Realistic Goals
"Be realistic!"- words often given as an excuse to not follow a path
The R in the BREATHE acronym is Realistic Goals
It does not serve our purpose to be too realistic and also it does not serve our purpose to be too unrealistic. This is just my opinion. There is a fine line between those two types of goals.
In my world, when dreaming then dream BIG. But when applying then make sure that the dream can be realistically executed. Otherwise stress will show up at your door.
So what is the right mix?
I am back to the 80/20 rule. 20 percent of your dreams need to scare the hell out of you. They have to have a feeling that you can fail. And often you will.
The other 80 percent need to be realistic and achievable. When I say achievable that means that with a plan and persistence the achievement is certain. You only have to keep moving to get to the goal.
For the "unrealistic" you still need to create a plan as if it is realistic. BUT hopefully as you move towards the goal you will start seeing things that will help guide you. There is no guarantee except that you need to keep moving. Without movement and action the goal will stay unrealistic and you will fail.
As Dr. Sierpina advises, "Make these(realistic Goals) for the moment, the day, and celebrate their achievement."
Today's question is:
"Do you have Realistic Goals?"
