Heck, Yes!
The real trouble is that there are too many variables to deal with, too many choices to make. The nett result is that we become paralyzed with the fear of making the wrong choice and so making flawed decisions that ultimately lead...... nowhere.
Lately I've been doing a bit of research to try and come up with a 'foolproof' formula that will help me tune out all the noise and so make better, more effective decisions on my way to success and I'd like to share that formula with you!
1. Have a Vision.
This is the very first step you need to take and it's an important one. You need to build the dream you want to have within yourself, so that your truly understand where you need to be heading. Without a destination, you cannot plan your route.
2. Make it Your Mission .
Create a determination within yourself that you will succeed. One way you can do this is to visualize what your goal will look like in minute, colorful, pin-sharp detail. Close your eyes and see yourself where you want to be. Then go beyond that image and start to feel what it will be like to have left your present situation behind and be living your dream for real.
When ever you start to lose focus along the way, return to this step and remind yourself just how much you desire your goal.
3.Plan Your Strategy.
First, you need to burn all bridges of doubt. This is important because doubt will creep in where ever and when ever it can. Never doubt your dream, your ability or yourself. Accept that there will be setbacks along the way, tiredness will overwhelm you at times and your mood will inevitable be low at times.
Forewarn yourself of these times and plan to accept them, deal with them and move forward again.
4.Goals and Objectives.
This is the easy part as you wouldn't have started out on this path if you didn't have a goal or objective in mind. However, in the light of No. 3 above, take the time to write them down, in as much detail as you can manage, and return to this written record when doubt threatens to derail you.
5.Take Action!
Without action you dreams will remain as insubstantial as a gentle breeze. Without action, your plans will simply have been a waste of time.
I use this simple 3-word phrase to cut through my procrastination and get me moving towards my goals -
"Just Do It!"
6. Guard Yourself Against Negative Influences.
Do not allow others to destroy your dream, because even those who love you may not always be supportive. Be sure to free yourself from all jealousy and envy of what others have but you do not.
Jealous people rarely succeed and certainly never feel content or happy. Don't let that be you.
Watch and learn from those who have succeeded and know that if they can achieve success, then so can you. Understand that any goal will take time to achieve and acknowledge that however long you anticipate it may be before you reach your objective, it is likely to take at least third longer.
Be patient, be persistent, follow your plan and you will eventually get there!
keep going,keep goin
