"Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."

-Mark Victor Hansen

When you set a goal for yourself you are basically saying that you are going to achieve that goal. When you set a goal you are saying that you're going to do something. An example of this could be with school. You can set a goal that says that you want to be a straight A student and if you actually believe it, then you will be a straight A student. So when you set a goal you get a goal, set and get. Another example could be with a race. If you want to be the fastest one and win first place you must set that goal. But, you can't just set goals and expect to accomplish them with no effort. you must try your hardest to complete your goals.
