You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.
Meaning of the quote
Setting goals that are challenging and difficult to reach can be a great way to stay motivated and keep working towards something important. When you aim for something that seems out of your grasp right now, it gives you a reason to keep growing and improving yourself. It's like having a dream that is just beyond your current abilities - it encourages you to learn new skills, work hard, and push yourself to become better. Even if the goal seems impossible at first, the effort you put in to get closer to it can make you a stronger, more determined person.
