Is Your Lifetime Goal BIG Enough To Light A Fire Within You?

I realised the other day that I had achieved my lifetime goal.

.

That goal was set a long time ago and took me a long time to achieve.

.

I hadn’t even realised that I had achieved it.

.

But I had realised that I had stagnated.

.

I had stopped progressing.

.

I had stopped moving forward.

.

My lifetime goal was to be content, worry-free, and free from the pain of depression, anxiety and addiction.

.

I had been chasing that for a long time.

.

There were times that I never thought I would achieve it.

.

And then I did, and didn’t even realise.

.

I guess I was so wrapped up in the feeling of joy I was experiencing, I completely forgot that it had been a lifetime goal of mine.

.

And that is why I had stagnated.

.

I no longer had a long-term vision in place.

.

Yeah I had goals/dreams, but they were things that I wanted to achieve in 1 month to 1 year.

.

They were also financial, business or possession related.

.

And that was the problem.

.

They didn’t set me on fire.

.

In order for goals to light a fire in you, they have to be HUGE.

.

So big that deep down you’re thinking “is that really possible in a lifetime”.

.

When you have goals this BIG, you will never stagnate because they will take a lifetime to achieve.

.

And in order to not feel overwhelmed by a goal that big, all you need to think about is the next step.

.

What’s the one single next step that you need in order to move one step closer to that GIANT goal.

.

That’s all you need.

.

When you do this, you don’t feel overwhelmed.

.

You don’t procrastinate because of fear.

.

You don’t get paralysed because there are too many things to think about.

.

It keeps it simple.

.

And simple is always the best path to take.

.

Why overcomplicate when there is no need to.

.

Keep it simple and you avoid procrastination, overwhelm and paralysis.

.

Have you stagnated in life?

.

Maybe you have achieved a lifetime goal but have yet to realise it.
