You have what it takes by Vishaleni Wondering why I'm wearing this? My father used to tell me that having a big vision is important as it allows us to view our goals and work towards achieving them. So, when I was younger, I thought that having a big vision equates to having big glasses. But as time passed, I realized that it was not the physical glasses that he was talking about. But the burning desire that you need to achieve your goals. With a show of hands how many of you believe that you can achieve your desired goals without facing any form of challenges along the way. Great! For those of you who did raise up your hand, I have some bad news for you. Wake up from your dreams because that's not gonna happen. The path to achieve your goals is never gonna be a bed of roses. So rather than hoping for an easy way out, I would strongly recommend you to prepare yourself mentally to face those challenges with resilience and confidence. let me share with you two key enablers that has helped me to overcome my personal challenges when achieving my goals. Most of the time, people regard ignoring others feedback as a negative attitude. However, it is extremely important to learn how to ignore the people who discourage you from achieving your goals and dragged you down. As much as it is important to listen to constructive feedback and improve. It is also important to disregard the negative comments given by naysayers. I know. I understand that it is not so simple to just walk away from these comments without being affected but remember somebody else's opinion does not have to become your reality So, the first enabler is to ignore the naysayers and keep moving forward towards the goals that you want to achieve. The second enabler is to master the fear of failure. Now, research has shown that many people don't even take actions towards their goals because of their fear of failure. What is fear? Fear is a false evidence of assumed reality. What does it mean? it's about expanding your energy unnecessarily and worrying about things that may not even happen. So, stop worrying about unnecessary things that might not even happen and focus on things that really matter. Now let's look at another perspective of failure. The difference between average people and achievers is their response to failure. Failure is part of your journey to its success because every single failure allows you to analyze your strategy and get better at it. If you are not experiencing failures then you are not taking enough actions towards your goals. So, remember, sometimes it takes a good fail to really know where you stand. Remember folks, the two key enablers that are crucial to face your adversities during the pursuit of your goals are number 1, ignore the naysayers. And number 2, master the fear of failure. Yeah, I know, that putting these key enablers into action is not gonna be easy. However, the idea is to consciously practice and improve along your journey towards achieving your goals. I might sound like a 40-year-old who has many life experiences about failures and achieving goals. But you are never too young to learn from other people's mistakes and I strongly believe that you can do it because you what it takes. Thank you.
