When setting and achieving goals one important step is to make the goal important.
This is an easy step at the beginning, but once the initial rush fades, the importance tends to fade.
As part of your process to achieving a goal, add time and effort to continually create importance for the goal. Create inspirations, reasons for the goal, and how the outcomes are valuable. Take the time to feel the emotional connection to these reasons to have an emotional connection to the importance of the goal.
