This article is the second in a series on personal development.

In Part One I talked about the importance of creating good personal goals to enhance your personal development while raising your level of excellence.

Even if your employer does not require it, writing your annual personal goals is a valuable exercise and a key to personal success. Despite the importance attributed to setting goals, I've noticed many people struggle identifying good personal goals for themselves. Often I've sat across from individuals, many of them attorneys, with blank stares on their faces when I asked them to articulate their personal goals. How do you identify the right goals for yourself? I recommend starting from two key places: passion and self-awareness.
