How To Never Give Up On Your Goals

Maybe you’re at the point where you feel like giving up because you’re not achieving your goal fast enough.  You’re not where you want to be, you’re fed up, frustrated, and wondering if it’s ever going happen.  You start to question if you’re ever going to achieve your goal.  So, you give up.  Unfortunately, this is how your goal never gets achieved.  Here is how to keep going and never give up on your goals!

Set Realistic Expectations

When you’re not seeing results as fast as you think you should, then you start to worry.  You think that it’s not working.  You feel like failing if you’re not where you think you should be.  But, this is an unrealistic expectation.  You think success should happen much faster than it really does.  That’s why you need to set realistic expectations for yourself.  Don’t think that you’re going to achieve your goal overnight.  Set a realistic time frame and avoid getting down on yourself when it doesn’t happen as quickly as you’d like.  Success takes time.

Believe In Breakthroughs

A lot of the times you’re right on the brink of a breakthrough right before you feel like giving up.  If you would have just kept going, taking tiny steps, you would have eventually achieved your goal.  Stay on the course and watch for breakthroughs.  This is especially important when you start to doubt yourself and the likelihood of achieving your goal.  Keep believing in yourself and that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.  If you just keep at it, you will breakthrough and figure out a way to make it work in order to achieve your goal.

Stay Committed

Stay committed to your dream and goal.  Keep taking the next little steps towards achieving your goal.  Each little step builds and you’ll start to see momentum.  One day you’ll wake up and realize that you’ve done it!  You’ve achieved your goal!  It just may have taken you longer than you thought.  But, that’s okay because you stayed committed and you got to where you wanted to go.

Trust Your Heart

Lastly, trust that following your dreams and goals means that you’re on the right track.  Rumi says that your heart knows the way, follow it.  Your heart is not leading you astray.  You can do this.  Trust that your heart knows the way.  This dream and goal have been put on your heart for a reason.  That alone means that you have the capability to achieve it.  It wouldn’t be on your heart otherwise.

Sometimes it takes longer to achieve your goals.  In fact, most things do.  But, you can’t let that get you down.  You have to keep going.  The alternative is quit and say that you can’t do this.  This mentality doesn’t get you to where you want to be.  Instead, it prevents you from achieving your goal.  Don’t give up on your goals by first setting realistic expectations for yourself.  Realize that achieving your goal is not an overnight success story.  Stay committed and keep taking action because right when you feel like giving up, you might just be on the verge of a major breakthrough.  Lastly, trust that you are on the right path to achieve your goal.  When you do these things, you’ll be able to keep going and never give up on your goals.
