When we first start working on a goal, we are full of passion, fire and emotion within us. We feel invincible and you know we can achieve what we want. We begin to run toward that goal, determined to make that happen, and we know we can make what we want happen.
So, that's when we start to encounter some obstacles along the way. You can fight some of them, but then we start making excuses for not working on those goals anymore. Interest is lost and we allow ourselves to be confused with daily activities. Before we know it, our goal has moved to "another plane" and we are no longer focused on it. But what is even worse is that we believe that we can no longer make our dream come true. So what happened to us? To conduct a situation analysis, there are four key ingredients that can make dreams come true.
The first questions you should ask yourself are:
Why? What is your reason for wanting this particular goal? Suppose your goal is to buy yourself a home. Ask yourself why do I want this? Your answer may be something like… "because I want to be the owner of my property, instead of having to pay rent every month for the rest of my life." Then why? How important is it to you to have your own house or pay a rent? Your answer may be… "because I want to have the house for when I retire from work, so I don't have to worry about paying a rent or a mortgage with my income." That's very good! Are you going to do it for yourself or for other people? Always ask yourself Why ?, and write the answers until you reach the bottom of your desire. Once you see clearly what motivates you in your mind… you will know which way to go.
Do you think you deserve it? Many of us struggle with our low self-esteem and feel that we don't deserve to be successful and abundant in life. You know what? If you don't think you deserve it, you're going to resist when that opportunity comes and let it pass right under your nose.
You can do this unconsciously, to sabotage your own effort or refuse to try to reach that goal.
First of all, you must understand that you really deserve success and abundance in your life. In addition, you must be willing to receive it. We are very good at giving help to others, but when it comes to us, we are not open to receiving it. We believe that it is better to give than to receive, and in a way, it is. But this does not mean that we have to close all possibilities, there are certain people, from whom we must learn to receive their help.
Always believe in your mind that you deserve to be a successful and happy person. Then accept abundance when it comes to you. Make the following statement every day and at all times "I accept the full abundance and happiness that the universe has for me, NOW".
Step by Step. If your goal is to buy a home, chances are you will have to meet smaller goals first. You will have to save to give the down payment on your future home. You may also have to finish paying off a loan or pay off debt to apply for a new loan. You have to establish what steps you have to follow to make that goal come true. Always keep your final goal in mind, but at the same time, you must take those previous steps, since they are a necessary requirement to materialize your dream.
Write a list of the steps you must take to guide you on the way forward. Then she starts working on them, one by one. Don't be overwhelmed or blinded by a single thought of the great goal. Those previous steps are always necessary.
Whatever happens go ahead with your goal. It does not matter the inconveniences that appear to you. It doesn't matter if your determination begins to fade. Success will come when you don't give up on it. Make a promise to yourself that you will continue to work toward your goal, no matter what happens. Write it down and put it somewhere where you can see it. Read your promise aloud every day.
Remind yourself that nothing will change unless you choose to change it. Load your mind with positive thoughts and move on. If you have problems, find a way to solve them. If you can't modify it to that obstacle, then change the focus and start working on another aspect of your goal. Often times, the obstacles will vanish if you give them enough time for the solution to emerge at the least expected moment. Let your energy be bright and leave all your doubts and fears behind. Feel inside that you can make everything you want manifest in your life.
