Do you have goals that you want to achieve in your life? If you answer yes, this is the perfect article for you because you are about to discover why most people fail to achieve their goals. Once you knew the reason, you can use it to help you to accomplish any goal that you set in your life. So continue to read on to discover this powerful reason and principle behind it.
The number one reason most people fail to achieve what they want in their lives is that they do not have a strong reason behind what they want. They know what they want to achieve, but they do not know why they want to achieve it. When you do not know why, you will never have the drive and motivation to do it.
Think about it, why do you work hard on something? It is because of the reason. And if your reason is strong and emotional, it will motivate you a lot. Let me give you an example. Say you are a smoker and you cannot get rid of the smoking habit no matter what you do. And until one day, you are diagnosed with lung cancer because of heavy smoking. Now, do you think that you will stop this dangerous smoking habit no matter what?
The answer is obvious, when you have a strong and emotional reason, you will do it no matter how difficult it is. When you are diagnosed with lung cancer, it gives you the reason that you want to stay alive and you do not want to die at this age. This is why the reason behind your goals is important. They serve as the fuel to your motivation.
In addition, if your reason is not strong enough, you will procrastinate and never take action about it. You may feel motivated and take a lot of action in the beginning, but success is not an overnight process. You need to take consistent action, do you think you can stay that way and keep burning your motivation all the time? This is the main reason people procrastinate and never do anything about their goals, because they do not have a strong and burning reason for what they want.
Now you know what is the number one reason people fail to accomplish what they want in their lives. So ask yourself and review all the reasons behind your goals right now. Make sure you know exactly why you want to accomplish them and nothing can ever stop you.

Dan: Paradox, humour, and change.
Socrates: Paradox...
Dan: Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out.
Socrates: Humour...
Dan: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.
Socrates: Change...
Dan: Know that nothing stays the same.
Dan: The journey is what brings us happiness... not the destination
"There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no insurmountable barrier except our own inherent weakness of purpose."

The will to win is important. But the will to prepare is vital.
— Joe Paterno
I saw this quote somewhere else and thought it was good. I'm not American or into sport here in my own country, let alone in other countries, so didn't realise who I was quoting. Thanks for the comment, Richard. In no way do I support Joe, the man, but I have to leave the quote there because it is so true. As I said ... "And sometimes, in public speaking, (as, no doubt, in sport, we need to be reminded of the vital connection!!)"
If you're trying to bring wealth into your life - whether it's the material kind like money and possessions or the emotional kind like happiness and contentment - you're probably focusing on specific techniques like affirmations and visualizations. You're probably also keeping an eye out for new opportunities that can help you feel happier and become more successful.
That's all well and good, but have you ever thought about the other things you're doing? You know, the things that are counteracting your positive behavior and bringing negativity into your life.
If you want to live a life of abundance and prosperity, don't let yourself fall victim to these 3 things:
1. Telling yourself you don't have "enough".
Every time you grumble about the bills in the mail or pass up that outfit in the window because you don't have the money for it, you're really telling yourself you don't have enough. That way of thinking just breeds negativity and, soon enough, you'll find yourself drowning in it.
Instead, tell yourself you always have enough - whatever "enough" is. Whether it's money, time, or confidence, tell yourself (out loud if you have to) you've got plenty of what you need. That way, you'll be focused on the positives, instead of the negatives. It may take some real effort on your part, but it's well worth it.
2. Spending money you don't have.
A surefire way to get yourself into trouble is by spending money you don't have. It's not a way to get over the feeling that you don't have "enough". You will not be able to "trick" the world into thinking you're wealthy or successful. You'll simply wind up feeling worse.
Instead, start by being "wealthy" on the inside; it's really not that hard to accomplish. All you have to do is act like a wealthy person would - by feeling relaxed, content, blessed, and generous. Once you do that, you can work on being wealthy on the outside.
3. Not taking action.
When you're living in a negative mindset, you constantly feel defeated. If you feel like everything you do is futile, you won't bother doing ANYTHING. After all, it's not going to do any good, no matter how hard you try, right?!
This can be a dangerous cycle, but you can get yourself out of it. However, it will take some work. Pick something you're unhappy with - like your job - and make a conscious effort to change it. For example, start looking for other jobs, get your resume together, or talk to your friends about potential job opportunities they may know about. None of these actions are particularly earth-shattering, but they'll get you moving in the right direction. And, every time you take a small step, it becomes easier to take a big step.
You'll have to work hard to achieve physical and emotional prosperity. It's "easier" to be negative and let the world bring you down, but by thinking, feeling, and acting the right way, you can overcome that negativity and live a richer life!
