I have a theory that if you work that hard to never reach your goal, maybe you don't actually want the goal in the first place.

I mean, not that you should try once, find an excuse, decide you don't want it, and stop. (Though giving up that easily would corroborate my point, I think.) But if you find yourself constantly stopped by 'excuses,' I'd reassess whether what you're going after is something you really want.
