In life, you transcend many of your goals. In setting objectives, it is better to set them higher than you think you can achieve. I am not saying you promise to bring your children to Pluto but if you are planning to bring them an island, find a way to bring them there on a comfortable yacht. What motivates us to action is by seeing that end-goals in our minds. Knowing that they could not be achieved if we will not do something more than usual,k, we become motivated to walk the extra mile, carry the extra load or get an extra job..Setting goals too low could result to passivity and even boredom. Setting impossible goals can bring a halt to action. Making bold promises that are doable pushes us to the limits.
We usually transcend our goals, achieving more than what we aim for.
