92% of people do not achieve their goals. That’s the majority of people in your city! This includes your family members and some of your closest friends. Here’s a question for you, do you want to be like them? Compromising your dream for a paycheque, letting go of what’s important to you because you feel stuck, and giving up hope of ever creating the kind of impact you always wanted? Do you want to be like everyone else? If you said “no” what are you going to do about it?
Did you know that if you start to build unshakable confidence in yourself YOU can help the world find a cure for cancer? Yes, YOU. If you start to take an interest in affairs around the world and actually really begin caring about others you could become apart of the solution to end human trafficking? You can build an orphanage and take homeless kids off the street. You can help to provide clean drinking water in areas like Cambodia, Haiti, and Africa. Yes! You, reading this blog post. YOU can create a whole new world for future generations if you start believing in yourself and working towards your goals now! There is no limit to the number of solutions you can create during your ONE well-lived lifespan.
Don’t think of your dreams and goals as just a simple wish you’ve always had and would like to come true. No, if you only see it that way, chances are you most likely won’t achieve them. Your goals require your commitment. It’s till death do you part. There is no getting out of it. It’s like Curtis Jackson (50 Cent, an entertainer) said: (you will either) “get rich or die tryin”. It’s all or nothing. You’re either going to achieve your goal or die trying, but you can’t be half committed.
When you start pursuing your dreams you’ll see that it’s worth your dedication because it’s connected to another vision that is much bigger than you imagined. I’ll give you an example of what I mean. When I started my business I knew that I wanted to help people transform their lives by pushing them to stop dreaming and start doing and equipping them to live their life with meaning. I didn’t know that my desire to help people would turn into a mission to create ophranages worldwide for kids without parents. I had absolutely no idea that my small desire to create change in my community of goal-getters would lead to an initiative to help save kids around the world!
Your dream might just be to run a daycare from home so that you can take care of your kids, but after you get started it might expand into wanting to support sick kids hospital because a lot of your daycare students are disabled and now you have more compassion for sick kids. This compassion can turn into you going back to school, becoming a doctor and then moving to a third world country to open your own hospital for sick kids. My point is, you don’t know where your goal is going to take you and that’s why it’s important for you to get started TODAY. Your dreams are connected to a much bigger vision than you think.
You don’t know what will happen after you step out in faith and start pursuing your goals. So, let go of fear, give up your excuses, and jump on this rollercoaster of uncertainty to fulfill your purpose! Pursuing your goals will cost you something, but it is worth every penny and the world will thank you later. Until next time, xoxo.
