When you set big goals, even “failure” is success. Even if you don’t accomplish exactly what you intended, the goal will still have stretched you and pushed you to a measure of success.
-
- Say you set a goal of losing 20lbs. Even if you only lose 16lbs, you’ve still made great progress.
-
- Say you set a goal of increasing your income by 30%. Even if you only increase your income by 14%, you’ve still made progress.
“Shoot for the moon and you’ll land among the stars.” That’s a terribly cheesy and pithy old saying. But there’s actually some truth in it.
Failing at big goals will leave you much closer to success than having no goals.
