What do you do if, moving to a dream, you run into obstacles?
You have already traveled a considerable way, but, peering into the horizon, you see that it is still very far from the desired goal. But this is by no means a reason to abandon your dreams! There is a way out
To continue moving, you will need a large supply of patience and perseverance.
It is important to focus on your dream, but do not get hung up on the result.
Instead of thinking about how long you still go, look back. You will see what a long way you have already overcome!
Despite the fact that in life there are really situations when it makes sense to abandon something, we often make a mistake, too hastily abandoning our goal.
One of our colleagues loves to repeat:
“If a cauldron does not boil with meat, this does not mean that it is already ready. Most likely, it just extinguishes “.
If it seems to you that on the way to the goal you stumbled upon a stone wall or you have a feeling of dissatisfaction, do not rush to abandon your intentions and try instead to transform the problem that has arisen either into a question or a demand for other people.
EXAMPLE
Problem: “I am too busy to focus on my dream right now”.
Question: “How can I allocate at least a small bit of time every day or every week in order to focus on my dreams and goals?”
Demand: “I demand to provide me every day thirty minutes to be able to focus on my dreams and goals”.
If it seems to you that you have lost concentration and can no longer fully focus on a particular goal or dream, think about what has changed.
Does it not seem to you that, having devoted strength and allocating time for its implementation, you were disappointed, because you did not immediately see real results?
How clearly did you imagine this goal or dream?
Perhaps you bite off a little more than you can swallow at a time?
But what if you try to bite off in small pieces?
If for some time you were fixated on a specific goal or dream, then you may need a small pause. Forget for a while about the desire to implement it.
A certain chiropractic has set himself the goal of building up his business for thirty new customers per month. When he, taking advantage of the popular guidelines such as “Marketing 101”, began to formulate the specific stages of the path to achieving this goal, he soon understood all its grandeur and hardness. Therefore, he appeared at one of our sessions in the hope that we will tell him a way out of this situation.
We advised him not only to take a pause in the realization of a dream, but for some time to completely distract from his business!
Our client needed considerable courage. He had to do only himself during the week and do only what his soul lies: to sunbathe on the seashore, visit cinemas or take hydromassage baths, communicate with friends and engage in other pleasant things.
Of course, our council completely contradicted the traditional life principles of a business person. He wanted to develop his business, and we recommended that he completely change the usual way of life!
Hiropractik took advantage of our advice and forgot about his business for a week.
On the eve of the next session, he called and said that he had several wonderful ideas about expanding the business with the help of an assistant.
The new business system invented by him did not require special costs. Within a month, he found thirty new customers, and they came to him for Christmas holidays – at that time, which is considered to be the “dead season”.
Thus, instead of abandoning his dreams, this person simply weakened the attachment to the result.
However, during the pause recommended to him (in which he, of course, really needed) his intention to achieve the prosperity of his business did not weaken at all.
This led to our client of remarkable ideas (embodied over time in appropriate actions) and the rejection of many goals and actions that, as it seemed to him before, will bring success and prosperity to his business.
EXERCISE
Indicate in your “Journal of Successful” a dream or goal, on the way to the implementation of which you are faced with some kind of obstacle.
Determine whether this goal should be finished further.
Turn the obstacle to the question or requirement that will allow you to advance further.
Analyze your dreams and think about what exactly you would like to concentrate now, and for some time you are completely concentrated on this.
Make sure of the progress you have achieved in the implementation of this goal and changes that have occurred by this time in your life. Celebrate your success!
