Positive pleasure-oriented goals are much more powerful.
Make a list of your achievements toward your long-term.

Making a decision to do something – this is the first step. We all know that nothing moves until someone makes a decision. The first action is always in making the decision to proceed. This is a fundamental step, which most people overlook.
So, make the decision to move forward. Commit your decision to paper, just to bring it into focus. Then, go for it!
You are going on a cruise, but when the ship sets sail, you discover it has no rudder. What happens? One of 3 things will occur.
You will sail along until you collide with an immovable object, after which you will sink.
The sad thing is the majority of people have no clue about what they truly want.
They have no clarity. When asked the question, responses will be superficial at best, and at worst, will be what someone else wants for them.
Focus is having the unwavering attention to complete what you set out to do. There are a million distractions in every facet of our lives. Telephones and e-mail, clients and managers, spouses and kids, TV, newspapers and radio – the distractions are everywhere and endless. Everyone wants a piece of us and the result can be totally overwhelming.
So, how can we stay on course with all the distractions in our lives? Willpower is a good start, but it’s very difficult to stay on track simply through willpower.
