My dad always advice me to work hard towards my goals. Working hard towards one's goals is a normal advice and form of encouragement. But guess the weird thing? He said I should never set limits for my goals. He always argued that there is no limit to what one can achieve.
One thing I've realized in life is our lives can be shaped by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to influence us and the goals we give ourselves.
If we only dream and take no action then we get no further. But if we plan, dream and take actions then our takes a different shape.
you need to go beyond just writing down your goal. Writing down your goal doesn't get your goal achieved. It's ridiculous to write down your goal and expect it to be realized. To write a goal is just a minor step forward. The rest of the elements of how to reach the goal should also be stated clearly with a definite time frame.
This means that you must develop a detailed plan of action where each action step is detailed on what you have to do in order to achieve that set goal. Without a detailed plan with definite time frame then you ain't creating any kind of expectations in your mind or any sense of urgency.
But what about the obstacles along the path of success?
These obstacles are inevitable and must set up your mind on not giving up no matter the size of the obstacle you meet or how long it's gonna take for you to jump that obstacle. Even when following your action plan the obstacles are bound to be met. You gotta expect them even before you start and they must be viewed as inconveniences which you need to resolve and move on. These are the points at which most people quit but you don't have to be like most people. Show that you are different, Show that you have the dedication and resolve to continue
and you would demonstrate to yourself and everyone around you are really dedicated to accomplishing that which you have set out in your goal statement. Do not go at it alone for the fact that you know there will always be a minor roadblocks, it is advisable to solicit the guidance and help of a mentor. This mentor should be a person with a positive attitude ,skilled at finding solutions to issues and problems and may have experienced similar issues along their way to accomplishing his own goal. I cannot stress finding the right mentor enough. Goals and actions can help us achieve more than what one has accomplished in a lifetime when there are no set limits. To sum it all up, don't put yourself in a bottle called limits just move out of your comfort zone and secure if you want to move forward.
