But then what is the point of having a goal if there is not success/failure benchmark to measure against. How do you continue to challenge yourself if you can not measure your progress?
And if in fact you do fail at first to meet your goal, does it not make your more determined on accomplishing that predetermined goal and then leave you felling all the more fulfilled in conquering the task which was a legitamate challenge?
