While it may be a little early to officially start saying the new year, with the arrival of the new year we should probably all start preparing for our goals for the year ahead. For many people, this means giving yourself a clear vision of exactly where you want to go and the specific things that you want to accomplish.
For people who have an established goal and a solid plan for how to achieve it, it is almost always possible to set themselves up for success. With that said, I would strongly suggest that you wait until the end of the year to set yourself up for success. The reason is because by that time you’ll probably have forgotten a lot of it. For example, I’ve been known to forget to exercise during the previous year.
I would also like to add that people who are setting themselves up for success (and are working toward their dreams) are also extremely unlikely to have a lot of free time. I have actually been told by a couple of friends that they have jobs that would be too hard to get out of. I find this to be a bit of a myth because that is what I would have thought would be the case.
People who say they have jobs or are actively working toward their dreams are likely to have tons of free time, which can be a good thing. People who say they have jobs because they want to work and are not working towards their dreams are unlikely to have any free time.
I believe in the idea that if you are working towards a goal, you will almost always have more free time than the people who say they have jobs because they want to work and are not working towards their dreams.
For me, it doesn’t matter whether a job I have is a job I actually want. For me, the only things that matter are whether my goal is true and whether it is achievable.
In one of my classes, I asked the students to list their jobs. I asked them to name the things they considered “real” about themselves, and then I asked them to list the things they considered “work”. That’s because a lot of time, money, and energy goes into trying to look good, be successful, and to get ahead in life.
It’s important to note that a lot of people actually do do what they claim they can do. And what they can do is actually very simple, but it takes a lot of work. But the key point here is that there is no such thing as “free” in the grand scheme of things. If you want to be successful, you need to take action.
This is true. I get asked all the time, ‘how can I be successful?’ I tell people that there are no steps to it. That the only way to be successful is to do what you need to do.
And that’s right, you can’t be successful unless you are doing exactly what you claim you can do. You can’t be successful if you don’t make it your job to accomplish tasks you don’t have time for.
