We’ve all dreamt of winning the lottery, or maybe being granted three wishes by a magic genie. But let’s be honest, wouldn’t that take away the thrill of the chase? Sure, we’d love a bigger house, a swanky car, or maybe even to conquer Mount Everest. But wouldn’t these achievements feel hollow if we didn’t have to lift a finger to attain them?
Before you can start to plan your success goals, there are many things that you need to understand before you can be sure that the goals you set are really the ones you want.
One of those things is to determine if there are any Limiting Beliefs that can stop you from actually achieving those goals.
I have a self-study Limiting Belief Program that you can go through to determine what your Limiting Beliefs are and how you can remove them.
You can read more and register for the program at Limiting Beliefs Program on my Confidence and Life Coaching website.
Start your journey on your path to success by identifying and removing your Limiting Beliefs so that you make the journey a lot easier.
The crux of the matter is that our goals are more than just shiny trophies or fancy titles. They represent a journey of self-discovery, growth, and resilience.
The Thrill of the Chase
Imagine this: A magic genie grants you all your wishes. You’re now rich, can play the piano like a pro, have a successful business, and are married to your dream partner. Sounds perfect, right? But hold on a minute. Don’t you feel something’s missing?
The thrill of working towards these goals, the joy of overcoming obstacles, the satisfaction of personal growth – all of these are missing from this picture. Simply put, things we don’t work for don’t hold the same value.
The Post-Goal Blues
Ever felt a strange sense of emptiness after achieving a long-pursued goal? Whether it was landing your dream job, graduating from university, or finally visiting Hawaii, the euphoria soon gave way to a surprising ‘blah’ feeling.
This might seem strange. After all, you got what you wanted, right? But it’s the journey towards the goal, filled with challenges, learning, and growth, that gives us a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
The Struggle is Real (And Rewarding)
The real kicker? It’s not just about winning. It’s about the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the journey. The thrill of overcoming a challenge, the satisfaction of pushing past your limits, the joy of surprising yourself – these are what make the journey worthwhile.
Personal Growth: The Unsung Hero
Sure, having a successful business is exciting. But isn’t it the journey that truly matters? Learning new skills, perfecting your sales pitch, and becoming a better version of yourself – these are the real rewards.
The path to achieving big goals forces us to grow and evolve. And isn’t that the real appeal?
The Learning Curve
When we struggle, we learn. If a new car is simply handed to you, you lose the chance to learn how to earn, save, and invest. Challenges force us to learn, whether through study or through trial and error.
The Magic Wand vs The Sweat of Your Brow
Picture this: You’ve achieved all your goals, but without any effort. They were simply handed to you. How does that make you feel? Would you still be the same person if you could lose 50 pounds by waving a magic wand instead of changing your diet and working hard at the gym?
Achieving goals gives us more than just the end result.
Our goals give us a chance to struggle, grow, and feel accomplished. They boost our self-confidence and self-esteem.
While having things handed to us might be nice, it lacks meaning. So, ditch the wishes for good luck. Instead, wish for strength and determination. Remember, the goal isn’t the end game. It’s the journey that truly matters!
