Dejected Goals
There are times when the goals you are attempting to attain become seemingly just out of reach, unattainable, impossible, and utterly unfathomable. But then you keep pressing forward with audaciously, malleable fervor. And even with all that arduous work towards your goal you become dispirited, dejected, and miserably morose. Amongst that you keep trying, scratching, reaching, fighting for your goals. What happens then?
Down In The Trenches
There are those moments when all of the above happens and you have moments of disbelief in yourself, just going through the motions just to get by and finish the day. It is when you are entrenched deep within these moments that you find yourself getting slapped by determination. Not a collection of motions held together forming resoluteness but a note of significance, a split second of consequence, a click of the minute hand in the right direction that form something new. Something new inside of you that helps fuel your passions, rescues your sanity, and liberates your soul from the wrenching chains of monotony and depression.
Nothing Is Wasted
When the minutes of your servitude for your goals add up it is a crashing slap in the face, a collision of hopes and dreams that communicate to you that all of your time has not been wasted on futile acts of causality. It this sliver of the hour glass that tells you this is not over, this is only the beginning of things to come and hope will follow. It is this friction of time that whispers in your ear, letting you know that dammit your doing the best you can and it is worth it.
What Do You Do?
To work through your business effortlessly and attain your goals there will be times when you feel it is almost time to give up and throw in the towel but it is at that point that you are given a glimmer of truth to your actions. That they were not spent in futility but that if you keep propelling towards your goal you will finally attain what you have hoped for.
The List
When the hard times come (they will) here’s a helpful way to keep pushing foward.
- Don’t give up
- Assess your past actions (Is it not working because its a bad idea or is it you. Do some research.)
- Make a plan (Write it down and organize it in real actionable, attainable steps)
- Execute your plan (Don’t simply create motion, it’s deceiving and only wastes time)
- Remove emotions (Be careful not to remove your humanity from it though)
- Get help (Maybe you’re not attaining your goals because you don’t have enough help, you’re only one person)
- Shake ‘em down (Run through your Rolodex and see who can help you, you never know who might be willing to help)
- Don’t be afraid to ask (Often we miss opportunities because we are afraid to ask questions, especially when regarding money)
- Hold steadfast (Many people will often naysay what you are attempting to do, mostly because they are too afraid to try themselves and misery loves company)
- Repeat
