Goal setting is great in theory. You think about what you would like to have happen, and then you set goals of how to get there, and you work on each step of your plan until your goal is achieved. Unfortunately, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say. Setting the goal does not necessarily accomplish the task, and this can be extremely discouraging, especially after failure to meet your goals seems to creep up time and time again. What can be done about this?
The first thing to do is to recognize the difference between large and small goals, and large and small failures. Many people set large goals for themselves, and are unable to see that bumps along the road are only small failures. The one does not cancel out the other. This is a matter of perspective. One cannot set high goals without expecting high failures until they learn the new terrain. Many lost people have covered a lot of territory in search for the way home. However, if one gives up after the first attempt fails, home will never be found because you are no longer searching for it.
Failure means complete and total defeat in the minds of many people. Failure is the be all end all of badness. It cannot be undone. It is not something with which one experiments or on which one tries new things. Failure has such a bad reputation among humankind, that people may be discouraged from looking for the successful route for fear of looking foolish or stupid. What is stupidity if not giving up after your first attempt at success did not, er… succeed?
There are many paths over the mountain, and continuing along one of them will get you to the other side, but first you may need to turn here and there to get around obstacles or large boulders. Workplace drug testing is designed to guide you in information about your employees and their evaluations. After all, without drug testing, it would be a lot closer to a guessing game.
