Consider the people around you – your family members, relatives, friends and colleagues. You’ll probably notice that most of them have never really failed in their attempts to achieve big goals.
That is because most people do not even have a habit of attempting to achieve big goals.
So here is the surprise. Looking around us, we actually find very little evidence in the world that if a person regularly attempts big goals, his success rate will be low.
How many people do you personally know, who regularly pursue big goals, and regularly fail? Probably none. There – see my point?
What then is the secret to achieving big goals? If you ask around for people’s opinions, the most common answers will probably be things like “talent”, “luck”, “drive”, “determination”, “hard work”.
None of these answers are wrong. However, the first step to achieving a big goal is actually to have a big goal. And that is what 90% of people lack.
Ask yourself – currently, what are your five biggest goals? Go on, write them down on a piece of paper. Or list them in the comment section, if you like.
What – you don’t know what to write? You need to think about it for a few minutes? Aha, this shows that you didn’t even have any big goals. If you don’t instantly know what your biggest goals are, then you can’t honestly say that you have any big goals.
Back to my title. So how do you achieve greater success than you ever thought possible? Well, the first step is straightforward. You must think that greater success is possible.
Five biggest goals- that is pretty interesting. Just for the sake of boredom, I shall try to list them out.
1)Get a job.
Okay this is quite mundane and probably on the list of almost everyone, but I reallt wanna get into either the SAF,
or the ISD.
I bet you don't know what ISD is. Lol. Don't know why, I seem to have this unusual desire to work in the armed forces when almost everyone else wants to go in and get out asap. Okay maybe I'm weird.
2.Complete the Ironman
Swim 3.8km, bike 180.2km, run 42.195km, brag for the rest of your life.
What else is there left to be said?
3.Grow. Not just physically.
I wanna believe again in religion. I think one of the reasons I'm religion-insensitive is probably cos of my family, which I shall complain about in another post. But believing feels really good, it's kinda makes this world a better place, giving you Someone to believe and confide in. Such friends hardly come by these days.
4. Hm.
5. Hm.
I'm not very good at this, am I?
Well, the J1s have put together a new blog for Odac! It's pretty amazing.
Okay my attempt to make this blog interesting has failed. Miserably.
Cheers. @ 21:18
