You Can’t Fail – Stay Motivated to Reach Your Goals

Are you one of those people that believes if you don’t do something perfect the first time, you’ve failed?  Or do you hesitate to go after your goals in fear of failing or doing it wrong?  Well, get this: the only way you can fail is by giving up.  Don’t give up! 

I’ve met many people that struggle to stay motivated to reach their goals when they hit a bump in the road.  They think if they’ve tried something over and over again without success, that it simply won’t work, and they give up.  But do you realize there’s a million ways to accomplish your goal?  There’s not just one way!

Don’t Give up on Your Goals

So, stop throwing your hands up in the air, take pen to paper, and figure out a solution. There IS a solution!  You just have to be creative and refuse to give up.

Think about it… If you needed to find a way to get to a particular destination, and there was a roadblock, you wouldn’t throw your hands up in the air and say “Well, I tried” and head for home.  No.  You’d get out your GPS and find an alternate route.

Find a Solution

Take the same approach with your goals.  Instead of continually hitting the same roadblock over and over again, figure out another way to get there.  Don’t keep going back to the same thing you’ve been doing over and over again – the thing that doesn’t work.  Get out your pen and paper, and start coming up with other possible solutions. 

What can you give up in order to get what you want?  What relationship do you need to work on?  What tools or education do you need?  What do you need to get there?  Make a list, and start chipping away at possible solutions. 

You Can’t Fail – You Just Figure Out What Doesn’t Work

If the first four or five things on your list don’t work, move on to the next one.  You didn’t fail; you just eliminated some options and figured out what doesn’t work. And with each item you eliminate, you’ll be one step closer to figuring out what DOES work! 

Keep coming up with solutions.  Think outside the box; I guarantee there’s more you can do.  You CAN’T fail, because you won’t give up!  If you’re creative and make a plan, you can get wherever you need to go. You can do anything!
