Life is often like an obstacle course, it’s all about getting through, under or over the obstacles to reach your desired goals, but this is precisely where some people trip up or get stuck. However, it’s only normal to encounter obstacles in the pursuit of your goals.
Unfortunately, when these obstacles start to become a nuisance to the point of blocking your progress or worse, making one completely abandon their goal, one must take action and think things through.
So, with that said, here are some helpful, tested pointers that will keep your attention focused on achieving any goal that you put your mind to.
1. Think with Positive Intention
This means: Do not quit. Especially when one is midway through working towards an important goal, there is be no room for quitting.
To quit is tantamount to going back to the starting line of goal accomplishment. That is time, energy, money, and a whole lot of things wasted and lost. It is more costly to quit than to find a solution to the problem, not to mention the frustration and disappointment one then feels.
2. Keep a clear, open and tense-free mind
Always be ready to receive new ideas. Think in a wide scale manner and always be open to new options to eliminate the particular obstacle you are currently dealing with.
3. Persist and Persevere
Focus and concentrate. Be sure to exhaust every possible solution, even to the point of trial and error, to correct any problems you’re dealing with.
4. Take regular breaks and find inspiration during that time
Get away from the tasks/work regularly, especially when you feel tired or drained. Enjoy some exercise, some time outdoors or a hobby. Fresh inspiration and renewed energy will help you to achieve more after a break.
5. Ask for Help
Get support and assistance from others who are more knowledgeable on the work or topic. Their suggestions might not necessarily be the exact ones you were hoping to hear, but they may trigger some NEW ideas to help you find the right solution to your problem.
