It depends on your success at setting goals first. If you've had nothing but failures with setting goals, lofty ones will be impossible to achieve. If you've had much success though, you should continue to push yourself further and further with lofty goals so it depends more on your record and more importantly, that you are making progress towards achieving your goals. Thanks for the article, I like how to classify the different goal types. I think they can still do with having a fixed date on them to know when its achieved however.

For example, when Nelson Mandela sat for 25 years in Robin Island was the goal "lead my people to a free South Africa" realistic? No, but yet this is what he achieved. Make your goals "incredible" and "fantastic", re-affirm it each day and never worry about "how". Goals should also be lofty.
