Identify The Things That Have Prevented You From Being Successful
Have you been struggling for years to accomplish some
goals without success? Are you wondering why you haven't been able
to lose the weight you want, be more energetic, earn more money, learn
new skills, be a better communicator, or accomplish whatever desires
and dreams you have?
Has it finally dawned on you in all these years that
your lifestyle is not one you are totally satisfied with? Do you become
so frustrated at times because you don't know the remedy to your dilemma?
Well, I understand how you feel because I struggled
for years myself trying to accomplish my goals without success. I
had that spark in me but couldn't get the fire ignited to create a
strong enough "burning desire"
Then I finally learned why I wasn't achieving those
dreams I so desperately wanted. It was so simple I couldn't believe
it The reason was I hadn't become 'passionate" enough about my
goals. Does this sound like what has happened to you, too?
If this is true then let me tell you what you must
do. You need to develop a detailed plan for your life. You must "write
your goals down." Now you may have heard this before but decided
it wasn't necessary. Well friend I'm telling you it is not only necessary
to write them down but also to review them daily.
So believe me. This works. Unless you you do this
you will fall right back into the same "old rut" as before.
Once you have a list of goals pick a few from the list that you feel
the most "passionate" about. Next decide "why"
you want to accomplish them. If your "why" is strong enough
you will find a way to accomplish your goals.
Let me give you an example exactly what you must do.
Let's say Your goal is: I want less stress in my life. Then you would
write Because I can't relax - because I can't control my anger - because
I'm afraid I may have a stroke or heart attack - because I don't have
any patience.
Next step is to write down the things that are required
to achieve this goal.
Here's some ideas:
Take a time out away from what's causing the stress.
- walk away from it for awhile - go do something else - find a place
to stretch out and relax - find someone to talk to about your stress
- begin to brainstorm what caused your stress in the first place -
make note of the consequences for letting your stress continue.
Now address this problem on a daily basis even when
you are not stressful Plan daily exercises which might be things such
as; Joining a YMCA or health club and using their facilities for at
least 30 minutes a day - spent an allotted time each day in a secluded
and quiet place just relaxing and listening to soothing music. Read
articles and or books about managing stress. Just designate at least
one activity each day that addresses this problem.
You will now be able to identify why you weren't successful
in the past and how to avoid failure in the future for achieving your
goals. You should no longer have any excuses for not accomplishing
your goals.
If you have finally decided the time has come to change
your lifestyle and the way you do things in more positive ways then
my methods are exactly what you need. Try them. You'll love the feeling
when your goals become reality. I guarantee it.
