I was searching for a blog of Les Brown and I landed to your blog. Thanks a lot. I believe that to dream big, we need to associate with people who dream big. Your blogs would be a good companion for my journey towards my goal. Keep it up! Hi Steve,

One question I ask to determine whether a goal is right or wrong for me is, "What would happen if I were to succeed? What then?" This sheds light on what lies beyond the goal, which makes it easier to see if the goal is off course from my purpose or perhaps just feels more empty/pointless than I expected. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to achieving big goals is just getting yourself to believe you can do it. If deep down you don't really expect to succeed, then it's not the goal that you need to work on but rather your own self-esteem... not that it's bad per se, but just that it may need to stretch to encompass a higher vision of yourself.

Do I have the wrong goal if I've been trying to do something and failing for 24 years, or is it just an idle dream?
