“Results is the Name of the Game.” – Jim Rohn
When it comes to being motivated and staying focused on your goals, it is the results that you achieve that count not the intention of getting there.
It is unclear of the origin of this quote but it goes like this, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
When it comes to achieving our goals the only thing that matters is the achievement of that goal, everything else is only commentary.
But here is a key that is vitally important here, the only person who needs to change their thinking and actions when it comes to achieving your goal is… YOU! The rest of the world can remain the same.
If your goal requires others to change in order for you to achieve your goal, you should scrap it immediately and start working on goals that require you to grow, no one else.
I wrote this post the other day, I hope you had a chance to read it http://www.lifetosuccess.com/2010/07/30/key-to-staying-motivated-not-relying-on-others-to-change-in-order-to-make-you-happy/
When your goal requires others to change, you are working against natural law and the results will be marginal at best.
In Wallace Wattles’ great book, The Science of Getting Rich, he explores this in great detail in the two chapters below:

http://the-science-of-getting-rich-blog.com/chapter-10-further-use-of-the-will/
Make sure to check out these two chapters from that great book.
When you start to work with yourself in this manner, you will be developing a great habit that will serve you for the rest of your life. If you have not already done so, make sure to check out, Lee Milteer’s Habit Busting System. It is a great program that can help with the habitual thinking and acting change that you seek in your life.
As Always, Here’s to Your LifetoSuccess,
