Small Sacrifices = Huge Rewards [Goal Setting]

101_goal_setting_breakthroughs_2008 To make time for your current top goals, you have to stop doing something you are already doing.

What are you willing to give up?

We all have to make sacrifices. Are you going to stop watching TV? Are you going to stop surfing the web mindlessly? Personally, when I first started my journey 22 years ago I gave up late night bar-hopping and parties. That’s not to say I don’t attend a party here and there – I do. But I don’t make it an every other night occurrence.

What are you going to stop doing in order to make time where you can start doing your goal?

I think if you can make this one change, picking long-term satisfaction and achievement over short-term gratification is the hardest one and the one most likely to put you ahead.

For me it was TV time. Had to go. Now I watch rarely and just to decompress. It was hard, it felt like I was curtailing my freedom. But after a few months, I am starting to see my sacrifices pay off, so now I know it was worth it.

Great articles on goal setting!
