Recast your current problems into proactive goals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Goals help you overcome short-term problems.
The only way to improve is to set yourself harder goals.
It's important to set your own goals and work hard to achieve them.
Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.
Goal-setting and achieving those goals - that's just what I do.
You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.
I've reached most my goals and when my career is over I will have many other things to do.
Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
As for goals, I don't set myself those anymore. I'm not one of these 'I must have achieved this and that by next year' kind of writers. I take things as they come and find that patience and persistence tend to win out in the end.
Goals must never be from your ego, but problems that cry for a solution.
