No doubt, every article you’ve read about losing weight, achieving success in the workplace or finding happiness will tell you the same thing: write down your goals. Setting and writing down goals will make you more likely to accomplish them. Dr. Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California, recently performed a study and found that you become 42% more likely to achieve your goals simply by writing them down and reviewing them regularly. Wow.

By writing down your travel goals, you’re forced to focus and prioritize. With so many destinations fighting for your attention, the decision of where to travel next may become overwhelming. But by creating a travel quest, you’ll realize what is or isn’t a priority, so you know how to spend your time and money. You’ll also start to subconsciously look for ways to accomplish your quest.

You can take that one step further by sharing your quest with others. By stating your quest to another person, you’re immediately held accountable for it. You’ll also likely receive support from those who hear about your quest, which makes it easier to push through the more challenging times.

We’re going to go for broke and make a bold statement. Setting, working towards and accomplishing a quest leads to long-term happiness. This concept was the founding principle of “The Happiness of Pursuit” and we’ve found it to be true in our lives. But for skeptics, here’s further proof.

Dr. Timothy A Pychyl said in a Pyschology Today article, “To the extent that we’re making progress on our goals, we’re happier emotionally and more satisfied with our lives.” He goes on to explain that the process of setting goals and finding happiness is a cycle. As you make progress on your goals, you become happier, and more likely to set and achieve new goals. Once you’re in motion, you stay in motion. Or in other words, one travel quest may beget another.

So by establishing a plan to visit all 50 states before your 40^th birthday or to see all of the buildings designed by your favorite architect before starting a new job, you might actually find that you’re a happier person. And if long-term happiness isn’t enough to motivate creating a travel quest, we don’t know what is.
