10 Reasons Why You are Not Achieving Your Goal

Everyday, you, and about everyone else on the planet are working towards achieving a goal to improve on your present situation. Our goals are as various as our differing needs and aspirations. Your goal may be to acquire expertise in a certain endeavour; it may be to lose weight or it may be to be the next odd guy in the Guiness Book of Records.

Whatever goal it is you have, you are not achieving it and that is the reason why you sought out this article out of the million web pages on the internet. Worried by your obesity, you had a state-of-the-art “gymnasium” installed in your house. In a desperate attempt to achieve better grades you embarked on a strenuous regime of cramming and coffee. But yet it is all not working. You either seem to lack that will power to do what is necessary or you seem to be working so hard at it, yet miraculously are not achieving any meaningful result.

This article would attempt to proffer solution for your problem and would raise crucial questions which you should endeavour to examine and answer. I have painted ten different reasons of why you are not achieving your goals. We are not going treat any problem in particular like: Why you are still overweight after ten years of fasting; Why you are still unable to make your O’levels after five resits or Why you are still unable to volunteer a 5-minute speech before a very small informal audience of five people. Maybe someday I would pick up an individual problem, but presently we would be exploring why people are not achieving their goals, whatever the goals may be. Alright then, let’s get started…

You Are in Love With Your Present Situation

Come to think of it! You do not actually want to change! You may make several solemn proclamations but deep within you, you are enjoying the convenience of your present situation! You’ve only made this goal because it is noble and it is the ideal but truth be told you are not ready for the disciplined lifestyle, the rigid routine and the sacrifices and abstentions that it all entails?

Many of our predicaments seem to have been born and are thriving on a pleasurable indulgence. If you are planning on losing weight (a very common worry nowadays), then your plight is probably being promoted by an indulgent and easy-going sedentary lifestyle that you can’t rid yourself off. Likewise if you wish to make better grades and are not achieving them then you probably still have a deep attachment to the carefree lifestyle and the “focus-less” drifting that so much characterises your present routine!
