Step 3 - To
Reach Goals: Bypass Resistance & Gather Assistance
To
reach goals, consider this illustration:
If you see roadblocks up ahead on a journey
you take a diversion. No one in their right mind would just drive
on and hit the obstacle head on just hoping they get through!
Bypass Resistance
When
you set a goal and if you are going to successfully reach goals,
you need to write down a list of potential
obstacles you may face.
Are there people who won't understand your
goal and discourage you?
Do physical limitations or unfavorable circumstances
stand in the way?
Then
list them, analyze
them and develop a strategy.
With a roadblock you can turn off before you get
there or go over, under and around.
Do the same with obstacles that may seem to make
it impossible for you to reach goals you have set.
Is there any way you can bypass the objects of
resistance you are likely to face?
Preparation
like this is invaluable.
If and when you reach the obstacle you know what
to do.
You have already made up a contingency plan
so you can move ahead and reach goals you have set!
Gather Assistance
At
the same time, it is important to identify the knowledge
you will need to acquire or the people
or organizations that could
give you essential help to reach goals before you.
Research the subject and educate yourself.
Become knowledgeable on what you are trying to achieve.
Do
you personally know people
who have accomplished what you are seeking?
Talk to them. Get input.
Ask:
Can you link up with other persons in that
field?
What
organizations exist with support
or information you could use?
The internet is almost a bottomless ocean of knowledge.
Through persistence you can find pretty well anything you need to
know.
So, to reach goals, bypass resistance and gather
assistance.
Including these two elements in your goal setting
can make the difference between a failed attempt at the target and
a bull's
eye!
