The challenging goals challenge our current abilities and to achieve these goals requires more creativity and effort than other goals. The challenging goal has two great advantages for individual and organizations.
The first advantage, the challenging goal creates our motivation and the second advantage that unlocks our potential.
Motivationr
When you set challenging goals it brings out the enthusiasm from your within. Edwin Locke that put forward the Goal-setting theory of motivation, said: Goals should be realistic and challenging. This gives a feeling of pride and triumph when he or she attains his or her goals, and it sets him or her up for attainment of next goal. The more challenging the goal, the greater is the reward generally and the more is the passion for achieving it.
Different studies show that two types of goals don't create enthusiasm and motivation in us. First category is the simple goals that access to them is easy. These goals create reluctance and crazy. The second category is the difficult goals that access to them is very difficult , this group is cause of hopelessness. Both categories have a common feature that is not associated with hopeful state. Because hope and fear are inseparable. The easy goal hasn't fear and the difficult goal hasn't hope. Rumi believe although fear and hope are opposite in appearance, but both have a duty that is to create motivation. He said “fear and hope like board in sea will be used by sailor for reaching to his lover.”
Actualizing potentialsr
The challenging goals push you beyond the thresholds of mediocrity. A challenging goal helps you to develop your talents and ability and you become a new person in the process. This is a form of personal development. The most important your need is actualizing potential. And a challenging goal setting is the best response to this need. The truth is that you are a potential genius and these challenges unlock your inner genius. Many challenges and obstacles remain on the way of your goal, when you overcome any obstacle, a part of your talent will reveal. A
old Toynbee, British historian who examined the rise and fall of 26 civilizations in the course of human history, and he concluded that they rose by responding successfully to challenges under the leadership of creative minorities composed of elite leaders. Civilizations declined when their leaders stopped responding creatively. Challenging goals are not only the main factor for creating civilizations, but also are the key factor to unlocking your full potential.

If you live with an alcoholic you will almost certainly feel shame. Some people will experience it to a very high level others less so but almost everyone who lives with an alcoholic experiences it to some degree. You will probably feel anxious that people will discover your secret, that they will judge you and, inevitably, will find you unacceptable to be around decent people. Seeing it written down like that it probably seems stupid. How could anyone feel that.

Myth #1: Drug addiction is voluntary behavior. A person starts out as an occasional drug user, and that is a voluntary decision. But as times passes, something happens, and that person goes from being a voluntary drug user to being a compulsive drug user. Why? Because over time, continued use of addictive drugs changes your brain -- at times in dramatic, toxic ways, at others in more subtle ways, but virtually always in ways that result in compulsive and even uncontrollable drug use. Myth #2: More than anything else, drug addiction is a character flaw.
