When I learned the word, goal, and what it meant as a child, I must have remembered its definition by its first two letters: Go. Today, whenever I think about setting a “goal,” I think about moving forward.

Now, lets focus on one specific goal. Set a goal that is achievable today. You want to focus on breaking a large goal (e.g., Be Happy or Run a Marathon) into smaller goals (e.g., Read favorite magazine for 10 minutes today or Buy running shoes today) that will keep you on track, and set you up for success rather than failure.
