Don’t just focus on where you’ll finish, enjoy what you receive along the way.
Welcome to Thunder’s. :)
I agree with this 100%, its better for you mentally to have a big goal made of short targets.
When I first gained 0.2’ I was really happy that I had gained and that pe worked but if your having a bad day you could look at it with a negative attitude like “its taken this long xx to get this, that means it will take at least this long xx before I reach my goal”.
With short targets I always feel encouraged because your passing milestones 7’,7.5’,8 ect or getting close to them.
