It sounds like a silly question I know, but think about it… how would you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time!
I speak with far too many people who don’t have goals or plans that they are working to. Most people never bother for the simple reason that it scares them. Once they commit themselves to a target or goal then it all falls back on them whether they succeed or fail. For some people that’s too much to handle so they dodge the whole issue and wander aimlessly through life.
But then there’s the whole other side of the story. The folks that aim so damn high that they are doomed to failure from the start. Setting the “impossible goal” is like trying to stuff the whole elephant in your mouth at once. You are going to choke!
Goals should stretch you and make you work but they should be small enough to be achievable. The sense of “success” that you feel from ticking a number of small items off your list can be just the motivation you need to get you through some of the bigger items.
