It’s okay to have big goals. In fact, dreaming big is far better than thinking small. It takes you out of your comfort zone and develops the confidence and self-esteem required to actually live your dreams.
However, big goals can often make you think it’s impossible. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will your dreams. Chunk your goal down into smaller, shorter-term goals. If your goal is to run a marathon and you’ve never even made it one lap around the track, well, that marathon may seem way out of reach. Make a smaller goal to run 10 laps around the track by a specific date. That’s more believable and achievable to your subconscious mind.
Once you’ve reached your first shorter-term goal, take another chunk out of the bigger goal. By breaking down your goal in this way you’ll gain momentum through continual success.
Any dream worth dreaming is worth working for.
