ReflectandRespond

Do you limit yourself when setting goals?

We often compromise and set goals that are within reach and don’t challenge our comfort zone.

The first time I read the quote,“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our AIM too high and falling short; “,  I only thought of it as for the artists. Over time, however, I have looked it from different point of view and it fits so well with the theme of Resilience  because it reminds us of how we need to Aim high.

In fact, I think every one who is Resilient or is aspiring for Resilience would do well to read this quote, understand it and start applying it to their daily lives.

We have some goals, But are not always clear on what we want as the Results.

Of course telling someone to apply this concept and actually doing it are two different things. And that’s why you’re about to learn how you can make this part of you life.

Let’s jump in…

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our AIM too high and falling short;
But in setting our AIM too low and achieving our mark”

– Michelangelo
