What Do You Really Want to Achieve?
Something Buck Inspire said a while back really stuck with me:
Why do anything if you are just going through the motions?
While no one is completely upbeat and enthusiastic 100% of the time, he’s got a good point. Why do something if you’re not going to make it worth your while?
Half-hearted attempts won’t get you a thing — excepted wasted time and energy. Unless of course you don’t really believe you can be successful, deep down inside. If that’s the case, you’ll probably be proving yourself right if you just sort of halfway try, which isn’t such a great thing. It’s a lot more enjoyable too live out your dreams.
So if you want to achieve something, go for it with all you’ve got. Really put forth the effort, and do what it takes — whether that’s doing some additional learning, researching what’s needed, taking a leave of absence, or just putting in a heck of a lot of hours.
Yes, there’s such a thing as testing the waters — especially for new ideas you want to try out — but even that should be done deliberately and with complete effort. Don’t just go through the motions — in life or in reaching for your goals.
Figure out what you really want to achieve — whether it’s for today, tomorrow, or your life.
Then enjoy your effort. Be present. Get to where you want to be.
Go big or go home. :)
There you go :)
It’s good to periodically take stock and focus on long-term goals. Once our sense of purpose is reinforced, it’s easier to pick out the most important endeavors and then go for it 100%. It’s remarkable what can happen with true passion and perseverence.
That’s it exactly — passion and perseverance.
This kind of mindset is exactly how I dug myself out of $14K in credit card debt, saved my house down-payment, bought my condo, and now have a $20K emergency fund. You simply must have the “go big” mindset, and you have to keep your eyes on the prize!
Sounds like you are excellent at doing exactly that!
Couldn’t agree with you more! Find your life passion and chase after it with all your heart.
Why not, right? :)
I usually start with the outcome and develop a plan to achieve it. It is part of goal setting.
That’s a good way to go about it.
Very inspiring. Yes, I think you should go big or go home. The tough part is that when life is pulling you in 100 directions, you can’t give 110% in all areas of life so something has to give. I’ve come to learn to be okay with picking my battles and not beating myself up over being mediocre at the things that aren’t the biggest priority
That’s true, total effort in everything would be just exhausting, to say the least. But in the things that you really want to achieve, it’s a different story.
Very true. The best way to stay inspired is to write down your goal, keep a journal, do something to make it feel like more than a dream.
What if I know what I want to achieve? And I am alreayd on my journey..what would you seggest?
I’d suggest sticking with it until you reach your goal :)
