Damn elusive things are goals.
Even the few people who set them don’t seem to get the results they want. I’ve been there myself many times over several years. I would write them down, recite affirmations, practise visualization and so on.
Some of the stuff I’d get and other stuff I never seemed to achieve no matter what I did.
I finally took a step back and had a long hard chat with myself. I asked myself two questions:
1. What do you REALLY want?
2. Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to get it?
Some of the stuff I had thought I wanted I didn’t really. Flashy cars, build orphanages in Romania and so on. They just were not my passion. Getting black belts, hitting my goal weight, financial goals were all stuff I really wanted so I actually wanted to put the work in.
The thought of me going out to buy a new BMW or flying first class doesn’t appeal to me at all so no wonder why I never felt motivated to take action. So:
1. What do you REALLY want?
2. Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to get it?
