The Process and Goals
The fulfillment of life is a process. The basis of our growth revolves around goals and dreams in this process. One reaches a goal. Then, one sets another. The experiences along the way make us who we are. This is the real magic.
Define Your Goals
As a friend of mine pointed out, "Magic is so results-oriented." All the spells and books emphasize the goal. "Get this", "do this", and "achieve this" are all very action-oriented ideas. Wishes about one's successes, lovers, finances, health, luck, and self-growth are a constant part of life. Even Candle Magick is goal-oriented. The difference is that the goal is present, but not the ruling aspect of the magic. We need a goal to feel organized about our thoughts. The secret, however, is to ask for what you want spiritually, and then be open to the journey to get to your goal. We often have no idea what the results will be. It takes a great amount of faith and strength to trust that you will be given what is best for you.
The first step to success is defining and clarifying your goals. Make lists or use whatever it takes for your clarity. Through that focus, explore how to reach the goal and assess what steps are involved. Defining your psychological goals has a practical side. You will know, what you have to do in the real world to get something achieved. In order for Candle Magick to work, you must put forth effort too. For example you cannot stop looking for work, because you are sure you are going to win the lottery. You must make those phone calls and do what you can on the earthly plane to realize your dream. Develop your skills so, when the opportunity comes, you will be ready.
After you define your desire and burn a candle, you must assess the results and progress to the next level with your goal. You, thereby, can gain a deeper level of psychological health and regain control of your life. It even offers alternative paths if your results are different from what you envisioned.

Set Reasonable Goals
Research has shown, repeatedly, that those who are depressed tend to set unreasonable goals for themselves. One technique to remedy the depression is to help the person learn to set reachable goals. Assures that he or she receives accomplishes goals along the way and thus, builds confidence, a sense of achievement, and enjoyment of the process.
