Not convinced

One of the big reasons your goal-attainment might struggle is this: you were never sufficiently convinced.

• Maybe you weren’t convinced by the goal [perhaps there were lingering whispers of ‘should’…]; or
• Perhaps you weren’t convinced by the process [the discomfort of taking that action never truly seemed worth it…]

You launched in – raring to go! But there was a tiny piece of you that wasn’t all in. And so the goal-striving fell over.

When it comes to goals, ambivalence is absolutely normal. But if you jump early, before that ambivalence is resolved, before you’re absolutely convinced by the goal and the process, you’ll probably find yourself in a goal-striving pickle.

So…take your time. Work it out. Play with the goal. Play with the process. Refine it all! Believe in it.

Then go.
