Stick To My Goals Once I’ve Decided On Them
By tonet on Aug 4, 2007 in Life and Experience
It’s exciting when I first decide to pursue a new goal. But the excitement can soon fade as the hard work of pursuing my goal kicks in.
Of course I know that nothing worthwhile comes without work, but somehow the initial compulsion to achieve a goal can be incredibly hard to recapture once the initial glow has faded.
It’s the tortoise that wins the race
We live in an “instant world.” Instant food, emails, text messages, and instant fame and fortune or so it seems when we don’t see the hard work that got celebrities where they are today.
We worship instant solutions, speed, fast track lives but the people who really make it big are the ones who can see through all that. They know that steadfast determination, even when it feels thankless, is the way to goal success and ambition fulfillment.
Keep my passion burning
Maybe I’ve been wondering whether it’s even right to follow my goal if it doesn’t feel as exciting now. Maybe I’ve started making excuses to myself in case I fail, or I can’t really recall why I were so excited in the first place.
I’ll hang on a moment! Remember I had good reasons to follow my goals at the time and I need to recall those reasons not just logically but with my heart and my feelings.
I have a post-it note in front of my laptop:
Stay loyal to your goals even when it feels thankless and you will get the right reward at the right time. God will always guide you along the way.
Expecting to be ‘paid’ before the job is properly done (even if it’s emotional ‘payment’) doesn’t work. Your reward will come as a by-product of being able to work hard even when there is no instant reward. That will build something valuable in you and of course you’ll gain the satisfaction and other rewards from actually achieving your goals.
