When you set a big goal, you’re really assigning yourself       1     small tasks. When people give up on these big goals, it’s often because they haven’t figured out what those small tasks are or planned for the time and work needed.

No one wants to talk you out of a big goal. You should definitely pursue what you are     2     about in life. However, you should be realistic about where you are today, where you want to go and what you can reasonably achieve in the time frame and with the resources you’ve got. If you don’t really have the time or knowledge required to get where you want to go, it    3     to set a more achievable goal.

Once you meet that first goal, you promise yourself to set another and another. The approach is more effective because it guarantees at least some progress towards your big,     4    goal. It doesn’t have to be an “all or nothing” situation.

Once you’ve set a goal, you need to make achieving that goal part of your daily life. A new “habit stack” is needed. A habit stack is a series of small actions you do relatively in the same order each day. Most of us have a habit stack when getting ready for bed that includes washing your face, brushing your teeth, and setting your alarm, for example. You never or rarely     5     a step because the habit is set and you go from one activity to the next without even thinking about it. So, if you want to run a 10K this year, you’ll need to run nearly every day to practice. You should set out your running clothes and confirm your route the night before.

This is just one example of doing small things daily to help you achieve a larger goal. Goals that are “right-sized” relative to the amount of time and work you’re willing and able to invest are much more satisfying because you’re more likely to achieve them. Achieving a goal is an extremely       6     experience, and one that will build confidence so that you can work up to something more remarkable over time. As you set goals this year, overcome the “all or nothing” mindset and enjoy more success in the long term.

You probably don’t remember much of what you did when you were four. You were probably in preschool. You probably weren’t aware of greater world problems such as greenhouse gases, poverty etc. And I’m sure you definitely weren’t thinking of ways to solve these pressing world issues, because it’s just not what    1     four-year-olds do, right?

Well, this isn’t the case for Joshua Williams. When he was only four years old and he was walking on the street with his mother, he saw a homeless man. The man had a sign that said “need food”. That moment was eye-opening for him and so he was       2     to do something about it.

Joshua and his family started helping out some poor families by giving them food. He founded the “Joshua’s Heart Foundation” in 2005 with the help of his family and a couple of close friends.

Joshua’s Heart Foundation has two main goals: to “stomp out world hunger” and “break the cycle of poverty”. They do this through many different programs such as the Food Recovery and Distribution Program which provides boxes of food to hundreds of families on a low       3     every month.

Joshua’s Heart Foundation also educates communities and raises awareness of hunger and hunger-related issues. People who are aware that hunger is a serious issue are more likely to     4     to stomping it out.

Joshua’s incredible work has been     5     and led to him receiving many high-profile awards. In 2012, he became the youngest recipient (接受者) ever of the White House Champions of Change Award.
