I always have aggressive goals.
When I meet them,
I’m flying.
When I fall short,
I still achieve.
A buddy of mine
is super conservative with her goals.
She always achieves them
BUT she seldom achieves more.
She’s lazy
(like all of us are)
and when she achieves her goals,
she stops working.
That’s one reason why
simply not failing
is a dangerous goal to have.
At best, we don’t fail and that’s it.
Another reason is that
we don’t hear negatives.
Tell yourself “Don’t fail”
and your mind hears “Fail.”
NOT a good message
to tell yourself.
Art Petty has a great article
on other reasons.
Aim for success.
