Making it big is everyone's desire. No one wants anything small, except where necessary. Even our goals without caution are so big and sometimes even unrealistic. But, i guess it's how we are configured. If horses were wishes, they say, beggars will ride on them. Everyone can wish, and everyone can act, but not everyone will act without being compelled to. Task yourself: write out short term goals either on a weekly or daily basis, put it on your sticky note and anywhere it won't be out of sight, check it often. That's tasking yourself. You can let someone know you have some goals to achieve by the week's end. It helps! In your head or mind, your goal is a mere wish, and it will look complex; putting it down in writing simplifies the whole thing, giving it a view of reality, making it look like a task. If you don't task yourself, you might not get it done.
