Do you have long-term projects with short-term expectations? If you do, that’s a sure path to disappointment and failure.
Lifestyle goals such as exercise and sensible diet have to become habits to work. A career shift such as a new position or learning how to make money at home also needs time and planning, and it does not happen overnight.
Your world has shifted. There’s voice mail, email, pagers, and faxes that have made a waiting period unsuitable and almost out of date. With info right away available, we think relations and goal achievement to be done the same. As you read this you know that it is irrational to expect, don’t you? We have been led by advertisers to accept that we merit immediate gratification, and that it’s swiftly and effortlessly available!
When you would like to train a puppy dog, you know that it’s going to take time and consistent beefing up. You’re prepared for that, as you desire your little puppy to behave in an OK way. Why then, are you so patient with the little dog and so hard on yourself?
When you plant seeds in the garden, you tend them, water them, hope for daylight and nurture them. Are you nurturing yourself?
The easiest way to move gently and effectively towards your goals is to take a fair approach. Break your long-term project goal into sub-goals. Break it into do-able, short-term pieces. Today prepare the soil ; tomorrow plant the seeds.
Each action you take and each step is satisfying because you know that it is making a contribution to the completion of your goal. You can’t rush mother nature with your garden, and the same is right for your goals.
This process is much more than “bloom where you are planted”, because when you are the gardener you choose what to plant and how to nurture it. Do the same for yourself, and grow yourself beautifully. Your goals will be accomplished in due time, and you won’t finish up up-tight and frazzled.
