People often give up on their goals and dreams due to a lack of patience. The fact that we live in an instant gratification society doesn't help much either. We all tend to give up way too early because we don't immediately see the fruits of our labor fast enough.
Still others simply give up when they become overwhelmed and can't seem to meet up with the challenges along the road to success. It's often a shame when we don't go all the way. We could be just 3 feet away from gold and not know it, thus forfeiting our good fortune for someone else to reap.
Once more I will resort to the old "learning to swim" analogy. If we don't keep sticking our toe in the water but keep pulling it back because it's too cold, hot, wet, whatever the reasons we may find for ourselves; we will never be able to learn how to swim.
If you keep sticking your toe in the water, you will eventually get use to it and then be able to go in a little bit further, a little at a time until you become fully accustomed to the water. Remember, you start with the baby steps and continue to push yourself further along the way with some positive self talk.
A lot of times we allow ourselves to stop short of the gold or goals simply due to a lack of encouragement and a pat on our own backs. This is why personal coaches are so popular these days. Not only will they push and encourage us to go the distance but will also hold us accountable to our goals.
If your plans don't work out as you originally planned them, it's perfectly alright to try different approaches. The point is to not give up. With lots of small tries and different changes you may even discover new ways and ideas that will not only help you accomplish your goals and dreams but perhaps someone else too.
Even if things don't quite happen as you imagined it to be, you may surprise yourself If it turns better, but this can only be possible if you don't give up.
You too can follow your dream by taking those first few steps of putting your toe in the water and then keeping it there till your comfortable enough to go deeper in.
Whatever your endeavors are, start small. Take internet marketing for example, I would never suggest to someone to quit their job and dive right into it, especially if they have no idea what it's all about.
A better approach would be to try out your first blog. You might just find it rewarding both in terms of personal achievement and income making. You might find that your blog takes you somewhere totally different. Instead of writing for a living, maybe you'll end up doing training or educational videos to compliment your blogs.
The internet can take you in many directions, whether it be blogging or marketing among others. The point is, how will you know what could be the career that makes you happy if you don't try that first step?
Your goal might be just to be able to work from home, but you are not able to quite visualize just what that could be. You haven't figured out what all options are available to you just yet.
No one says you have to get your goals and dreams just right or perfect. The most important thing is to get them started. Start with the baby steps, sometimes it takes many small little steps to try out different things, to get experience in many fields to finally work out what makes you truly happy. Keep getting your feet wet and never give up on your goals.
