- People have no goals. They don't write them down every day. That act keeps it in front of us. Some say 1000% higher chance to hit them.
- We set goals that are not our own. What society thinks we can do or should do. Dreams are very different for different people.
- Choosing goals that are not worthwhile enough. Set big goals and dreams. If not they are not motivating. We need to have gigantic dreams to unleash our passion.
- Let others know what our goals are. Provides accountability and to set a good example.
- Lack of focus. Paper cup in an empty parking lot with the wind blowing it around. Memorize the goals to help remind and focus. Take action every single day even if it's only a little. Don't let other things draw our attention away.
- Not having a clear vision. Sometimes we need to give it time. It needs to be as detailed as possible. As spectaclular as possible. So our daily taskes are exciting because it accomplishes the big dream.
- Limiting beliefs. Beliefs that we can't do it and the vision will fail. What we believe about ourselves molds our life. We need to believe first. I am the type of person that deserves these things. Make little gains forward.
- Attitude. Many have not been encouraged. We need to realize we can. Others have done it I know I can do it. I'm going to try. If they can do this so can you. This is an optimistic attitude. Opt-you opt to do something, we choose to do it, and optemologist (sight)..so we are choosing to see in a better way. The winner of elections have been the most optimistic.
- Procrastination. The biggest country in the world. We'll cover that next time. Just kidding. It's human nature. We will experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Take action immediatly.
- Quit too soon. Luckily my referring affiliate did not give up on me 12 years ago. "Chicken Soup For The Soul" was rejected 150 times by publishers. Every successful person fights discouragement. We need to stay in our support system to help us keep fighting forward. "Wounds from a friend can be trusted".
- Failure to measure our progress. We need to track like crazy.

We will experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. How many of us just want a painless life. Sounds like a dream, but it is not real. It does not exist. When we embrace the pain of discipline, it becomes not a pain anymore. It becomes an ally, a friend, a partner, a support system. We will struggle to get disciplined, but once we attain it, it will carry us. It will sustain us through thick and thin. It makes us stronger, it gives us confidence, a confidence beyond anything we will ever know unless we are disciplined. The tougher the discipline, the deeper the confidence. That same discipline, once we have acquired it -and it is not something that is ever acquired, each day, each moment we have to prove it- sets us free. It gives us wings. It opens horizons of possibilities that were unseen without it. With discipline, we KNOW. We CAN. We KNOW that we CAN. That is so powerful. Many people will not ever get there. Because it is easier to be comfortable. I know. Because it is easier for me too. :) Thank you!
I will need to read these again. The concepts are simple, really, but challenging to implement. I'm not all together sure I understand it all. But I will! Thank you for the help.
