This example I think is valid for any goal that is far from your reality, whether in the study or finance career, the further away, the more time and dedication it would take, and that is why the discipline that will separate the people who will succeed those who have allowed themselves to fail along the way.Napoleon Hill, names this in his book "Outwithing the devil" as the Hypnotic Rhythm, The strength of your routine that is involved in a rhythm that takes you to a goal, if you don't have a goal you will also be a victim of the hypnotic rhythm, but ended up being taken wherever life decides, or as he says "Where the devil decides to take you".
