Is it normal to set such high standards you can't fulfill them?

I set unreasonabaly high expectations for myself that I can never acieve. And the only reason I do is because I am so lazy that I set such high expectations in hopes of no longer being lazy. Does anyone else do this?

    perhaps stop thinking of them as standards or goals and more as targets.

    if you're an archer you can shoot for the bullseye over and over and not get disappointed or down on yourself for not hitting center, but still be proud when you do make it.

    yeah it's a lot more common then you may think. However you are setting yourself up for failure. That's why you're supposed to set a series of small achievable goals.
