Break your goals into smaller ones

smart-crm-8-steps-720x654Dreaming big is usually done after getting a moment of inspiration from a hard-to-believe type of story that you hear, but this type of inspiration is lost after a few hours, or after a few days in the best case.

I was trying to be patient and focus on other things around me just to fade the attention to the pain that I was having, but I suddenly came to realize that a few negative thoughts were popping in my head.

Their lack of focus to my pain was suggesting me that they have some disordered priorities: TV is more important to them than me. Continue reading
