Do you realize that many years ago you had a goal as to how your life would play out? Finish school, have a good job, own a very big house, own a car, travel the world and live big.
You only realize as you go on that life does not take the path you create but gives you challenges, choices, hard times and sacrifices.
As a person you have a choice to make on how to live your life but often times due to the sacrifices and hard times life puts in our way, we give up on our goals lose focus and get distracted and end up with the phrase ‘anywhere life takes me’.
Guess what! Things can play out the way you planned but it takes grace, time and patience. It gets rough and discouraging sometimes but with hard work, focus and determination you can reach your goals.
There is a popular saying that “when life gives you lemons you make lemonades”. Here are some tips to build a right mindset and focus on your goals.
- KEEP THE BIG PICTURE: When you let go of your goals, your mind responds and you begin to live within the confines of your thought and this only makes things difficult. Work towards your goal and never limit yourself.
- DEVELOP GOOD IDEAS: People make so much money from their ideas. Some of us have good ideas but fail to attach importance to them. Add a touch of uniqueness to your ideas today. Where there are no funds propose the ideas to people who might be interested.
- NEVER GIVE UP:
- Giving up on your goal is like hiding your true self because giving up only keeps you at a spot. When you determine to do more and work towards it, you find that you have hidden potentials.
- BE PATIENT:
Patience is a virtue that most of us youths have thrown away in our quest to make it big quick. Before raw gold is discovered it takes lots of effort and even when it’s found it take another long process for it to be appreciated and sellable. Trust the process if you are working hard and working right.
- GET A SIDE HUSTLE: Riches is not made out of a monthly salary. With improvements come greater developments and higher needs. A side hustle gives you something to fall on after doing the needful. Now imagine you have divers side hustles no matter how small the income added to what you make from your major income.
- MAKE WISE INVESTMENTS:
Make wise investments when the opportunity presents itself.
What you plan for can come out the exact way, bigger or lesser because as the saying goes not everyone is born with a silver spoon. But hard work, consistency and grace can get you to any level if you do not limit yourself and result to stagnancy.
ADVICE:
Work hard, stay focused, do not limit yourself and act wisely. Work right and pray for grace.
