This overview emphasizes the vital role of values and goals in shaping an individual’s lifestyle. Values represent core beliefs that provide direction and meaning, while goals break down these values into actionable steps. Short-term goals are characterized by their immediacy and realism, while long-term goals offer broader life direction requiring more time to achieve. Effective goal-setting follows specific guidelines, ensuring that goals are clear, achievable, and growth-facilitating. The decision-making process is essential for evaluating and reaching these goals, enhancing personal development and decision quality.
