Leo Tolstoy once said:
<blockquote>Have a goal in life. A goal for a certain time, for a year, for a month, for a week, for a day or for an hour and for a minute, sacrificing lower goals to highest.</blockquote>
&nbsp;

You must know that the people who aim at the sky are always taller than those who aim at the treetops.

So how to set your life goals more efficiently?

Imagine if the palace suddenly caught on fire, and you are only allowed to save one of the many treasures in the palace, which one would you choose.

One answer is thought to be the best-- which is choose the one closest to the exit.

This is an astounding answer because everything in the palace is a unique gem, so instead of wasting time choosing, it is better to hurry to save one piece.

Life is also the same.

If you've identified at least 3 goals, the best is often not the most tempting one, but the one closest to you.

Choose the life goals closer to you, and you will have a greater chance of success.

Successful people always focus on the things in front of them, because the nearer the goal, the easier it is to hit.

Someone made an experiment before. He arranged three groups of people to walk to a village that is 10 kilometers away. The first group knew nothing about the village, and he told them to follow the guide. The second group of people knew the name of the village but did not know the mileage.

The third group of people not only know the name of the village, distance, and every milestone on the road.

As a result, the first group of people who had just gone two or three kilometers were complaining, wanted to give up; and the second group’s mood went down at third or fourth kilometers, and the third group sang all the way and soon got to the destination.

In fact, it is easier to achieve the goal when it has a milestone.

Only by understanding our action to take to achieve the goal, sail through wind and waves to reach our destination.

When setting up our goals, the clearer the goal, the easier for you to achieve. For example, when two people are determined to lose weight at the same time, the first said: "I want to lose weight" and the second said: "I want to exercise an hour a day". Comparing their goals, the second one is easier to achieve goals. 

Another example, "Solve 50 questions a day" plan is far more feasible than "I want to score with flying colors".

Because the vague goal of uncertainty just like the road without milestones, you do not know how long to go in the distance, it is easy to make people form an illusion of a distant future and failed.

Therefore, to achieve your life goal, it is better to develop a smaller goal; If you want to develop a good habit, might as well develop smaller habits first. To achieve large goals, you may set a small goal, such as starting early tomorrow to eat breakfast, starting from practicing small goals, to achieve greater goals.

Just like water, water has the flexibility, when the water encounters the mountain, it does not push through it, but instead, it took a detour.

Life is like an endless river, on the road of chasing the dream, you will encounter obstacles, you have to learn to adapt, to breakthrough.

In the process of achieving the goal, you can change it appropriately, change your thinking, adjust your strategy, and change the way you cling to.

Perhaps, there will be unexpected surprises, unexpectedly accelerate the pace of your success.

Life is a game of chess, sometimes you are losing, but it may also be a comeback.

Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to make a corresponding change according to your goal.

It is the best that suits you.

When we build our target structure, we should fully consider our own strengths and personalities, and find our own life goals.
