Fighting for our goals and dreams

 Fighting for our dreams and goals 

I’ve found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences. - Rosabeth Moss Kanter


This for 2024 we got to push hard to achieve our goals. Why I say this because I know how hard it is to make it happen. Let’s look at how we can do this together.

Staying on track with your goals when everything seems to be working against you is hard. But with the right strategies, you can learn how to stay on track no matter what.

Habits

For me, making habits related to the goals helps us achieve them. The more you make these habits stick the more likely you are to succeed. 


1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

When you get off track, do you blame the track? Or do you understand the role of your own decisions and actions? Get on track by first realizing that you are the architect of your life. You can design it to be anything you want, and when you lose focus and let others interrupt your plans, that’s on you. Take personal accountability and go from there.

2. CONNECT WITH YOUR PURPOSE

Tony Robbins often says that, “People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals – that is, goals that do not inspire them.” Do your goals inspire you? If not, it’s easy to lose your focus. When you connect your goals to you ultimate purpose in life, you’ll get crystal clear on what you want to accomplish. You’ll turn your “shoulds” into “musts” and discover how to stay on track with enthusiasm. Check out my other blogs to help inspire you.

3. DON’T LET SELF-TALK DERAIL YOU

We all have that little voice that says things like, “Just 10 more minutes of sleep.” Successful people know how to ignore this voice and stay on track. Eliminate this type of negative-self talk and instead use rituals like incantations to get in the right mindset. Incantations go a step beyond affirmations – instead of just saying the words, you embody them. It provides a powerful feeling of certainty in your goals.staying on track with your goals

4. CREATE EMPOWERING HABITS

There are many empowering habits that can help you stay on track. Meditation is proven to help improve focus, promote productivity and reduce stress – all essential elements of reaching your goals. Many successful people use goal visualization to create a specific, detailed vision of their lives that can actually help it come true. Priming, the exercise Tony uses in his own morning routine, combines elements of both these practices, plus gratitude and more. 

5. USE THE POWER OF PROXIMITY

When everyone around you is laser-focused on achievement, staying on track with your goals doesn’t seem so hard. Surround yourself with ambitious people who will raise you up with them instead of holding you back. You can find a mentor like me, join an online networking group or listen to my podcasts and start leveraging the power of proximity.

6. LEARN HOW TO SAY “NO”

Are you letting other people’s goals throw you off track? Maybe you started a new relationship and you’re working toward their goals instead of your own. Maybe you’re living up to the dreams of your family instead of finding your own happiness. Perhaps you just have too many day-to-day demands from family, friends and work. Get on track by learning to say “no” and prioritizing yourself instead. Self care is important!

7. MAKE A PLAN

You can’t know how to stay on track if you don’t know where the track is. Use a system that works for you to align your daily actions with your purpose, then set goals that will help you get there. The key to success is to break down your overall dream into achievable, measurable Smart goals and then track your progress so you can hold yourself accountable – and celebrate your success when you reach a milestone. It ideal to use a journal for this. 

8. TAKE ACTION EVERY DAY

Ultimately, rewards come in action, not in discussion. The time to take massive determined action is now. Make sure you do something every day that helps you stay on track. Use your N.E.T. time (No Extra Time) to listen to educational podcasts or skip Netflix and check something off your to-do list instead. There are time management apps that can help you focus, chunk your time and control your emotions so you can get more done. I like using google tasks app.

 9. FEED YOUR MIND THE RIGHT FUEL

Just as you need to be careful about who you surround yourself with, you also need to feed your mind the right fuel. Keep your passion and enthusiasm going by reading and listening to content that inspires you to stay on track regularly daily if possible.

QUOTES TO HELP YOU STAY ON TRACK

Inspiration can be found everywhere. Feed your mind with these quotes from a diverse array of leaders and authors. For me I use quotes from an app mantra

8 universal truths to inner peace

 Truths to inner peace  We all seek inner peace: the calm, clarity, and contentment that comes from falling into a harmonious balance with our internal self. But despite how essential inner peace is in finding true happiness, many of us don’t know where to start on this journey of personal growth and transformation. In today’s hectic and ever-changing world, inner peace may seem like a foreign concept, but cultivating it doesn't require huge life changes like moving to Bali. Rather, finding peace within ourselves is more of an individual journey to be embraced and explored. Overview The 8 universal truths for inner peace include: Our imagination often causes us more suffering than reality does; We are not free if we cannot control ourselves; Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret; when we really don’t need to. No matter how anxious we may be, it won't change the course of events that are bound to happen; we got to change how  W...

Unlocking your full potential: A guide to self-improvement

Unlock your full potential: self improvement  Personal development is any activity that makes you a better person. Its goal is to give you more confidence and make you a happier, more satisfied individual. It concerns itself with improving awareness, honing talents, developing emotional intelligence and building your appreciation of yourself and all of your attributes. As with any significant undertaking, but especially one that can be as life-changing as personal development, it’s worth taking a deep look at why it is undertaken, or what your motivation should be before taking it on.  Motivation is the fuel that will keep you going as you discover and create the best version of yourself. It’s intrinsically related to purpose, because if you don’t know your purpose in life, you can hardly know what your destination should be and what motivations you need in order to get there. By reminding yourself of what your purpose or bottom line is, you are more likely to have the self-mo...
