I heard that every year you set your goals and resolutions but never commit to them! That's because you're probably lazy, but the thing is, being lazy does not always mean that you lack motivation; in fact, you don't have to be motivated 24/7 in order to achieve your desires.
Some of you are never going to get your dream life, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
It is going to be a tough love. So in this post, I want to highlight the importance of knowing what you want and deciding to make your dreams finally come true.
Let's be clear: everyone in this world has, at some point, gone through hard and bad circumstances.
But you know why some people live their ideal lives and actually succeed in making their dreams come true?
They took accountability for their current state. They were disciplined and determined enough to claim what they wanted their lives to look like.
They knew that their decisions would actually change their lives forever and allowed nothing to stand in their way.
If you were to be 100% honest and tell me why, after months or years of being "it's a new year, a new me, and a new era, let's write down some goals..." and not even A month passes, you fall out of that energy, 2024 is near, and you still have not achieved any goals yet. What would be your answer?
Procrastination! Laziness! Lack of persistence! Overthinking!
Whatever the case may be, what I do know for a fact is that it has been no one's fault but yours.
But hear me out. If I would be honest, it is so much easier to accept that my life now is a production of my own decisions, and I'm the only one who can make them wrong or right. Don't victimize yourself and try to blame everyone and everything but you, because trust me, you'll be stuck in that position forever.
You'll never make a better change in your life. No one will save you except yourself. Believe me, it's so amazing to know how powerful you are when you take responsibility and be the main character in your life because YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER IN YOUR STORY.
Let's begin with making the first step:
1: Refresh Start and New Beginning
Forget whatever you went through; totally rebuild yourself from zero. This is your rebirth, and you are giving yourself this new dream life.
I don't care if you "tried" to accomplish your dreams a thousand times before and perceived it as a failure; none of it matters because the person who allegedly failed their attempts to succeed and the person you are now are not the same.
2: KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT
This is going to be a hard pill to swallow, but believe me, I have been there and done that:
Eventually, you need to know what you want in life; you need to have an image of what you want to experience.
This goes for pretty much any goal you want to achieve.
Another important point I want to mention is the issue of making the wrong decision. No worries, you can, and you are most definitely allowed to make decisions.
that turn out to be the wrong ones for you. Sometimes, it's even necessary to do so. My point is that the moment you make the wrong choice and realize that this isn't what you want, even if you think you want that goal, You still have the right to unwant. Essentially, doing something you dislike for
Too long will make you feel like you are rotting from the inside, and you really don't need to endure that.
3: FEELING OF BEING LOST
You cannot yield to a goal you don't know about. You cannot have something you cannot properly label. You cannot arrive without distinction. You can, surely, have an idea of something you want and get it regardless, but if you're uncertain, if you keep wavering between a handful of options and find it hard to make a decision, you will remain as you are. Not knowing what you want for yourself, especially long-term, will be reflected in you in one way or another, and admittedly, it can be so tiring to know that you want to enter a new chapter in your life, not with standing, that you don't even know what it's going to look like.
4: MAKING A DECISION
To decide means to change? Making a decision implies making a change within yourself. It doesn't matter how big or small that decision is going to be. No matter how significant or unimportant the things are that you want for yourself, making a decision means declaring that you want something and that you are willing to move towards it.
5: MAKE AN EFFORT
You see how relevant it is to simply decide! So many people don't take their time to go with themselves and to actually get to know their deepest desires. So, what I want you to do is make up your mind. I don't really mind if it takes you a lot of time or if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Whatever you want, you can have it 100%, and all those feelings of irritation and fear are all just created by you. Let's act as if the outer world doesn't exist for a minute. As if there are no rules in the world that could get between you and your desires.
6: ENVISION YOUR BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF
I'm sure that you have an image of your best self; envision what she looks like, how she dresses, how she talks and thinks, and how she acts and expresses herself. Imagine every little detail that this version has.
Congratulations! That's you. From now on, that's you. Every second, you are HER; embody that character every day, and don't look back. Get out of your way because you're the only one stopping yourself.
MY FINAL WORDS
Trust me, everyone on this planet understands that there will be setbacks. We all know that there are going to be bad days, and we all understand that everyone has their own personal or mental issues. We get that life has obstacles and that not every day will be a win.
But you guys need to put in the effort and not give up! You guys need to stop letting your ego win! You guys need to stop overconsuming information and overthinking every decision.
You guys need to stay consistent & persist until you're living that life that you've always dreamt for.
Because, guess what? A day turns into a year pretty quickly.
Do you really want another year of not having your desired health, appearance, social relationships, or financial freedom?
Really!
I hope the answer is no, because that's a huge waste of time. For the sake of God, it is now or never; don't think about the past or the future. You have only now.
You are a beautiful soul, and you deserve everything good. please act like it.
