Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.4 – Long-Term Goals That Motivate Clients: Long-term goals give direction and purpose to daily effort. They are the “why” behind smaller targets. They create a vision that keeps you going during setbacks. Dreaming big gives meaning to small steps. Long-term goals should feel exciting yet realistic. Breaking them into stages keeps the process manageable. Seeing steady improvement fuels determination. Tracking long-term progress shows how far you’ve come. It helps you adjust as life changes without losing sight of purpose. Strong long-term vision keeps motivation alive through every phase.
