Posted on 23. Jun, 2010 by Jo-Ann in Lifestyle

Everyone has goals in life! Whether it’s to achieve in school, get promoted at work, playing a sport, to lose weight and for many of us to earn more income. We all share the common purpose of wanting to achieve something in life and each person’s goals will differ from that of those around you. For some of us focusing on our goal is not that hard and in essence we achieve some sort of inner growth. For many of us we fail to stay on track and we tend to lose sight of our hopes and dreams. We just end up not achieving what we had set out to do. If you find yourself in the latter position you need to ask yourself these five questions:

1. Are you Procrastinating? (See… http://wavess.com/2010/06/5-efficient-ways-to-stop-procrastinating) – Is it that you always find a reason to put your assignments off to a later date? At times we tend to get complacent with where we stand. We say we want to achieve something within a set time frame however, we don’t act on it. The sad thing is that when we do decide to act, it may be too late.

2. Is it that we Fear our capabilities? – Most times this is the case. We have a big dream and we set out to work for it. We get started on our journey and the first stumbling block we come across, we throw our hands up in the air ready to give up. In our heads we know we have the power ,yet we doubt ourselves drastically. We tend to hinder our development as much as possible. The thing is if you want to get far in life, we have to face our fears in order to achieve our goals.

3. Is it that your easily Distracted? – Your attention seems to stray away from your aim. Many times we allow ourselves to get engrossed in other things and we forget what is really important to us. Sometimes we are busy with other considerably meaningful things as well. The one thing many of us fail to do is to strike a balance and set some time aside to focus on our various activities.

4. Is it that you spend most of your time Complaining about not seeing results? – You tend to give off negative energy without even noticing. You grumble about not getting your expected results. You are even guided by persons with more experience and you try to find every possible way to prove them wrong just because you tried your way and it did not work. That is not a good sign. Even if the person may be wrong try and work with them and their suggestions while making them your own by inserting your input. You need to open yourself up and take advice. This develops growth and a sense of purpose on your journey to achieve. This will help you to do some deeper thinking.

5. Is it that your just Stuck in your ways? – You aren’t too keen on trying different approaches within a situation because you are used to doing a task in a particular way. You tend to shy away from new ideas. If this continues you will not get very far at all. It is important while you are in your learning stages to explore and experiment. The more you try new things is the more you will learn and the more you will improve. Step out of your little “box”! Think Big!

Best of Luck!
