There's a lot of flaws with having reasonable goals. Morty Lefkoe, the president and co-founder of The Lefkoe Institute and the author of "Live An Unlimited Life" states that "reasonable goals are consistent with what is predictable, what's likely to happen, and are consistent with your existing beliefs." This means that your goals exist within your comfort zones and "inside the box." Realistic goals are definitely attainable but they will never be remarkable or ground breaking.

Let's think Apple again. If you truly want to be successful -- in any aspects of your life, you need to think outside of the box and create something that other's have not. Unreasonable goals forces you to be outside of your comfort zones, unlearn existing beliefs and create a breakthrough. Morty Lefkoe further comments that, "The biggest barrier most people have to happiness and success is not an inability to deal with the world as it really is. Their biggest barrier is a world filled with many self-imposed limitations."

Successful people don't operate in the same world as the rest of us and remember, small thinking has and always will be punished in one way or another. "Realistic thinking and goals" are based on what others think is possible and not based on your potential and purposes.

3. They Take Unreasonable Actions



The 10X rule by Grant Cardone is all about putting in 10 times the thoughts and 10 times the actions of other people to create personal success and market domination, regardless of the circumstances. The number one trait that sets apart the successful from the mediocre is action. Anyone can set goals, plan and even visualise their success, but not everyone is disciplined or courageous enough to take massive action to actually achieve their goals.



Successful people don't just set unreasonable goals but they also take unreasonable actions. They don't act in accordance with the agreed-upon realities and make the "impossible" into a "possible". Grant Cardone puts things into perspective by saying, "Would we have cars, airplanes, space travel, telephones, and the Internet - in addition to thousands of other things we take for granted - if someone hadn't done something that another person had labeled "unreasonable"?"



It's usually the unreasonable ones that make a difference in the world.



A good example of a figure that achieved outrageous success and changed the world through unreasonable actions is Steven Spielberg.
