Achieving complex and difficult goals requires focus, long-term diligence and effort. Success in any field will require foregoing blaming, excuses and justifications for poor performance or lack of adequate planning or in short emotional maturity.

Long term achievements are based on short-term achievements. Emotional control over the small moments of the single day makes a big difference in the long term.

By accepting a degree of realism within one’s own goals, one allows oneself not to change reality to match his own dreams by his own efforts alone, but to accept it how it is until a certain degree. This degree of "laziness" can prevent one from falling in unhappiness by losing too much control of life by trying to specialize in a very small area and to become a top leader in that field. No matter what level of society one identify with, it is very likely that one will keep the above and below scheme. On the other side, to put up personal goals does not necessarily mean merely to put up goals for one’s own best. One does not need to put personal and non-personal in a binary opposition as in egoistic/altruistic, body/mind, cultural/natural etc. One may say that there are elements in the making and realising personal goals that necessarily are transpersonal. In the interzone of the personal and transpersonal, the personal but also culturally dependent judgements of tastes and values will be challenged, and probably changed. In such personal processes, that might be termed crisis, which often occurs in the processes of achieving personal goals, the hierarchised up and down, better or worse scheme can be altered.
