‘Setting goals too high and hoping to ‘get close’ is one of the most damaging things you can do to your performance.’- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

If you want to achieve success in your life, you need a powerful goal. It is important to have one or two. But setting your goals too high is not going to help you. Instead, it is going to demotivate you.

Goals are motivators, not demotivators. If your goals are not encouraging you, if your goals are not motivating you, then you need new goals. Maybe the ones you have right now are too high for you. If they are too high, you won’t be able to make them happen. And when they are too low, you won’t learn anything from them.

‘If you want to be successful, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, do not set your goals too high.’

The best thing to do is to set goals you can achieve, but not too low. And not too high. Because you need them.

Without a goal, you are not going to achieve success. You won’t even know what is going on in your life. You won’t even know where you are, what you are doing, and where you are going.

Remember, your goal is your guide. If you want to get to the next level in your life, you need a new goal. Do not be scared to start again.

If the goal you have right now is not working, then set a new one. Do not forget that life is about growth. If you do not have a goal, if you do not have something to fight for, then how are you going to grow?

You Can Cheer Yourself Up

Things happen. We cannot control everything,
But we can control ourselves. 
We can choose our friends. 
We can choose our lives. 

If you want to live a great life,
You must choose yourself.
You must be your own cheerleader.

Be your own cheerleader.
Do not wait for people to cheer you up.
Because you can cheer yourself up.
But that does not mean you shouldn't 
Hang out with great people.
No, that is not what I am saying.

We need good people in our lives.
To meet them, we must be good to ourselves.
We must love ourselves.
We must be comfortable with ourselves.
We must give up the person we now are.

No matter what you are going through, 
just remember that you cannot control everything.
The only thing you can control is your thought.

If you can control your thought, you can control your life.
You can bring happiness into your life.
You can brighten your life.
You can brighten your day.
You can motivate yourself.
You can inspire yourself. 
And you can challenge yourself to move forward in your life.
Will you cheer yourself up?
