No ones goals are stagnant, because no progress is stagnant. As humans, everything we do has the tendency to naturally advance. Even when it seems like things aren't going right, they are in fact going perfect to course. For example, you've heard of nothing being a loss but everything being a lesson right? Well when taken from that perspective, there can be no wrongdoing. Except for the small chance of circumstances where things go way off course, but even those have lessons in there nature.
You may not be prepared for the next stage of your life that you desperately work toward but theres not doubt that you are on the way there. As long as you keep your stride, you will eventually get to where you want to be. Don't let other influences rush your progress or make you feel like you aren't making progress. If you have to spend a day a little longer in bed, it can be your body is telling you that you need more rest. Did you know that there's a limit on how long truck drivers can be on the road for? Any longer and it brings the risk of a driver falling asleep behind the wheel. There are times where you can push through the pain or tiredness but take the time to recharge and you can always guarantee that the time spent doing it will be well worth it.
Realizing the Power of the Subconscious Mind
A major step in elevating your life is to understand the benefit of using the subconscious mind to your advantage. The conscious mind, the mind that controls your every day thinking, is the driver of your subconscious mind. Whatever your dominating thoughts are come from your subconscious mind into your conscious mind therefore producing a life reflecting those thoughts.

Think of the subconsious mind as the farm and the conscious mind as the farmer. Whatever seeds the farmer plants into the earth is the plant he expects to see when it comes time to harvest. Just like seeds/plants, your mind needs time for growth. In between growing and harvesting, the garden will need water and sunlight. As does the mind you need water, food and sunlight as well as positive uplifting thoughts in order to reap the benefits of those thoughts.
No matter what the circumstances are in your external life, you have to keep your mind thinking in a positive direction. Making decisions out of fear, worry or stress won't make your life better. In order to manifest the life you desire, you must have control over your thoughts every single day.
Breaking the Normal Idea of Reality
Ideas that seem impossible to you or other people are only a short distance away from being attainable. The only thing blocking the path is a limiting mindset. The best way to do this is to pierce the current state of reality that you dwell in.
In order to eat the elephant, you have to take one bit at a time. If you have a habit that you don't care for, but can't seem to stop tending to that habit, overcome that habit for at least a day. When you start small first, you can chip away at the big things over time. You will realize it wasn't so bad not conforming to the habit, you will then realize your potential power. This is vital.
Once you obtain this new power, use it to your advantage as soon as you can. It won't last unless you force it to last. Keep it on your mind and in your notes at all times. Every one of your goals is within reach when you put more effort to grasp them.
The Stride
Your second wind will always be stronger than the first. When you have a chance to reattempt anything see it as a blessing. This is a sign from the universe, showing you your true power of manifestation. Use the energy of this belief to push you beyond the next stage of your journey. Your mind will push your body to do things you wouldn't normally take into consideration, it's a shame how late some of us can learn this.

When the ball is rolling make sure you consistently use the momentum to roll forever without you having to manually roll it and your biggest goals will always manifest in due time. Your "Why" for doing things must keep you going like a candle that never goes out. You don't want to settle for less so you won't do the less. Give out great things with genuine energy and they will come back to you ten fold. As you excel in your life you will see great things happening for you and for other people. This will help you keep your stride and strengthen the core of your "Why".
