Failure, Change, and Linking Your Goals:
Expect Failure
If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.
That which is truly challenging (difficult) and inspirational (stimulating; exciting) is rarely easy. Don’t give up just because you don’t find success immediately, or because the path seems to be too difficult. If your dreams still feel right for you and still inspire you, your failure should be nothing more than a message that you need to re-evaluate (reassess; think about again) your action plan. Learn from your failures (mistakes), but don’t let them determine (decide) the direction of your life.
It is the struggle that makes you strong and beautiful!
You are allowed to Change
Setting goals does not set your life in stone.
Take time to reconsider (think about again) your goals and change them a little, or change them completely if you think it’s necessary. Your path through life may lead you into contact with better, more inspiring goals.
Be prepared to make change that leads to better things.
Link (connect) Your Goals
There should be a connection between what you do today, and your longest-term dreams and goals.
When the action you are taking right now is directly supporting your long-term goal, and is directing you ‘step by step’ toward it, then you are experiencing the power of goal setting as a motivator (something that stimulates your interest in something), focusing agent (thing that helps you to pay attention to what’s important; helps you to concentrate), and cure for procrastination (a remedy for when you delay or put off action necessary for something to be completed).
Remember this. If you have work to do that you know is important to your goals then:

Yes, I completely agree with you! In fact, I have two dreams at present, and I don’t know which one to choose. I think as I grow day by day, and I get know more about my interests, advantages, etc., I will be able to make better choices!
It is most important that we should make every effort to pursue our goal(s)! No matter how many goals you may have, hard work and planning are the only way!
Dear Nancy,
Well Said! Planning and Hard Work; there’s no escaping that logic!
All the Best with your Goal Setting Nancy.
