A big goal usually is something in the medium future or maybe in the far future.Sometimes the problem with big goals is that in the beginning, it inspires us, it gives us energy and we feel excited, but when things became tough and very difficult, as every tougher achievement behind have challenges. We give up to stay the phase.. because the goal actually hurt us & making feel bad & weak to go ahead for future move, it just feels too difficult and too far, even sometimes it leaves less motivation. In this way, sometimes a big goal or a big dream can actually stop us from moving forward. It can actually stop us from getting the success that we want. When all those things are happening need to apply tiny goals to move forward again.when we chose tiny goals due to such goals have a different kind of strength, where power comes from the fact as it focus us in this moment right now on something and help us to move for making small or little improvements.

A little goal is for now or in the very short future. Maybe our large goal to become a fluent speaker where need one or two years from right now, but a little by little goal is for tomorrow or next week. It’s much closer in the future, maybe just one week from now or maybe a month from now, when we think just this small movement   we are going to accomplish this small tiny little thing which move us forward one step closer. That’s the power of a little dream or when our motivation is low.. when we’re feeling tired, we need tiny retirement from hard work…as far I knew our friend smile was feeling bore after long time stay on learning pace.. We EC friend suggest him to take rest for tiny period for his mind refreshment, sure this little break will ignite positive energy to approach any difficulty. 

As example, we want to speak like a foreigner. This big dream that we want to speak excellent and amazing English, firstly need to focus of imagination it, like “ imagine speaking English very powerfully & speaking in Eng a strong voice with correctly and easy to understand. When we focus on something very small right now... then settle what’s the next step to move one step closer to that big goal.. Not more or huge steps at a time but just what’s the next tiny little thing. then automatically we have got motivation for next step, each time we achieve a little move, a tiny goal.

Or…suppose first time, we wanted to read a book for one day, it seemed very tough and difficult. But when we plan to read 1 page per day it will leave an approach or interest to read next one page, each day read our normal amount then increases the quantity.The first week read one book then two or increase more,like this way we can finish full book by one day and then we can move another one basically using the same approach… just focused on the tiny step not marathon.
