Have you found that you not meet your goals for one reason or another. I know I have. There may be many reasons why you have missed or are going to miss your goals.
In my case I was away from WA for about nine months or maybe a little more even. During that time I never even opened WA to look at anything and of course my websites were abandoned. After looking at a few other projects during this time and spending money unnecessarily I realized that my best bet would be with WA.
During my time away I WA goals were not being looked at or acted on so of course I had to add at least nine months to my medium and long-term goals. When I looked I found that I still would find it impossible to make those goals. My mind was whirling and thinking of what to do next.

There was really only one thing I could do after a total reappraisal of the situation I decided to bin my original goals completely and to make new achievable goals. This doesn't mean that the goals I've set are by anyway easy to make, the new goals still make me push myself to make them achievable.
Although, when we initially set goals we should have in mind of how we are going to complete them we use our short-term goals to reach this objective. My short-term goals were always far too ambitious for me to realistically make them and so after much soul-searching and starting to realise I don't work as fast as I used to I have made a total reappraisal of my future and of course with it my goals.
If you really find your goals are totally out of reach there is no problem in resetting them. You just have to admit yourself that you were overambitious when you initially set them. Sometimes we just don't allow enough time to complete the actions that were gonna have to complete to reach our goals.
Life sometimes throws us a curved ball and we have to react accordingly. Our original goals were set proactively but life has decided to get in the way and stop us from reaching those goals. There is no shame attached to resetting goals unless of course it is because you have just been lazy or spent hours procrastinating.
