Of course goals are important. As a grad student who was going to be involved with my dojo for only a few years before I move on, I set the goal of earning Shodan before I left. Had I not set this goal, and shared the goal with my Sensei, I might not have achieved it. There are many compitent aikidoka in the dojo who have studied longer than I who have not as yet earned Shodan. The main thing that is stopping them is that they have not set their mind to doing this.
