Goal management - Achieving Goals

Achieving complex and difficult goals will require your focussed, long-term diligence and effort. Success in any field will require that you forego blaiming, excuses and justifications for poor performance or lack of adequate planning. It will require your emotional maturity.

Goal management - Emotional Control

Long term achievements are based on short-term achievements. Emotional control over the small moments of the single day makes a big difference in the long term. See also: Cognitive Science

Goal management - Counterexamples

Arnold Schwarzenegger: A young man from the countryside of a small european country. These countries tend to have the same AVERAGE income per capita as America (the United States of America).

Madonna: An attractive woman with a deceased sister and poor family. Marked by her experiences, she leaves her home and resides in New York at nineteen. At that time, New York was one of the world's top cities. Mass Media including entertainment was spreading throughout the world then. She rode that "wave."

Goal management - Conclusion

By accepting a degree of realism within ones own goals one allows oneself to not change reality to match his own dreams by his own efforts alone, but to accept it how it is until a certain degree. This degree of "lazyness" can prevent from falling in unhappiness by losing too much control of life by trying to specialize in a very small area and to become a top leader in that field.

Also: No mather what level of society you belong to. It is very likely that there are levels above and below you.

Consider That: Even the admired higher level has constraints and limitations to their possibilities. The persons that are meaningful to them because of happenings in real situations in life might have similar possibilities then they do. Therefore they have no comporative advantage within their own level, but just towards the level below them. They might not even feel that they are making more of a progress for themselves than you feel that you are making for yourself.
