We often give up on our plans too soon. Consider this one question that will help you keep going when the going gets tough.

Do you have a big, audacious dream?

We must hold on to our dreams to make them happen! We often get fired up at the beginning and we start strong. Sometimes though, as time goes by, our efforts wind down and we give up, discouraged.

There could be a number of reasons why we didn’t achieve our goal: lack of preparation, lack of systems and plans, difficult circumstances, obstacles. But what if we did have a good plan, systems, motivation and discipline? Why did we quit?

Fight the perfect image

We are often told to visualize the desired outcome and our success and that can be useful. However, this tends to create a perfect image that we are eager to reach as soon as possible. We know there will be obstacles on the way there, but there is one we failed to prepare for: disappointment in the first results. The dreams of looking and feeling good, the dreams of being our own boss, the dreams of being recognised in a job, the dreams of meeting the right person, all gone because the first results didn’t live up to our expectations.
