ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Goal-oriented

Okay kiddo, let's talk about being goal-oriented! It means that you have a specific thing that you want to achieve or work towards. Just like when you want to build a big Lego tower, you have a goal in mind and you work towards it by putting one brick on top of another until your tower is complete!

When you're goal-oriented, you have a plan and you take steps towards that plan. You don't just hope that things will work out, you make it happen by following your plan. Just like when we go to grandma's house, we know which way to go and what landmarks to look out for so that we can get there successfully.

Being goal-oriented can help you accomplish things you never thought you could! Just like when you first learned how to read, you set a goal to read a whole book by yourself and you worked hard towards achieving that goal. You did it and it felt amazing!

Remember, setting goals is important, but it's also important to enjoy the journey along the way. So, let's set some goals and make some plans, but let's also have fun and enjoy the process of achieving them!
