How To Achieve Your Goals Faster…. Don’t Quit!

Hey,

It’s been a couple of days since I updated the MAGIC Hundred blog here, not because I haven’t had anything to say but because a lot of my time’s been taken up with trying to figure out how I and my family are getting home to the UK.

We were supposed to fly out yesterday but the volcanic ash over UK airspace has meant that we’ve had to stay put here in Phuket.

I know, I know… a real hardship, right? : )

But hey, my mind is that I’m supposed to be back at work now with work goals and work challenges filling my day so instead of just sitting around I put some action in place to move closer to achieving some of my financial goals. In this instance I spent most of the day making changes to several new websites that I’m going to launch real soon as well as working on my new book and writing copy for my London personal training studios advertising.

So I got a LOT done!

My point?

Well, I guess it’s this…

Sometimes your day doesn’t go to plan. Sometimes things get in the way that are just outside of your control.

I certainly couldn’t shift the ash clouds, right?

But look, just because you’re off the specific plan it NEVER means that your overall goals can’t be achieved. It just means that you have to find another way to get there than the one you had planned for yourself.

Too many people see something get in the way of their goals and instead of figuring a way over, under, through or around it, they quit. They give up. They say “it wasn’t meant to be”

But imagine what your life would be like if instead of quitting you just said to yourself “I need to find another way” and got up off the floor, dusted yourself off and kept moving toward your goals.

I can tell you from personal experience that it would change pretty much everything about your life and how you feel about yourself as you go through it.

No-one likes to feel a quitter yet many of people have gotten into the habit of quitting by default. Whenever something gets in the way they simply quit. And, at first, they get that queasy feeling in the pit of their stomach that tells them that something isn’t right. That quitting wasn’t the right thing to do.

Trouble is, often these people become serial quitters, quitting so many things that it’s more ‘normal’ to them to quit than it is to succeed. The real shame about this is that they start to identify themselves as quitters, take the actions (or not take them!) in life that quitters take and get the ‘rewards’ of quitting too, which is to say frustration, disappointment and unhappiness.

So don’t quit.

As corny as it sounds, when life throws lemons at you, make lemonade or when life throws a big volcanic dust cloud in the make…. volcano juice! : S

(I couldn’t think of anything to go with it) : )

Point being, ‘stuff’ happens all the time.

If you quit because ‘stuff’ makes your neat little plan look not so neat, not so simple, not so easy then you’ll never get anywhere, least of all where you REALLY want to get to in life.

So by all means have plans. Build GREAT plans and work them as closely as you can when you can. But don’t for one minute fall into the trap of thinking everything will or should fall into line with your plan. That creates massive frustration and causes you to quit.

Instead, know what the target is and spend your time developing multiple routes, ways and means to hit that target and I promise you, more often than not you’ll get more accomplished, achieve more success, experience more happiness and achieve it faster than ever.

Keep moving…

…And DON’T QUIT!
