Why You Must Make Up Your Mind

Plato said, ‘Make up your mind, then, or rather have your mind already made up, for the time of delibration is over, and there is only one thing to be done, which must be done this very night, and if we delay at all will be no longer practicable or possible.’

If you know what you want for yourself, then stop waiting. Do not waste your time. The time of serious thinking is over. The time of intense planning is over. And the time of doubt, of fear, is over. Now is the time to act. If you do not act to make your dreams come true, they will die.

Whatever you want to do in your life, you can do it. And if you do not do it, your life will never change. Remember, for your life to change, something must change. According to Ozan Varol, ‘The key is to forget the noun and do the verb instead. If you want to be a blogger, start blogging every week. If you want to be a stand-up comedian, start performing at open-mic nights. If you want to be a podcaster, podcasting.’

If you want your life to take a different direction, you must take a different direction.’

He is right. If you want anything to change in your life, you must take action. If you want to get rid of something you do not like in your life, you have got to take a big action. If not, nothing is going to happen. Because nothing happens without action.

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?
