Can I set a goal too high?

To set your goal high is very good. But don't just dreaming about the goal. You should divided into some steps of minor goal, it help you reach the higher goal. for example you want to be a singer like Britney Spears, it's OK. But you must set the steps, like learn a better singing. The second step you might want to learn how to dance like Britney. The next step you should make your own song and then record it. The last step is go to big city and find some record house and give you your demo tape. See, everything looks simple if we divided in smaller steps.

It is challenging and helpful to set a goal and work towards its actualization. With determination, perseverance and efforts, almost all goals are attainable. Goals are like any plans or budgets; they guide and propel one's actions towards the set destination. However, goal setting should be realistic. It should be done within the context of one's mental, physical and material resources. Any goal setting that does not satisfy these prerequisites is capable of turning into a frustrating over-ambition, in which case the goal is said to be too high. A crippled man who sets out to become the best footballer in the normal category is merely day-dreaming. Similarly, a dullard who aspires to become a Nobel prize winner, not in dull reasoning, is setting his goal too high. In summary, virtually all goals are attainable if all the prerequisites, plus luck, are present, but because this requirement is not always met in adequate measure, not all goals are attained.
