We often set lofty goals for the future without seriously and honestly assessing why we've probably struggled in the past. It's very easy to fail if the only person you're going to disappoint is yourself. Sometimes our goal doesn't allow for small wins so we give up because we don't see any progress. Maybe it is a lack of planning or the stakes are just too low, sometimes it's just about self-doubt and not believing that we're able to do them.
