Top 5 reasons why goals are not achieved

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”

Confucius

How does a person usually set a goal? A person thinks of something he/she wants to achieve and writes it down in the notebook. Most often this happens on Mondays or the New Year. But time passes and nothing happens. The goal exists on paper only. Why do many people fail to achieve what they have planned?

There are five main reasons for this:

1. This is not your goal

Tasks, the achievement of which will not change anything in life, hold no promise. It is believed that being fluent in a rare foreign language can be beneficial, but you already understand that such knowledge will be of no use to you. As a result, you delay the goal realization. Why bother making efforts if they are futile?

2. The goal is unclear

“Becoming happy,” “surprising the world,” “having good health” are vague formulations that do not involve any specific actions. Goals must be accurate, relevant to you, realistically achievable and with clearly defined deadlines. For example: “Contact at least ten potential customers within a week.”

3. This is not a goal, but a dream

All people dream. Without a dream, life becomes boring and predictable. Something should inspire and give meaning to life. Yet it is important for the dream to transform into a clear, concrete goal. Then you can take real steps to success: make plans, develop a strategy, set deadlines.

4. You underestimate your capabilities

An insecure person does not make efforts to achieve goals or does not set them at all. Being afraid of possible difficulties and failures, an individual deprives himself/herself of colors of life and the delight of victories. But everyone has many opportunities to fulfill potential and change lives for the better. It is only necessary to see such opportunities and seize them. Remember that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The key thing is to choose your path and dare to take the first step. If you believe in yourself and focus on the goal, you will succeed.

5. You choose the wrong means to achieve the goal

If a person can’t find the right path, correctly evaluate personal strengths, estimate resources, then the goal appears to be unattainable. It is important not only to come up with a plan in advance and strictly follow it. A person must also monitor progress and, if necessary, adjust ways to achieve the goal. It's like a lock to which you must find the right key. If one key does not fit, find another.
