Are you having a battle to achieve your goals and dreams ?
. Why is it so hard to find the time to go after my dreams and goals?
. Why every-time I have the time to work on my goals I get distracted?
. Why am I inconsistent with my actions toward my goals but consistent with my job?
Why? why? why?
I don’t claim to know it all but I share my experience and things I learn from failing and succeeding from and I try to help anyone that is on the same path but needs that extra push. I advise you to take everything that I write about with a grocery store effect. Take what you want, leave what you don’t want. Let’s get into today topic:-
Bible quotes – john 10:10:10 the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy…
The devil will find ways to distract you from your goals, he don’t want you to achieve your god given goals because of jealousy .
The devil doesn’t like us humans, all because we have free will and he doesn’t. He is like a cousin or sibling that is jealous when life is going great for you and they know their life sucks but wants to pull you down with them or unhappy when you get a new car, or house because they didn’t get those things at that moment in their life, that is how the devil operates.
And worst yet when you tell someone your goals and dreams you are going after and they look for all the ways to keep you busy by going out with them , take vacation with them even if they have to pay for you, doing everything to keep you from working on your goals cause they know if you succeed they would look bad, even make you put yourself in debt so you have to work more hours to pay your debt, that’s how think about the devil is just roaming around trying to trick people from there real purpose cause he is jealous and know his days are numbered.
The last thing that the devil wants you to find is your God given purpose.
The enemy of Good is not wrong , the enemy of good is doing the right thing , that’s why you have a job the devil trick you to think you are doing the right thing to have a job and take care of your needs but you never seem to take action on your purpose, your dreams and goals are getting the leftover time you can find and that will lead to frustration and de motivate you form taking actions.
Your job is your skill, your work is your gift.
you don’t have to quit your job today if you can’t pursuit your purpose but you could start today with the small things. and I would say because you are reading this you are on track already so keep going.
If what you’re doing is not what you saw , what you doing is temporary.
if you saw yourself running a successful business and you are currently working in retail don’t give-up its only temporary and maybe there is something you have to learn while you there to benefit when you have your business.
whatever you saw yourself doing that’s your purpose, everything you do in between that is temporary but I would advice to don’t forget what you saw in your mind sight , I’m a big believer in writing things down and even god said to write the vision down and read it daily… Habakkuk 2:2 please read.
Finding time for my Goals And Dreams
Time is never the problem to work on your dreams and goals, it’s how you prioritize your time for the 24 hours you have been given. Think about your 24 hours as a checking account.
Everyday you get 24 hours deposited into your life account, now what you do with those 24 hours will make you or break you , this will determines whether you are getting close to your goals or farther from them. When i get lost and frustrated i always take a pen and paper and take inventory for my last 24 hours spent and my last 7 days that’s how i know where i’m heading for instance, if i spent 8 hours per day watching Netflix for the last 7 days i know right away i’m getting filling up on entertainments and you can do this just to see where your time is going and know who and what are stealing your time.
this chart is just a Example I advise you create your own and make as detail ….
| 24 hours deposit account | Hrs spent |
|---|---|
| Sleep | 7 |
| Job | 8 |
| Dreams & goals | 2 |
| Get Dress & Eat | 1 |
| Workout/ Exercise | 1 |
| Entertainment | 3 |
| Commute | 1 |
| Family | 1 |
| Total | 24 |
Little action will lead to great results , little will become greater. Take little action daily, key word daily, you don’t have to finish or complete a project that same day if it can’t make it happen , But starting it and applying the necessary action toward your task at hand is important. If you are writing a blog research topic , plan your shoot if you are doing video, if you are writing a book find a chapter to write about . take action. Putting together this blog post didn’t happen one day, it took a few days working on it. I heard a wonderful story a man was teaching a class and he pull out a $50 bill and ask who wants this $50? 99% of the class say I want it but one female walks right up to the teacher and collects the $50 bill. The lesson is the woman took action while everyone else sat and wished, so take action toward the goal you have and the things you want to accomplish , no one wishes themself to success, they always have to take action to become successful. Your daily task or action will be the measuring stick toward your success and failure.
The reason why your job wants you to go to work everyday is not just for you to produce for the company, it’s also for you to stay consistent with the task you perform daily.
They know that whatever the human body performs for a while will become muscle memory. That is why a job gives you two weeks of vacation and Not 2 months plus. They know and you know, if you stay away for too long you will forget some of the things you need to do for the company. You will be out of the loop as they say, you won’t be current with all that’s happening. I know some jobs have to be perform daily but that doesn’t mean you can’t do more on the job, instead of working 8 hours per day for 5 day you could do 4 day 10 hour per day , or 3 days at 13.33 hours per day or if you want to be a over achiever 20 hours per day for 2 days. Now! Can you see what’s happening to us and why we need to go after our goals and dreams more? We are only going to live once and we are only going to be here for a short amount of time so might as well take the action we need to build us and do it everyday do something rather than nothing.
Stay consistent with your action , build that momentum and keep taking action even if it’s uncomfortable all success is outside your comfort zone .
Persist Even When You Don’t Feel Like
Everyday will not be easy, everyday will not have the same things happening in it.
Some days as you take daily actions toward your dreams you will feel like nothing is happening, no result is showing up and you will want to quit and give up thinking it is too hard to keep going. Don’t be fooled by all this instant millionaire and get rich quick and everyone got their dreams and goals by waking up one day looking in the mirror and wishing for it and it becomes ,no!!! That didn’t happen. you want to build your life around your purpose that will give you the life you dream of and as a result you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Psalms 128:1-2
I’m not sure if you ever had this happen to you where you start something you were excited about, go very hard at it and then got distracted cause you didn’t see result right way and left the thing you were doing, example the GYM so many people start off the gym when the new year comes around but not many will stick to it to get the result they wanted.
Distraction is a real thing and it’s all around us ,you don’t have to go far looking for it. It’s right in your hand or in front of you right now ,that’s why when you are going after your goals and dreams you have to put aside all the distraction you can control ,meaning I understand life happens but there are things we have control over and there are somethings we have to get control of. Let me explain; you have control of 80% of the things around you, yes!!! Think about all the things you do in a day. How much time did you spend on social media? How much time have you spent watching movies & shows? How long did you spend shopping, bathing, eatting , sleeping ect… ? and the list goes on… but stop and think for a moment the things I’m spending the time on, Is it adding to what I want to accomplish? Or is it taken away ? and the other 20% that is not in your control you will have to learn how to work harder when you have these distraction around , like a brake up , A sickness , death etc …. but even though you are facing these you will have to stay focus on your purpose cause its a game the devil use to get you off track when a brake though is on the way.
