Setting outrageous goals

The problem with setting goals is that invariably we come to a point at which we have to decide whether the goal can be achieved. It's that moment of truth when we come to grips with how much we really want the outcome versus whether we think the goal is possible.

That moment can cause us to either reject the goal right then and there, or to scale it back to something more "sensible."

The problem with sensible goals is that they then lack the power of passion and energy to get us moving. Goals should be a motivating force to get us to do more than we are presently accomplishing. What's the solution?

According to goalsontrack.com, the solution is to set outrageous goals. Don't think in terms of reasonable or realistic. Think in terms of the impossible. In other words, shoot for the moon. 

Here's what happens: the very process of dreaming bigger causes you to see reality differently. You're already capable of more than when you even conceived the goal. Your mind is open to new suggestions. You see opportunities you never saw before.

So, for your next goal. Make it bigger.
