PostsPower Change
One of the most common reasons that people don’t get to accomplish their goals is that we tend to get distracted, and we lose track of valuable things that need to be done consistently for us to progress towards our goals. Maybe you have made a perfectly achievable goal and thought out every detailed step, but without effectively tracking your goal and witnessing firsthand how far you’ve come, almost always you will get discouraged when the first challenging distraction gets in the way and you end up stopping progress toward your goal early.
If you want to change your life, you need to focus you goals down to single points. The goal “targets” are going to allow you to observe change much more readily then if you use sweeping broad objectives. Trying to “become healthy” is difficult to evaluate, and, in the end, a defeatist goal. Now, trying to “run 10 minutes a day” can be evaluated, and the goal is not connected to the results of the action. You don’t actually want to run, you want what running gives you (Being thin). But, you’re not watching how thin you are, you’re just counting minutes of running. Staying focused on the small steps makes broader goals easier to achieve.
I spent a long time trying to figure out how I could start my own business. I finally realized that the key is to focus on the small and realistic goals. I didn’t look at the journey to my goal as a start line and a finish line, I looked at as a start line followed by an endless number of way points and then a finish line. This way of thinking has greatly helped change my life. If you have the time to use Google translator, there is a French article that has a surprisingly large amount of insight on this: “(comment changer de vie)”. It’s very informative. If you can tolerate the language gap, reading it is well worth the time.
A friend of mine has a saying, “NFQ”. It means “Never Quit”(the “F” is silent). Whenever he was having trouble attaining a goal, that’s what he would say. I think there’s a great deal of truth in that saying. If you never give up, no matter what, then almost nothing is impossible. You should apply that concept to changing jobs and see just how far you can go.
Finally, the power of change is amazing. I think that if you haven’t really set you mind to your goals before, now is the best time to start. You need only stay focused, keep your goals simple, and keep going no matter what and you will see that you can change your life in almost no time at all.
