It\u2019s the end of the first month of the year. How are you doing on those goals? I\u2019m not saying you have to have \"self-sabotage-22-300x271\"<\/a>completed any of them, thirty-one days into the year. What I\u2019m asking is whether or not you\u2019ve made any progress towards your goals in the last month. If you\u2019ll already feel like you\u2019re losing stem in the pursuit of your goals, take the following into consideration:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You\u2019re letting someone else set the terms\n

    <\/strong>We can\u2019t let others define our success. Whether it\u2019s the opinion of friends and family or comparing yourselves to others, if you\u2019re not working towards something that you want for yourself<\/em>, staying motivated through set-backs and challenges as you work on your goals is going to be a challenge. You\u2019ve achieved your goal when you get to where you want to be, not where someone else thinks you should be.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. You have a goal, but no plan\n

      <\/strong>I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve all heard the quote a goal without a plan is just a dream and it\u2019s true. You wouldn\u2019t go on a road-trip to a destination without using at least a GPS, if not a map as your guide. How do you expect to reach your goal without an idea of where you need to go to get there?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n
      1. You lack true commitment\n

        <\/strong>I\u2019m a big fan of a T.D. Jakes video on commitment, you can watch it here<\/a>. In this video he talks about commitment being whatever it takes. He talks about making sacrifices and persisting through challenging times with the faith that everything is happening for a reason. If you\u2019re not willing to do whatever it takes, including releasing bad habits and keeping an open mind at all times, you\u2019ll always feel like you\u2019re spinning your wheels in mud.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. You\u2019re trying to do it all yourself\n

          <\/strong>It doesn\u2019t just take a village to raise a child. We need one to get to where we want to go. Give yourself permission to ask for help. It isn\u2019t a sign of weakness. Don\u2019t let your pride keep you from achieving your goals. Team work really does make the dream work!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n
          1. You don\u2019t really believe it\u2019s possible\n

            <\/strong>This is a big one. Your goal may be so big that it scares you, and that\u2019s okay. Big goals create big emotions and you have to use that to your advantage. Be mindful of your language \u2013 it\u2019s not if<\/em> it happens, but when<\/em> it happens. Don\u2019t hope<\/em> that it will happen, know <\/em>that it will. Find motivation and inspiration in knowing how achieving this goal is going to impact your life and as a result the lives of those around you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Obviously we\u2019re not sabotaging ourselves on purpose. Once you realize the things that you are unconsciously doing that are keeping you from achieving your goals, you can do something about it. What do you need to do to achieve success this year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
