Struggling to follow through on your goals? Check your “factory settings”.
Let me guess. You have a big idea, a desire, or a dream that you know is meant for you.
You think about it a lot. Maybe you’ve even talked about it. And now your friends have started asking: so that______ you want to do, how’s it going?
But you haven’t done anything.
All you have are the swarming thoughts:
Maybe it was just a phase…
I can’t motivate myself…
I’m not _____ enough…
I’m not cut out for this…
It’s not going to happen….
These are phrases I hear from my coaching clients every week. And I’ve been there myself. You’re hearing this from the woman who identified as a writer first, human second from age 8, yet didn’t write for 6 years — 6 years! — in her 20s because she was waiting for “inspiration” to strike. Doh!
Why you haven’t worked towards that big goal yet
If I may, allow me the liberty of pinpointing why you haven’t started working towards that big goal yet.
- You haven’t gotten clear on your overall vision: the why
- You haven’t been specific on what the goal actually…
