Focus On Goals Not On Obstacles

Sometimes we are so focused on the obstacles to achieving our goals that there is no room left in our minds to focus on actually achieving those goals.

Think of a really important goal that you would like to achieve. How much of your mind is dedicated to the actual achievement of that goal? How much of your mind is focused on all the obstacles that could prevent you from achieving it. If you are too focused on the obstacles you may never get started on the journey towards achieving what you want most. If you focus on your destination and how great you will feel when you get there, you'll be much more motivated to start and continue the journey.

Try to catch yourself whenever you notice you're thinking negatively about your goal. Be vigilant for the times when your mind tries to seduce you into giving up by making you anxious about how difficult it will be.  At times like this say something to yourself that will make you snap out of that negative train of thought. Tell yourself if I keep going I'll get there. Tell yourself, a 1000-mile journey begins with a single step. Tell yourself, winners never quit, and quitters never win. You're persistent positive and optimistic focus on the achievement of your goal is one of the key ingredients that will help you achieve it.
