In order to fulfill my goal of writing every day, I’ve set up some short-term goals as well. This first one is to get 100 views in a day. Getting this many views will be a good indication that people actually like what I’m writing, and the encouragement will hopefully spur me on to keep going with this blogging thing.

You want to achieve things in life but if you set unrealistic goals, your brain won’t believe it can happen and you will give up quicker than someone who has set realistic goals. Small victories are key to achieving big victories.

This works in almost every aspect of life because when you take something step by step and it becomes easier than your brain thinks it’s possible to achieve a goal, then it makes future goals more attainable as…
