Half the battle of accomplishing a goal is believing you can.  That’s why making objectives achievable is an important part of SMART goals.  Impossible goals invite doubt and fear, which often causes people to fail.

On the other hand, an achievable goal encourages commitment to the goal.  Being committed to the goal drives success.

 

What’s the meaning of motivation?

“Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” – Will Rogers

The purpose of motivation is to get you moving to accomplish something.  It’s what drives you toward a goal, what keeps you going when things get tough.  It’s the reason you go to work early or stay late to finish a project.
