After talking with a friend who competed at this year's Games, it was enlightening to see how positive she was despite the sacrifices she made to get there. She mentioned that there were certain aspects of her life that she came to accept would have to move down the priority list, but she knew that given her goal, they were things that she knew had to fall to the wayside. However, it wasn't like these things just happened, it was a mental and conscious understanding that in order to get where she wanted, she would have to come back to those other parts in her life at another time.

Goal setting is easy. We all have had experience since the days of "What do you want to be when you grow up?". What is difficult, and what causes us to lose these goals, is the lack of commitment. How much are you willing to pay to reach your goals?

Hopefully, these small tidbits can help you get a clearer view of reaching your goals and aspirations. Good luck!
