How Setting Big Goals Can Help You Achieve Your Wildest Dreams

FULL STORY by Ruth Soukup: TIME…..

QUOTE~~~

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a goal junkie. I love setting goals. I love achieving goals. I love crossing things off my to-do list and feeling like I’m getting somewhere. And I am a total sucker for anything that feels like a clean slate to start all over again, whether that be a new year, a new season, a new month, a new week or even a new day.

Maybe I’m just overly optimistic, but I always just love the potential of what that fresh start could bring. Of course, I’ve also been guilty a time or two — or 100, maybe — of losing momentum on all those big ideas. Life gets in the way and I start to fizzle out. The reality of all those day-to-day responsibilities starts to weigh me down, and I don’t feel quite as enthusiastic. I lose focus. I’ll start working on one thing one day and another thing another day, and never really gain enough traction in any one area to feel like I’ve accomplished something.
