Hi MF.
Do you have weak ass goals?
Everyone’s taught the importance of goals– but sometimes the reason you don’t stick has nothing to do with how hard you worky-work or your lack of discipline. Sometimes you fall out of love– and I don’t see this talked about enough.
The measure of a goal has nothing to do with how bad you say you want it, but whether or not it actually motivates you?
And for a while mine didn’t, don’t, and kept failing. Sure. You’re always motivated in the beginning because change is exciting.
But then you keep seeing shiny objects everywhere, maybe your thing isn’t the thing. My solution for us bright lookers is this: Don’t chase the means, but the end.
I always want to try a new path. Always.
I’m realizing my mind’s default is to fall in love with the idea of something entirely new, but this makes it hard as shit not to cheat on my current path. The solution?
What don’t you change on?
The end.
I’ve always wanted a very specific lifestyle and that’s never changed. So the daily reminder to myself is to move towards that lifestyle, and every decision will be held in contrast to that goal.
Does this action move me towards this life that I really wanna?
You have to bank on your weaknesses, and tbh your goals should act as an insurance policy around them.
All the successes that I have had came when I not only considered my bad habits– but counted on them. I got into writing because I knew no matter what, I could stick with it– despite being moody and all over the place.
Even with all the internet turds selling goal setting (#barsAF) –goals are still highly underrated. The right goal will improve just about every aspect of your life.
We’re human beings– we need to move towards something, but it has to be the right thing. So if you struggle to stay moving toward one thing, pick a thing you don’t change on.
Pick the end, and then considering where you normally struggle or fail– what would be the best way to reach that end?
IF you’re honest with yourself, this is all it’ll take.
