You acknowledge this indirectly, though.

“If I’d aimed to travel before I set up my business I would only have been able to take short trips during vacation time or time spent desperately searching for new temporary work.”

In this sentence it is clear that certain things needed to happen, before your ideal occurred. Well for many, if not most people a WHOLE mess of things have to fall in line before they can even begin to THINK about all this “ideal life” stuff.

There is nothing wrong with having a goal, or even a dream. And of course all things must be worked for. But working hard and having a goal just doesn't lead to success every time, or even half the time. It simply isn't true that staying focused and goal oriented helps everyone overcome the blockades to their ideal life. Some people simply cannot get a head no matter what they do, through no direct fault of their own.

Because realistic really just means having super-low expectations !
Yikes.

Grrreat article Everett – I also believe that focus is essential – pure concentration on the most important things and getting rid of all the useless things ( which really is almost everything ! )

Start a blog and write about how you’re achieving your goals in order to get feedback and possibly income to support your goals.

In my experience you need to be careful with this one. It can kill your momentum.

Plan on running a marathon? Tell everyone – you're more likely to stay on track having made it a big deal. (is it the Texan's who say 'All hat and not cattle'?)

Plan on being a full time stock trader? or dream of being an archaeologist in Egypt ? choose wisely who you tell this one too – often telling people your amazing goal will highlight the insecurities in their own lives. That's their problem. Better option is to associate with those that are embarking on the same journey or those that have achieved what you want. You'll be encourage not hindered.

Interesting post Everett.
