What gets you to quit
You must have a Goal
All successful (and potentially successful) people have pre-determined goals. You must have a goal in order to know what it is you would like to achieve. You cannot shoot a target if you do not have a target.
But sometimes it happens that we give up on our goals. Why does this happen?
The email I received from Be Motivated Today this morning explains possible reasons. I pasted it below for all to read. If you read the message below you will realize how important daily motivation is. Zig Ziglar said “Motivation is like taking a bath. You have to do it every day.”
I don’t know what it takes to quit on your goals or dreams, Pieter. Some people give up at the slightest opposition. They figure the goal is just not worth the effort, I guess.
Others work hard and do what it takes for years and then suddenly lose the drive to carry on. Why?
The reason could be:
* No longer wanting to achieve it (Motivational)
* Insurmountable obstacles (Legitimate or Motivational)
* Lack of interest (Motivational)
* Loss of hope (Motivational)
* Family opposition (Legitimate)
* Conflict of values (Legitimate)
The list above can be divided into 2 groups: Legitimate Reasons and Motivational Reasons as indicated.
Insurmountable obstacles are a bit grey.
Here’s the point though. If you are about to quit, ask yourself if it is because of of a legitimate reason or because of a lack of motivation. If it is motivational, then I urge you to take a break, but then find someone to help you become motivated again. Spend some time pouring over your goals. Get excited about them again and make new plans to achieve them.
Never quit on your dreams because of motivational reasons, Pieter!
Be all you can be.
