Para is used to express the purpose or goal of an action. Here, it shows that motivation is important in order to or for achieving one’s goals.
Why do we say mis metas and not just metas?

“How does verb conjugation work in Spanish?”
Spanish verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns depending on whether they end in ‑ar, ‑er, or ‑ir. For example, "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablo" (I speak), "hablas" (you speak), and "habla" (he/she speaks) in the present tense.
