"Many goals are set up so that we're looking to do them now or shortly and they don't really, they're not really designed or created so that we have a longer term success over months or years. We pursue a long term goal whether it's being healthy, or whether it's being organized, whether it's being more productive and we create some strategies that will take us perhaps from today till tomorrow, till next week, or maybe even next month, but not something that's created over a long term that's going to give us meaning and satisfaction. So, let's take a look at what that requires to create a sustainable success. Short term isn't enough. So, let's make a five to ten year line. Even one to five years if five to ten is too intimidating for you. So, we're going to make goals big but not so big that they're so paralyzing. We need to make them big enough that they're motivational and inspirational but not so big that we get terrified and we don't take the first step. So, let's take a look at this board here. We're going to take a look at what we need to do today and next wek as well as this month but we're going to go further. We're going to take a look at this year, five years, and ten years. And, in the next segment we'll talk about how to break this down and make it workable because it looks so big, doesn't it? But, it's pretty easy to make it something that's more manageable."
