These 7 Things Have Stopped ME Pursuing Goals

7 Quick Strategies For Defining, Pursuing And Reaching Your Goals

So, I wanted to share some lessons I've learned so that you can leap towards your goals...

First, some questions. I encourage you to write down the answers (or at least pause and think of your answer) real quick before you move on to the lesson:

• Do you have a goal that you want to pursue?
• Are you finding it challenging to take that first step toward making this goal a reality?
• What's holding you back?
• What has stopped you from taking those first steps to success?

Here are a few that have affected me at one time or another in the past:

1. Feeling Overwhelmed.

Lao Tzu said: 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

No matter how large or how small the endeavour, you still have to begin with a single action. You don't have to have it all figured out. Take the first step.

2. Fear of ___________. (Fill in the blank.)

Failure.

Humiliation.

Loss.

Odds are, the fear that you're experiencing is far worse than the actual reality. 99% of the time, the fear that's holding you back is not that big of a deal. The potential discomfort you'd experience is nothing compared to the pain of staying where you are or the happiness you'd experience from actually achieving your goal.

3. Unwilling to Leave The Comfort Zone.

Is another way of saying you're currently too stuck to reach for your goals.

It would be best if you accepted that achieving anything of significance requires work and dedication. So log out of Facebook, quit texting (unless it's to me:), hop off the couch and make your dreams happen

4. Comparing Yourself with Others.

Objectives are tied to reaching your potential.

Don't worry about other people and what they've done unless it fuels you to work harder and do more. Otherwise, focus on being the best version of you

5. Thinking Things Had to Be Perfect.

Waiting until the situation is perfect is a direct route to inaction because it will never be perfect.

No matter how well prepared you are, there will always be something unexpected that pops up, so don't let the need for perfection stand in your way. Imperfect action is better.

6. Doing More Research.

Is another way of saying 'I'm stalling.' or I'm stuck in 'paralysis by analysis'.

As I just mentioned, things don't have to be perfect to get started, so the need for continuous research before taking action is entirely unfounded.

7. Not Feeling 'Worthy' Enough.

Not deeply believing that you deserve to achieve your goal. The truth is it's not whether or not you're worthy of the target; it's whether or not it's worthy of you!

If you're like me, the seven things that I listed above have at one time or another stood between inaction and action, success and failure...

But they're all just obstacles designed to separate the haves from the have-nots. Those with successful results from those with average results...

The real bottom line is this: no matter what your target is, the best time to start is now!
