Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2956657, member: 88730"] You have to put a lot of work in, and have the ability to overcome obstacles, whatever they might be - emotional, psychological, physical to achieve your goals. What you're asking though is an important question. Most people don't have a model of how to achieve their goals. Meaning they don't have a framework for understanding why they don't reach their goal, and how to overcome the obstacles they will inevitably come across. It's actually quite profound and important to understand why you fail. Most people just hit an obstacle while trying to achieve their goal, and then the goal becomes difficult, and they give up and inevitably fail. The funny/sad thing here is that everyone can reach their goals. It's a comic tragedy in a lot of ways. Most people accept that they are less than what they can be, and it's the fall of man's potential every time it happens. Not to get too deep... but it is. :) [/QUOTE]
