CONSEQUENCES OF SETTING UNREALISTIC GOALS

When an individual sets unrealistic goals he gets disappointed if he fails to achieve it. An unrealistic goal makes an individual frustrated because it requires more skills, time and energy in order to achieve the goal.  

According to psychologists, when an individual sets an unrealistic action or goal then an individual has expectations from himself. When he fails to fulfill those expectations, then it results in disappointment. The unrealistic goals lead to negatives in our lives. Lack of motivation leads to a feeling of disinterest and laziness.
