“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.”
Mark Twain, American writer
To achieve the goal, you need to take the first step. Oftentimes, it can be challenging. We want to be sure that we have made the right decision that the planned actions would definitely lead to the result. The fear of failure comes to the fore: “What if it doesn’t work out?” Doubts torment: “Will I have enough strength, time, resources?”
There is a solution
Do you have a goal? Does it seem real and attainable to you? You must understand whether it is your dream or whether it is imposed by others. If it is proposed by someone else, it most probably won’t resonate with you.
Give up the false goal and think about what you really want. The true goal inspires and gives energy. You will always have the strength and potential to start moving towards it.
After that, start practicing self-talk, as it is the best way to understand what to do next, figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Try to say “yes” to new phenomena and processes more often.
Be prepared for the subconscious mind to resist. You will start convincing yourself that you are not ready, that your time hasn’t come yet, so success can wait, and there is no reason to strain yourself. Get rid of such thoughts — they demotivate you to keep striving for victory.
The first steps to the dream must be taken immediately. Today, not tomorrow. If you want to start your business, then go ahead. Do you dream of making a career change? Give it a try. It’s never too late to start something new. Of course, before you take the first step, you must pre-evaluate all the risks and opportunities.
Walk and ye shall reach
After taking the first step towards the goal, you will know more than you knew before it. You will understand what needs to be done next more clearly. Your opportunities are, first of all, your knowledge, and you will constantly accumulate knowledge as you approach the goal.
From the standpoint of psychology, when moving from thoughts to actions, a person automatically programs himself/herself for success, sending a signal to the brain that the goal is really important. Inaction reduces the significance of the goal.
You have to understand that right now is the ideal time to start moving towards the goal, since you have the most valuable resource: time. Walk and ye shall reach. It’s okay if you do not see the entire path just yet. It is important to take the first step, followed by the second, third and so on.
How to get off the ground?
1. Never put off anything.
2. Carefully write down your actions in advance.
3. Make a plan and break tasks into subtasks.
4. Think outside the box, go beyond the generally accepted rules.
5. There is always a choice. Ask yourself: “What can I do in this situation? How should I act?”
