If setting your goals is important, don’t you
think achieving them should also be. You
probably must have realised that there is more
to achieving goal than setting them.
To set a goal is the easiest thing to do, but to
achieve these goals requires a lot of work and
courage. It is very demanding, stressful and
tasking.
After you have set your goals and you are set
for achieving them some questions would start
to arise. These questions include:
What if I fail?
What if I get rejected or mocked?
What if I perform below expectation?
What if I make mistakes I never should have
made?
What if…?
Until you have nothing more to ask
What you need to do
Though, the above questions have some
elements that draw your attention to them, they
keep on building a castle of fear in you. The
truth is, these questions need not be answered,
because the answers lie within you, but you
only fail to realise them. You need to realise
that you were not meant to fail, you are meant
to be accepted not rejected and your ability is
more than expectation rather than below it.
William Arthur once said: ‘if you can imagine it,
you can create it and if you can create it, you
can become it’. So, why not imagine who you
want to be so that you can become it.
Failure, rejection and mistakes are normal
Failure, rejection and mistakes are all normal
and at times are necessary for greater
achievements. There are great people who have
been rejected, who have failed and who
definitely at some point in time, made mistakes.
Famous figures like J.K Rowling, Albert Einstein
and Thomas Edison had different experience
before they became successful.
J.K Rowling, who is currently the richest author,
was the author of the famous book Harry Potter,
but everyone who has read her book will think it
was published on her first trial, but this wasn’t
the case because her book was rejected by 12
different publishers before it was later
published. The secret to her success is that:
she never gave up even after getting herself
rejected by 12 different publishers.
Thomas Edison, who was the inventor of the
light bulb, made his great shot after trying for
10,000 times but when Edison was asked the
question about his success, he said: ‘I have not
failed, but I have just discovered 10,000
different ways that won’t work’.
Here is what I meant
This is not a call for you to anticipate failure or
make mistake, it is a call to let you persist even
after you have been rejected or have failed and
to let you know that failure, rejection, mistakes
are all bound to happen and at times necessary
for human success. You just have to keep on
going even though the road is rough.
Remember, the road to success is not always
smooth.
