Do Not Rush, But Do Not Forget What You Want

‘Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand.’- George MacDonald

If you know what you want, if you are going somewhere, then take your time. Do not rush, but do not do it forever.

Great things take time, but they don’t take forever to achieve them.

Like or not, whatever is taking you forever to achieve is not for you. How long do you think you still have on earth?

Why do you want to spend the rest of your life with something that is lifeless, that is not working, that is dead? Why?

Instead, why not move on to what is right in front of you. We don’t see what is in front of us because we are after what is on the other side of the fence. Guess what? There is nothing there.

What you have right now is what you need to get to your next level. If you do it well, your next level is possible. If you do not do it well, your next level is on hold.

Do not put your greatness on hold. We do it every day. We put our lives on hold when we are waiting for what is not there.

Instead of doing, we are just hoping. If you want to do be successful, hope is not a strategy.

Hope is great, but you must do the work. Do not wait for what is not there. Instead, take what you already have and turn it into what you are waiting for.

Instead of waiting for your dream job, why not turn what you are doing right now into what you are waiting for?

If you want to be succeeful, it is not what you are doing that matters; it is how you are doing it that matters.

Be patient, but know what you are doing. Know what you want, and know when to say, ‘enough is enough.’

Don’t Set Your Goals Too High

‘Setting goals too high and hoping to ‘get close’ is one of the most damaging things you can do to your performance.’- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

If you want to achieve success in your life, you need a powerful goal. It is important to have one or two. But setting your goals too high is not going to help you. Instead, it is going to demotivate you.

Goals are motivators, not demotivators. If your goals are not encouraging you, if your goals are not motivating you, then you need new goals. Maybe the ones you have right now are too high for you. If they are too high, you won’t be able to make them happen. And when they are too low, you won’t learn anything from them.

‘If you want to be successful, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, do not set your goals too high.’

The best thing to do is to set goals you can achieve, but not too low. And not too high. Because you need them.

Without a goal, you are not going to achieve success. You won’t even know what is going on in your life. You won’t even know where you are, what you are doing, and where you are going.

Remember, your goal is your guide. If you want to get to the next level in your life, you need a new goal. Do not be scared to start again.

If the goal you have right now is not working, then set a new one. Do not forget that life is about growth. If you do not have a goal, if you do not have something to fight for, then how are you going to grow?
