is, and that will make things easier and will get you better results.
