I am not so sure about this. My personal experience: when I set my aim too high and never reach it, I get depressed and sad. However, when I set a goal that I can reach within predictable time and with reasonable effort, this motivates me. The secret is to keep setting a new aim, once you have reached the first.Then keep going, step by step … A German Benedictine monk in a famous cloister, where I went for a group retreat, explained to us: “Begrenztes Tun in kleinen Schritten ist das Geheimnis für den Erfolg”. (Limited doing with little steps is the secret of success). This has worked out very well for me.

Well, you can fix the goal but direct your attention on how to achieve and not on the goal itself. Means are more important than goal.
