Sometimes, if we are honest with ourselves, the goals that we have set for ourselves are not truly our own. Often, we are influenced by those closest to us, who either consciously or unconsciously share their own vision or expectations of who we can (or should) be. However, “Who are YOU? What are YOUR goals? And why do you want to achieve those goals?” are important questions that you need to ask yourself time and time again.

It is when you are clear about your goals that you are in a better position to manage the distractions of others: the naysayers, those who wish to undermine your efforts and feed you with self-doubt. When you know what want to achieve, and the ‘why’ behind it, you will be better able to stay true to yourself and keep your focus.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Am I prepared to stay true to myself?
• What goals do I want to accomplish?
• Why do I want to accomplish those goals?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
