Why Goals are SO Hard to Achieve


Why Goals are SO Hard to Achieve
by Jane Powell 

“Goals that you believe in are the ones that really count.”

Does the effort you put into achieving your goals feel more like a burden, than a welcome challenge?  This is a sign that your goals are not your own.
You may be trying to live up to the ideals of your spouse, friends or parents. You may even be trying to live up to society’s version of success and perfection.
Goals set for you by others may not be realistic. And, the more you strive for goals that are far from your heart, the greater your dissatisfaction and frustration may become.
For you to feel happy inside and out, you must pursue what is important to you.
Never think that what you want is not good enough. It is! As you set and achieve goals that really matter, you will feel more successful, positive and optimistic.

Never give way
to anger - otherwise in one
moment you could
burn up the joy that you
collected over a long period
 

Do you hesitate to take action because you're not sure if you'll be effective? Remember that achievement is built on efforts that work as well as efforts that don't work.
Some of your individual efforts may not bring the desired results. Yet when you are committed to keep doing whatever is necessary, you are sure to find a way.

The important thing is to focus on the goal, and put your energy into doing your best to reach that goal. Accept that you may not get the result you desire, then step forward anyway, and do everything within your power to achieve that result.
At the very least, you'll gain valuable experience. And with enough experience, you'll eventually be able to get it right.
It's true that there are no guarantees. After all, if it were a sure thing, someone else, far less capable than you, would have already claimed the prize.
Go ahead and make the effort. It will work when you're committed to make it work.

Ralph Marston
