How To Set Goals That You Can Easily Win

How much of your life do you spend beating yourself up for not being good enough in every area of your life?

For me, it was WAY too many years.

Eventually I learned that we are not supposed to be perfect in every area and that simply by expecting myself to better than I am was setting me up for failure every single time.

It is only when you accept where you are at that you can begin the work to grow past that place.

Think of it this way...

Imagine ground level is reality, this is your limits, this is all of your truth.

When you try to be better than you are you, it is like you are floating above your reality in a hot air balloon.

It is likely that your grand ambition that keeps your balloon in the air will eventually be popped by the facts that your reality was too limited for your ambition.

When you fall you potentially will not only hit the solid ground and land in your own reality. No...

When you fall, you fall hard and deep into the pool of self-judgement where you then will have to swim against the current just to get back to your reality at ground level.

The feeling of failure or burn-out does not have to be so large a fall.

That journey back to reality is unnecessary.

Start from reality. Know and appreciate your limits and keep your goals closer to the surface and not 30,000 feet in the air. This way, whether or not they work out, you will not drop so far that you have to climb back up to just get to zero...

Be imperfect and proud of it!

Always be growing and stretching your limits.

Grow in realistic small steps so you remain firmly grounded in your reality and don't have to experience the rollercoaster effect of dreaming too big then failing too hard. Dreaming too high then falling too low and needing to recover just to start the whole unhealthy pattern again.

Dream too big. Do it often! However, understand that it is a dream and not your next step towards that dream. Know that it is not the goal for your very first movement in that direction.

Be proud to know your realistic limits because they mean that you know where you are starting and where that first step on solid ground should be.
