I often get overwhelmed by the magnitude of my own goals; from the overwhelment, is when I often seek out distractions in which to feel some immediate pleasure relief. I find breaking it down to simplify the necessary steps that comprise my ultimate goal incredibly helpful in allowing me to stay focused and also to enjoy each step along the way. All too often we get caught up in just the end game that we lose sight of the greatness and pleasures of getting there. As far as 'tricks'-- your mind is also your greatest ally-- or foe. Acting as if you have already succeeded during the journey attracts those successes more easily to you! Great post! Corbett,

Agreed! I often get overwhelmed by the magnitude of my own goals; from the overwhelment, is when I often seek out distractions in which to feel some immediate pleasure relief. I find breaking it down to simplify the necessary steps that comprise my ultimate goal incredibly helpful in allowing me to stay focused and also to enjoy each step along the way. All too often we get caught up in just the end game that we lose sight of the greatness and pleasures of getting there.

As far as ‘tricks’– your mind is also your greatest ally– or foe. Acting as if you have already succeeded during the journey attracts those successes more easily to you!

Great post!
