Just as the car needs gasoline to move forward, so your goals need your daily actions to be achieved.
When we talk about the things that we want to achieve, we generally have a more or less clear idea of what we want, it is not always the case with the actions that we need to take to achieve those goals, as well as clarity in both the goals and the steps towards them is what will lead us to success.
On December 14, 1911, Roal Admunsen conquered the South Pole after a nearly three-month journey from the Bay of Whales; on May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary conquers the top of Mount Everest, almost four weeks from the start of the climb; On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to reach the Moon after a four-day journey in space.
Although these achievements seem to be surprising (and in fact they are), more surprising is that people through actions that add up to small advances make them possible and achievable. Examples like the above are abundant in human history: large companies that start as a dream, as an idea, an idea to which later specific actions are added to make it a reality until it becomes a goal achieved.
Our life is a mirror of human history, even in these great feats. We constantly set goals, dreams, wishes, but if this is not accompanied by concrete actions, the realization of them is not only adrift but completely to one's luck.
An anecdotal joke tells that two friends were lying under a tree when they see a thrown bill near them, as towards a little wind one of the friends begins to pray silently, then the other asks him what if he does, at what that the friend replies that he prays that the wind will bring them the ticket, and that if that turns out, it was already that day they will eat very tasty.
Sometimes there are those who behave like the imaginary characters in this story, that is, they want something but they are not intending to do what is necessary to achieve it.
Let's understand something, life is like a supermarket: you go and see things you like, but (the big but), you must be willing to pay the price of the things you see in the supermarket to get them, just like in life, everything has a price, call it work, study, effort, dedication, if one is willing to pay the price that is asked of us what we want will become ours, otherwise we will only look in the window of life what we would have wanted without we have never had it.
A simple exercise: think of a goal you want to achieve, one you have not yet achieved; If you are not able to think of five concrete actions that will allow you to reach that goal, believe me you are still a long way from even starting the path towards it.
Why five? Because the goals carry concrete direct and indirect actions and generally two or three actions are required to achieve the goal itself, but another four or six are required to do the first. For example, mastering a sport will require practice time, but at the same time a change in schedules to meet the required practice time. So if you can not determine at least five actions in the goal you set, better sit down and think carefully about what you want and how to achieve it.
Life has challenges, it has goals, it has dreams, in the same way you have everything you need to conquer that challenge, achieve that goal or achieve that dream, only it is required that you take one step towards it every day, after all like this Just as the car needs gasoline to move forward, so your goals need your daily actions to be achieved.
