Stay focused on your goals from "summary" of Do the Work! by Steven Pressfield
When we embark on a journey towards our goals, we are bound to encounter obstacles and distractions along the way. These obstacles can come in various forms - self-doubt, fear, resistance, external criticism, or simply the lure of immediate gratification. It is during these challenging moments that we must remind ourselves to stay focused on our goals. Staying focused on our goals requires discipline and determination. It means consistently showing up and putting in the work, even when we don't feel like it. It means saying no to distractions that pull us away from our path. It means pushing through the doubts and fears that threaten to derail us. One of the biggest challenges in staying focused on our goals is dealing with the resistance that inevitably arises when we are pursuing something meaningful. Resistance is the force that tries to keep us stagnant, that tells us we are not good enough or capable enough to achieve our dreams. It is the voice that whispers in our ear, trying to convince us to give up. To overcome resistance and stay focused on our goals, we must develop a strong sense of self-belief and conviction. We must trust in our abilities and have faith in our vision. We must remind ourselves of why we started on this journey in the first place and hold onto that sense of purpose. In moments of doubt or uncertainty, it can be helpful to revisit our goals and remind ourselves of the bigger picture. We can break down our goals into smaller, more manageable tasks and focus on one step at a time. By taking consistent action towards our goals, we build momentum and make progress, despite the challenges we may face.- Staying focused on our goals is about staying true to ourselves and our vision. It is about committing to the journey, no matter how difficult or daunting it may seem. As we push through the obstacles and distractions, we grow stronger and more resilient. And in the end, we emerge victorious, having achieved what we set out to accomplish.
