Goals are measurable and clear, while expectations are more a matter of positioning yourself towards a certain context and becoming congruent with it. Having great expectations means you are prepared to receive much more from life. How are you going to receive it, that's the story of goals.

If you can't find the discipline and confidence to do it, you WILL set yourself for failure without the ability to drive it long enough. Small milestones are a way to see progress, recognize the benefits in it and keep motivated to push onward. Now, I think you can do that all while having that great expectation known at the outset. .-= Mike King´s last blog ..<a href="http://learnthis.ca/2009/12/the-problem-with-leadership/" rel="nofollow">The Problem with Leadership</a> =-.

I am definitely one for going for the big goals in life, however, have only recently learned to set my expectations much higher because of my previous smaller expectations being met. had I not had the smaller expectations met in the past I might not have had the confidence to then set higher expectations. So what you are saying is excellent stuff, go for it and go for it big, but it's great to have a few small successes to back up your great expectations. .-= Steven Aitchison´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChangeYourThoughts/~3/t8dxExLMomM/" rel="nofollow">7 Ways to Make Your Life More Meaningful</a> =-.
