Journey your way to greatness

I couldn’t understand my struggles until I learned this one thing

The Problem

I want to address something that haunts many of us in pursuing a goal. It can lead to procrastination, burnout, and even quitting. It is probably the single biggest reason for all of these things and I should know because I have struggled with them all.

So, what am I talking about?

Ok, we are all told to set goals, right? We can never get to where we want to go unless we know where that destination is. This is great advice, FANTASTIC advice.

We are told to decide the goal, visualise it, and even put up images to support it. Mood boards etc, etc.

Then what?

We start on our journey to achieve this goal and find it becomes all a little too much. We know the name of the city we want to travel to but we don’t know which way to set off in our car to get there. Guess what, we get lost, frustrated and without consulting a map or turning on the sat nav, we may never get there (quitting).

The Solution

I am suggesting the following, something that has helped me to become unstuck and be able to move forward time and time again.
