Today’s Task – Keep smiling and don’t give up on your goals
If like me, you have ambitions and plans to be successful, you will notice that sometimes things can be so tough that you feel like giving up. You want to sleep at night, but you can’t because you have so much to do, but not enough time and energy left to do them.
You want to go way on a break for a few days to clear your head but you can’t as you don’t have enough money. Each year, as you add another year to your life, you start getting scared, your confidence in your abilities to turn things round start going down and you start to believe you are getting too old to achieve your goals
Despite all these challenges and doubts you may have just remember this “ If you don’t keep going, you’ll never know how far you could have gone and you’ll miss out on being the person you’d become through the effort itself. If you do keep going, well, it’s like this quote: “Shoot for the moon, for even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”.
How to turn things round
Sort it out yourself
Go back to your original business plan and review your targets and goals making sure they are realistic and whether you need to change things.
Spend your time wisely
Monitor how you spend your time so that you can maintain a good work life balance. You have to remember that though there are a lot of things you want to do, you alone cannot do it all. So you need to make sure your prioritise things. Scale back your time commitment to something you can more easily maintain. But whatever you do, don’t give yourself a reason to one day utter the words, “I quit because I was scared.”
Get someone to help you
If you are struggling to sort things out, try and get help from someone else – I would suggest a mentor or business coach who can guide you and help you see things from a different perspective.
Why you should keep going
You have invested and devoted so much time, energy, money and effort into developing your dream so do whatever it takes to keep going and never give up!
Till tomorrow – try to keep smiling, keep having a positive attitude and keep expecting good things to happen to you. May the Smile be with you!
