Whatever temporary goals you may set, with bodhichitta they'll come through effortlessly. And, your ultimate goal of bringing all sentient beings to enlightenment will also come along through the force of bodhichitta. Once you've developed engaged bodhichitta, you continually accumulate vast merits and purify negativities whether you're sleeping, walking, eating, meditating, or doing other activities. And, you should understand that if you put the right effort into the correct meditation methods for generating this, there's absolutely no reason why you should not succeed in realising bodhichitta in your own mind!
