You're Not Just Whistling Dixie!

It is a lot better to shoot for stars and miss them half way, than to shoot for ceiling and miss it half way. There seems to be a direct relationship between how easy we can accomplish our goals, and mental power propelling motivation.

If you're not expending considerable energy to reach stars, then it ain't stars you're reaching for. You might as well be reaching for a clouded crystal ball, and reciting, twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.

The stars don't give themselves easy to anyone. When you set your sights for stars, you will subconsciously increase amount of effort that you apply. You have too. The higher goal, more your reason will tell you to be objective and honest with yourself. It will become mandatory that you expend enough effort to move your mountain.

So, you will set a series of steps that have to be reached in order to go to next level or higher position. Goals are never reached, no matter how high or low, in one step. And, each level that we find ourselves having reached, we gain a little more confidence and head for next level.

Get A Move On!

Ask yourself this question. Where will you be and what will you be doing ten years from now if you keep doing what you are doing right now? This is importance of setting a deadline for goal. When you write your goal, you will specify time limit for achieving it. This gives finality to it.

Keep this in mind. Always be aggressive in asking life for more than what you really want. Ask for more than what you think you're worth. Why should I do that? Because, people have a tendency to meet demands and expectations that are placed upon them within their time constraints. Waiting With Baited Breath!

After you rise to occasion and present prize to yourself, then next time you set out to accomplish a goal, you will be mentally prepared to grab whole enchilada, take a licking and keep on ticking.

It will be very beneficial if you outline goal from beginning to end. Just don't try to answer every question at very beginning. This is sometimes not possible. We don't always know all answers when first starting out. This is why fear sometimes will hold us back. But, fear is never a friend to your goals. And, besides, devil you know is better than devil you don't.

Herein Lays Your Door Of Opportunity!

This is so important for you to take action on goal and start moving towards it one step at a time. And, keep moving and keep moving. It won't move closer to you unless you're moving closer to it. And, if you let pony die, ride is over.

Find ways to self-soothe. Draw upon your faith, get a massage, meditate, exercise, journal. Talk with a good listener, spend extra time with loved ones, maintain a healthy diet, stick to nurturing routines.

Remember you have a choice in discussions about war. You can choose to engage or not, knowing that everyone who has an opinion thinks theirs will make world better. End discussion on a positive note. You can connect; you can't always convince, and do you need to? Value being in relationship over being “right”.

Stay away from catastrophizing in your conversations, and in your mind. Words like "never" and "always" and "those people" are rarely true and usually not helpful. The truth is, we don't know what outcome will be.

Seek help if you need it. Counselors and psychologists can help you deal with your reactions triggered by past events. Coaches can help you stay focused on moving ahead with plans and goals.

Start a new personal adventure. Take a course, start a new hobby, focus on a personal or professional development issue, lose weight, get in shape. The way we make world better is one person at a time. This is a great time to forge ahead!
