You set your goals but somehow you are unable to achieve them?
In this article I
will introduce you 6 reasons why you do not achieve your goals. Most likely at
least one reason will apply to you.
1. You give up too
quickly
Our greatest
weakness lies in giving up.
Premature leaving
is the most common reason why people do not achieve their goals.
The people I most admire are the ones who have very much
patience..They have the endurance for the unfortunate relationship, that stupid
job, financial problems, the futility of their own life, etc.
These people -
maybe even you - have an enormous perseverance to persist such states.
But when it comes
to your own goals, many people tend to quit prematurely.
You can be
demotivated by setbacks and failures. Failure is a part of the process to
achieve your goals, especially while dealing with problems we face many
difficulties and tend to quit in between.
There will always be stumbling blocks on the way of your
destination that you need balance upon.
But this is
precisely the difference between successful and unsuccessful people.
Successful people
make the mistakes but they cope up with setbacks.
They do fall just like us – even sometimes very hard – but they
get up again!
That's what you
need to do if you have not reached your goals. Cope up with setbacks, make
mistakes and learn from them. Never give up! No way!
I really read a lot
of success stories and get inspired by them. Just about all of these people
have one thing in common.
They have the
necessary endurance and the will to achieve their goal. Whatever it takes to
achieve their goals.
This is because
these people are convinced to achieve this goal.
As the saying
goes: They do their thing!
To achieve ones
objectives, one should be able to keep the course and not go astray. The road
to success is never straight.
There will be many
curves ... sometimes you may even find yourself running in circles.
Mountains will
appear in front of you and will block the view of your target. The path will be
blocked by many obstacles ... But the strong will, the conviction and the
necessary perseverance will bring you to your destination eventually anyway.
Premature
abandonment is the most common (and, unfortunately, the most fatal reason), why
people do not achieve their goals.
2. You have set the
wrong target
Here is a guide to
setting goals properly.
Lack of
motivation, not having the will to achieve your goal is possible signs that you
are heading the wrong target. Is it really your goal? Or it might be one of
someone else? Your partner, your parents or your boss?
You must represent
your goals downright!
The fire in you must burn to achieve the goals, If there is no
fire within your to achieve the goal then you have set wrong targets for you.
Some parents want their son to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer.
These goals are
not difficult to achieve, but since this is not his goal, but his parent’s
goal, one finds it very difficult to achieve this. Even if somehow one manages to achieve these
goals, it will not satisfy him.
A goal always has to match your own values.
You have to
imagine your values as a compass that sets your directions in life.
But if your
compass pointing north, but you sail westwards, then you will never arrive at
the right destination...
... So you should
be able to identify your own objectives. Ask yourself the following questions:
Will this target
make me happier?
Will it fit my
values?
Is it really what
I want?
Can I really think
of it myself?
Your goals are within
yourself, you will have to find this on the basis of your values!
3. You do not Act
You know what are
your goals?
You also know how
to achieve it?
Wonderful!!
But if you do not
act, you will never achieve your goal.
Most people are
afraid, afraid to fail, so let it be.
I am not good
enough.
I cannot do it.
I do not deserve
it.
If you believe
that you cannot achieve your objective and does not deserve success, then you
will never reach your destination and will not succeed in life.
You must be 100%
convinced that you want to be successful.
Believe in
yourself, your abilities and talents.
Do not move it to
tomorrow, do something every day to meet your goals.
4. You have no
strategy
If you set
yourself a goal, one must also know how you want to achieve it.
Failing to plan is
planning to fail.
How will I get there?
When should this
task be done?
What do I need to
complete it?
You should have a plan A and an alternate plan B or C in some
cases. If one plan doesn’t work, do not change your goal but switch to an alternate
plan. If you do not plan at first then you man panic if one of the ways won’t
work and it is a high chance that you may quit because of that.
Through a plan you
will always have the structure in mind and know what comes next ... what are
the next steps... when they will be introduced.
5. You have
unrealistic goals
To set big goals
is good, but they still need to be "visible" anyway. Your goals
should be SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.
You cannot expect a baby in one month even if you put 9 men at
work. Do not make goals that very unlikely to achieve.
Your goal should
be not be so hard and big that you lose motivation when it seems too big and
therefore unattainable.
It is quite
unrealistic, if I currently earn just 300$, but wants to be a multi-millionaire
in 6 months.
But if I give myself 10 years, then that is a lot
more realistic.
6. Looking for excuses
"I've tried
everything, but it does not work!"
Thomas Edison, the
inventor of the light bulb, was asked how it feels to have failed thousand times. He replied:
I failed not
thousand. I have thousand successful ways how not to light a bulb.
How many times
does Edison failed, that does not matter now. It’s a success story being a long
failure story.
Fact is, he tried
over and over again.
Try, try ... There
is a solution for every problem, you must do whatever it takes you to get the
appropriate results.
You cannot have
tried everything, it is guaranteed that there is always something you have not
tried yet.
