When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality. If people are not laughing at your goals, your goals are too small. If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it. If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable. Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most. A little impatience will spoil great plans. If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success. Who chases two rabbits catches neither. The bigger the 'why' the easier the 'how'.
