The Connection Between Identity and Goal Achievement

Identity significantly influences goal achievement, as individuals will only exert effort consistent with their self-perception. When there is a disparity between one's identity and the goals they set, the effort put forth will be limited, leading to results that reaffirm existing beliefs about their worth. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, where the lack of progress further entrenches the limiting identity.
