Going for big goals in life can seem like you need to shoot for the stars to get what you want. It’s easier than that.

The big stuff in life can seem overwhelming. But it’s only a series of small accomplishments that add up to success.

I like to think of reach goals as pole vaulting – a sport where winning doesn’t require you to soar to new heights. As you run toward your dreams, keeping your eye on the prize, you only have to clear the bar to succeed.

Clear the bar by a little every day, and you’ll be thrilled by how high you will fly.
