When people procrastinate over issues such as setting goals or taking steps to realise a life ambition it is often attributed to laziness . But the fact is that procrastination is a by-product of a discomfort in the mind or a sign that something is going on the wrong way.
What are the causes of procrastination? The real good news is not in the causes but in the solution. And that is,you can handle procrastination and get on with your life and be the best you are created to be.
There is a wisdom and ability of God for you to stop procrastinating and get on with your life .
In my post, analysis paralysis is dangerous to your goal plan , I talked on how excessive goal planning can be dangerous to your goal. It can be a frustrating crowd. In this post , I am going to ensure you have the right goals plan in place .
There is a saying that if you don’t know where you are going, you won’t know when you have arrived at your destination.
Failure mindset is like a parasite sucking the life giving sap of a tree and leaving it dry and dying . You can live a life of failure as well as a life of success. It is not a one day thing .
It is always easy to throw in the towel when it comes to being determined to achieve your life purpose .
The reasons are not far-fetched : there are always the “what if(s)”, “how to(s)”, “where to(s)” questions bombarding your mind. When such questions come rushing on me, I fortify myself on the inside with these living words:
Are you stuck in your analysis of your goal plan .This is one of the commonest freezing point encountered when embarking on your goal plan. You have to be careful about overly analyzing and detailing of your goal plan. This can work against your realizing your goals.When I started my business, every stage, every issue was taking a lot of my time. I had this idea that I should understand every detail before taking any action and that every stage must be perfected before attending to any other issue relating to my goal plan.
In part (1) of this series, I mentioned that goal setting is a process. It is a dynamic process. I don’t subscribe to static goal setting that you must stick to all way through as a robot, I believe in dynamism of the process. You actually live it and through God’s guidance, there is wisdom to keep on the right track as it pertains to your life purpose. Don’t get me wrong, this is not about excusing the lack of seriousness and commitment to see a goal through to success but about a prompting in your spirit to make relevant adjustments as the case may be that better positions you for your life purpose and ambitions. What you may enjoy or don’t mind doing may not give you satisfaction in life.This factor of goal setting is especially important when you are not yet very sure and can’t quite pinpoint anything as your life ambition. You may discover it as you move on with your life setting other goals that may not necessary be about your life purpose. You will discover the best of your strengths as you live your life determined to discover yourself and live for your life purpose and ambitions. Dynamism in goal setting creates a means for this discovery. Goal setting that is about your life ambition comes with the energy, strength, satisfaction and enthusiasm for it to survive the test of time. I can vividly remember when I started setting goals for my dream , my spirit was alive , joyful, expectant and satisfied that I was finally getting on with what I really wanted.
