When you aren’t obstructing your own progress by feeling sorry for yourself, you’ll be able to achieve your goals with much less resistance.
Most of us don’t have goals, we have aims… not even that, we’ve got ideas.
We’ve got some vague illusion for what we want out of life floating around in our minds, but no actual way to measure, define, or act on it.
These ideas are where you’re delusional. We all have blind spots, and it’s different for each of us– but to see them you’ll have to become far more objective.
When it comes to creation, I easily default to delusion. Whether that be starting a business, working on a project, creating content… it doesn’t matter. My love for grandiose ideas, blinds any potential progress.
I learned to combat this by chasing problems, problems I want to SOLVE.
Practicality.
For me not to get lost in the idea phase, I always choose the quickest action and move on it immediately.
I know I’m going to sound like some flat, uninteresting, 2-dimensional robot, but dreams never got me anywhere- GOALS did.
If you want to go somewhere knew, you’ll need to change your approach.
- Specific – What is the direction and meaning of the goal I’m pursuing?
- Measurable – Will the goal be able to be measured?
- Attainable – Is the goal realistic?
- Relevant – Does the goal align with my inner self?
- Time-Bound – When will the goal need to be met?
