Sometimes goal achievement is not as smooth and easy as certain experts would have us believe. You might take all of the right action steps, visualize the outcome you want, recite dozens of affirmations, and basically do everything in your power to make it happen, but you still can’t seem to move forward.
When this happens, it’s more likely to be caused by something that’s happening inside of you, rather than outside. You might be taking all of the right steps and working hard to achieve your goal, but if your inner conviction and determination are not fueling your desire, you are probably just going through the motions as if you’re walking on a treadmill, expending a lot of energy but not getting anywhere.
There are two key inner qualities to consider when it comes to goal achievement: intentionality and belief.
To achieve your goals, you must be intentional about your daily habits. Do your daily habits help you get closer to your goals and support the life you say you want to have? Or do they actually lead you away from them? Remember, your focus determines your reality.
Next, ask yourself if you really believe that it’s possible for you to have this outcome you want? Do you believe that you deserve to have it? You must truly believe in what you’re doing and know your reason why you’re doing it for you to be able to make it a reality. And when you truly believe that you deserve to reach your dreams, you will be amazed at what you attract into your life.
You see, the universe falls in love with a stubborn heart. It loves the underdog and wants the underdog to win. When you refuse to give up, the universe will reveal new opportunities for you simply because you are out there and looking for them – which is more than what most people do.
