Biggest hurdle to achieve anything in life is our own fear
“Whether
you believe you can or believe you can't, you are right.” – Henry Ford
When we look to
achieve our goals we see two main hurdles:
1.
Failure
to define our goals.
2.
Our own
fear which stop us to take action.
People have three primary fears:
The
fear of success...
The fear of failure...
And the fear of the future
Clarity of Vision:
Defining our goals
is difficult because with each new day of our lives we change, grow, test
things out, make mistakes, and learn something new. So it makes sense that our
deepest desires seem unclear, or at least in a constant state of evolution.
Having a clear vision is absolutely necessary -- but it typically stirs up a
set of emotional roadblocks. These come at us in the form of fears both of
failing and of succeeding,
and in doubts about our own worthiness for success.
The fears and doubts make their presence felt in “negative” emotions. We fear
that we can't really get what we want, that we will fail because it has proved
too difficult in the past, or that we'll never figure out how to get where we
want to go.
Think and Take action
We always think to
do lot of things in life and keep thinking how to achieve them. If I ask some
one what is the biggest hurdle they face to achive a goal they will give
several reasons. Most of the time those reasons are not real but they are just
excuses not to take the action. You can not achieve your goal just by NOT doing
anything but if you take action then there are chances that you succeed.
Although no one can guarantee for success but to think big and work towards
them is the only way that you can get success one day.
If you ask some one
how to achive your goals people will talk more negative rather than positive.
We need to think positive if we really want to achieve our goal. For example if
we want to start a business and you ask for advise, people will say there are
so many people who started but after some time they have to close. No body will
talk that there were so many people who started and due to good reasons and
strategy they survived. We are not far behind from this thinking, we always
think more how not to do the things rather than how to do the things. The
biggest hurdle is to make yourself ready to take that challenge and work
towards them.
Our own
fear does not allow us to take action, this is common for every one. Successful
people try to overcome from their fear and take action while others just keep
thinking. The best thing about your fear is that they are yours. You can
identify them and can work to overcome. For that you need to take control of
yourself, your actions and your thoughts. In order to reach your goal, you need
to change the way you see things. When this shift is made, so many things can
be achieved.
Look
Fear as a positive:
All
our emotions are positive, even sadness and fear. They all serve a positive
purpose. They exist to help us move forward in life. They are your very best
friends, trying to call your attention to what is holding you back. To
overcome fear confidence and commitment is required. Choose some action that
you will take each week, and then take it! You need to create forward momentum
in your life and once that’s made you can move easily in the direction of your
goals.
Well said, our own fear is the major hurdle to achieve our goal.
ReplyDeleteI think the best strategy is break the final goal in small tasks with timeline and try to achieve them and monitor the success on regular basis.
