If you do not get the chills when you set your goal you're not setting big enough goals. — Bob Proctor

If you do not get the chills when you set your goal you're not setting big enough goals.

Insight: There's something real in that physical sensation—the slight tremor or electricity you feel when you imagine doing something genuinely difficult. It's not poetic exaggeration. That feeling is your nervous system recognizing that you're about to step outside your comfort zone, and it's one of the few honest signals we have that we're aiming at something that actually matters. Most of us set goals that are basically just "do what I'm already doing, but slightly better." A raise, a cleaner apartment, running three times a week instead of two. These are fine, but they don't produce that chill because your brain already knows you're capable of them. When you set a goal that genuinely scares you—not recklessly, but in that "what if I actually tried?" way—that's when you know you've found something worth pursuing. The tricky part is that chills alone don't guarantee success. Plenty of people get excited about huge goals and then quit when the reality turns out to be grinding work. But that initial physical response? It's a useful compass pointing toward the things that would actually transform how you see yourself, not just tidy up the edges of the life you're already living.
