Some of you have the same goals from ten years ago
Some of us have had the same goals year after year because we continue not taking our goals seriously.
Some of you have been working to pay off your debt for the past ten years.
Some of you have been trying to lose the same twenty pounds for the past five years.
Some of you have been saying you’ll get a new job or start your own business for far too long to count.
There are two reasons why people continue to set the same goals:
You are not evolving.
You are addicted to mediocrity.

You will only stop setting the same goals if you become comfortable with discomfort.
Breaking addiction, habits, patterns, and behaviors isn’t easy! It never will be.
But the long-term results and rewards from changing our behaviors will provide you astronomical benefits and fulfillment throughout your life.
Each year, your goals should be more challenging than the previous year.
Stretch yourself.
Grow.
Reach new heights that you haven’t reached before.
Every year your goals should evolve just as you should be continually evolving.
