Om Over Na Te Denken #8

November 21st, 2009

Doing the unrealistic is easier than doing the realistic.
It’s lonely at the top. 99% of the world is convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for mediocre.
Therefore, competition is fiercest for “realistic” goals. Easier to raise $10M than $1M. Easier to pick up the one “perfect 10″ in a bar, than the 5 “8″s.
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance needed to the end. Realistic goals are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first couple hurdles, then you give up.
