Why are unrealistic goals easier than the realist ones?

Having an unusually large goal is like an adrenaline rush that provides you with the endurance to overcome all the trails that come along with any goal. I have life experiences to support this. For instance, when I tried to train for a mini-triathlon, I would find myself literally dragging my feet to the gym, with no energy at all. I would miss training sessions, especially the ones that were early in the morning, because of my exhaustion. When I tried to say up a small amount of money, the same exact thing happened. What it boiled down do was that I just didn’t have the discipline to go ahead and just do it, to make it happen. This is why I find that setting unimaginable goals are the ones that usually work out, because they are worth striving for, instead of just saying “I can do it tomorrow”. Plan something out of the ordinary, a road trip, compete in a marathon, and enter a contest. These goals will be exciting, and gratifying.
