If Your Goal Does Not Scare You It Is Not Big Enough

Hi Gary, I believe we have to get out of our "Comfort Zones" to think and to dream Big. We should always be setting Newer and Higher Goals.

Good afternoon Gary...

I think Mr. Jerry Newman has summed up the perfect comment to your great post. 

That's the thing, stay out of your comfort zone and you have a better chance at getting more.

I never thought of it that way, but I love that phrase -- If your goal does not scare you, it is not big enough. Love it!

Gary, hmmmm, I do believe I need to set bigger goals if they are to scare me..  This is definitely something to think about.

Your goal should be right on the edge of being to hard.  Juat hard enough for you to have to stretch to make it.

Woltal - I could use a scare, myself.

Gary, the picture says it all to me! We can take adversity and be stymied by it, or move through it to "go for the gold", much like what Michael Phelps did to be the most decorated Olympian ever. He could have been stopped by 4th place, but he didn't let it stop him from reaching for the pinnacle.

I need a good scare.  I've seemed to hit the same sales level every year when I really need to step out of my comfort zone and take it to the next level.  Time to push and set more challenging goals

This is so true...along with change, "scary goals" really do push oneself to be a better person.....

 but why think the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon?? This is very good and so true. Goals are meant to push us. At least that's the way I look at them. If you set them too low, what have you really accomplished?

Good morning, Gary - I love this post. We only grow outside of our comfort zones, and your post was a great way for me to kickstart my lazy Friday morning! 

Gary, what a great way to put it, we all know what you are talking about in our gut. Thanks
