16 REASONS YOU ARE NOT YET
WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

Do you sometimes wonder why you
are not successful yet ? Does it
disturb you that you are not yet where
you want to be by now? I am sure I’ve
got some answers for you.
Here are 16 reasons you are not yet
were you want to be.


YOU HAVEN’T REALLY DECIDED YET:
Deciding where you would rather be is
the first step to getting there. If you
cannot define where you want to be,
then it doesn’t matter if you remain
where you are. When you know where
you are going, it is easier to recognize
the opportunities that will take you
there.





YOU HAVE NO GOALS TO GET YOU
THERE: Goals are blue prints to your
desired future. Is not enough to know
where you will rather be; how to get
there is equally important too. Goals
help you stay on course and focus on
what matters. Without goals you are
likely going to drift and wander through
life and end up achieving little or
nothing.




YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: If
you do not believe you can, you will
never make any reasonable step
towards your goals. Many judge their
abilities base on the opinion of others.
Discover your strengths and take pride
in them. Whatever you chose to believe
about yourself affect your performance.




YOU HAVE ALLOWED FEAR TO
PARALYZE YOU: It could be fear of
failure, fear of perfection or any other
kind of fear. The smart way to deal
with you fears is to take a bold step
forward. When you just focus on them,
they seem to magnify beyond
proportion. However, when you face
your fears and doubts, new worlds will
open to you.




YOU ACT WITHOUT THINKING: Some
people often act on impulse the
moment an idea hits their mind
without thinking it through. Acting
without thinking easily leads to
disappointment and frustration.
Someone described the idea of acting
without thinking as shooting without
aiming. And that’s true. So next time
you want to act think it through first. If
it is worth it, give it your hardest hit.




YOU THINK WITHOUT ACTING: While
some act without thinking, others think
without acting. Both will give you the
same result – keeping you where you
are. You may be good in churning out
good ideas like an idea factory but if
you do not act on those ideas, it
makes no difference. Learn to work on
your ideas, refine them and act on
them.






YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO START
SMALL: Great things start small. I
believe you’ve heard that. Don’t wait to
start big. A journey of a thousand mile
begins with a step. Start with what you
have where you are and there is no
telling how far you can go. Learn to
start small and go on to make a big
difference.





YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE
PERFECT TIME: If you fall in this
category, here’s a lesson for you from
the wisest man that ever lived, “He
who observes the wind and waits for
all conditions to be favourable will not
sow, and he who regards the clouds
will not reap.” The truth is there is
practically no perfect time so if you
keep waiting for it. You are going to
wait till the end of your life. And guess
what? You still won’t find it!




YOU’VE NOT LEARNT WHAT YOU
NEED TO LEARN: Never run from what
you know you need to learn. To attain
a new level, you require a
corresponding knowledge. Often times
what keep us stagnant is ignorance.
When you know what you are
supposed to know, you will likely do
what you are supposed to do. Take
time identify and learn what you need
to learn and your world will change
rapidly.




YOU STILL LOVE YOUR COMFORT
ZONE: For whatever we desire in life
there is a certain risk and price to pay.
You must have heard that if you want
what you have never achieved before,
you have to do something you have
never done. That’s simply the way it
is. If you want it bad enough, step out
of your comfort zone and pay the
dues. Stop playing safe; you never can
tell how far you can go until you try.




YOU ARE A QUITTER: Many of us lack
patience. Learn not to quit too soon.
Give your dreams time to materialize.
Those who quit never knew how close
they were to achieving their dreams.
Every successful story I have heard
was dotted with pains, failures,
challenges etc. What if they had quit?
Once you are convinced it’s what you
want, hang on till it becomes a reality.





YOU ARE IMITATING SOMEONE ELSE:
It pays more to be YOU. Real success
favours originals; stop competing with
and imitating others. You may have
some weaknesses; we all do. Keep
working to be the best you can be.
Imitation is only limitation.




YOU ARE STILL HOLDING ON TO
YOUR PAST: We are likely not going to
make any meaningful step forward if
we still hold on to our pasts. Many are
good in using their memories more
than their imaginations. Your memory
favours your past, your imagination
favours your future. Holding on to past
hurts makes the future look dim and
cripples meaningful steps towards it.




YOU ARE STILL PLAYING THE BLAME
GAME: Many are good in blaming
situations, circumstances and people
for whatever goes wrong in their life.
Well, you are likely going to remain
where you are until you learn to take
responsibility for your life. Nobody else
determines what happens in your life
but you. The earlier you accept that the
better.



YOU LACK DISCIPLINE: Nothing
worthwhile is ever achieved without
discipline. You certainly lack discipline
if you allow irrelevant things to waste
your time, get you distracted and
derailed from your major aim. You
must learn to manage your time and
stay focused in achieving your goals.



TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENS TO
THEM ALL: You may have not been
guilty of all these points I mentioned
above. You’re sure you have followed
every success principle you know of
and it seems you are not there yet.
Well, all I can say is HOLD ON a bit
more! It is not over yet (I am trying
not to sound like a preacher). There’s
a season and time that makes it all
beautiful. Wait for it. It could just be
one more step, one more opportunity.
You never can tell. We all won’t get
there the same time and yours could
be next in line.
