Finding Your Way To The Goal

A common trait found amongst successfull people as that they set goals for themselves and then go on to acheive them. Sometimes, we get sidetracked on our way to our goal or we never start towards our goal because the end result seems too overwhelming to acheive.
In the move "The Secret", author Jack Canfield said something to the effect that it's possible to drive from California to New York at night even though the headlights only illuminate the road ahead 200 ft at a time. If you start out in California at night you certainly can't see New York at the end of the road, but a little at a time, the headlights illuminate the path and signs appear along the way to help guide you towards the goal of getting to New York.
If we apply this thinking to goals that we set for ourselves, it doesn't have to be a huge obstacle that you can not see every step that is necessary to get from start to finish. The tragedy of goal setting or dreaming up a goal is that no action is ever taken in the first place becuase it seemed impossible.
If you ever dreamed of becoming a millionaire and then suddenly thought "no way, that's way too much work", dream again. If you are starting out with a small amount of money - say $5,000. The road 200 ft. ahead might be how do I turn $5,000 in to $10,000? After you go 200 ft. ahead and are at the point you could barely see before, the road 200 ft ahead might be how do I turn $10,000 in to $20,000. Perhaps along the way some signs will appear to help give some directions.
