For a long time I wanted to lose weight, but when I worded my goal that way, I never accomplished it. However, when I set a goal to get myself from 200 pounds to 155 pounds, I was far more successful. I also find it helpful to set smaller measurable goals that accumulate to the the large goal. My first goal was to get my weight to 180, then 170, then 165, 160, etc.
Ah, ok. I can see what you mean by making it more of a clear, measurable thing as a goal to have. So he is saying that the wording of the goals themselves is what makes the difference between an awesome goal and a crappy goal...not the goals themselves? Is this right?
