You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don't look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone.
I've always had very high aims for my life and for my career, for anything that I do.
Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good - that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high.
I never lost sight of my goals. I never stopped thinking I could reach the top.
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
I don't even like walking up a ladder; I'm petrified of heights.
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.
I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
Aim high and don't sell yourself short. Know that you're capable. Understand that a lot of people battle with a lot of things - depression, body image or whatever else - so know that it's not just you. You're not alone.
