Life erupts.

Circumstances change.

Accidents happen.

What I want to do and what I do become a major disconnect.

<a href="http://www.jennycrusie.com/">Jennifer Crusie</a> says, “<em>Part of being a writer is defending your vision and not caving …</em> .”

Disconnecting between goals and actions is unavoidable even if you’re not a writer and <em>not caving</em> is too often easier to say than do.

Let me suggest two ways to connect your want and your action to prevent <em>caving</em>:
<ol>
	<li><strong>Stick to your goal even if it takes longer than you want to achieve.</strong></li>
	<li><strong>Never settle for less than what you are capable of.</strong></li>
</ol>
Does your goal sometimes seem out of reach?

Keep focusing, keep aiming!
