Are you anticipating pursuing a new goal in life right now, something you have always wanted to accomplish but never attempted before? Have you experienced setting goals in the past and failing to achieve them. According to Mickey Rooney: “You always pass failure on your way to success.” Those failures are learning experiences and shed light on mapping your journey to success.
Here are five reasons why some goals are not always achieved:
- Fear of taking risks: These are part of every business, journey, employment, or activity. They may only differ to the degree they’d affect you, but nonetheless, risks will be present in anything we do. However, it is important that you know how to handle and manage them. It should not keep you from moving forward and achieving your goals.
- Too many goals: Do things one at a time. First choose the most important task that you need to do within a specific period of time. If you find it difficult to determine where to start or what priority to put first, find a consultant who can give you considerable advice. You may also buy some self-help books where you can learn tips and principles on how to manage your goal setting.
- Procrastination: You may be surprised that one day, you’d wake up and realize that you are already wandering rather than focusing on the steps that will lead you to your goal. If you have tasks that need to be done, do them right away. Seize the day!
- Failure to innovate: Today, there are many companies and corporations that shut down because their products are no longer relevant to their market. One of the main reasons for such was their failure to innovate. At some point, it is very crucial that you look for ways to advance your business, product or system. In this modern world, one of the ways to survive and to continue achieving your goals is your breakthrough of spontaneous ideas that will better your endeavor.
- Lack of motivation: In most cases, losing your motivation to continue with your goals is the only way to fail. You may still have lots of resources and other reasons to continue but once your drive to accomplish something is gone, that will be the start of your failure to achieve what you put your heart and enthusiasm into.
If you failed many times in the past, all you had to do was to keep getting up and moving forward. There’s no other way to achieve your goal than to pull yourself together and face head-on whatever challenge it brings.
Thomas Edison believed, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” If you can change the way you see failure, you gain the strength to keep running the race. Get a new definition of failure. Regard it as the price you pay for progress. If you can do that, you will put yourself in a much better position to fail forward. (Maxwell, John C.. Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success [pp. 21-22]. HarperCollins Leadership. Kindle Edition.)
