When Do You Move Your 'GOAL POST' ?

 When Do You Move Your 'GOAL POST' ?

We all have our GOAL POST, right ?  Who does not anyways.  And there should be no debate either as to why we should have that GOAL POST. Because having that leads us to be focused every step of the way towards achieving that final GOAL POST.  But as it is in life, nothing is guaranteed.  In fact, a good 90% of us all do achieve our respective successes but not in the most ideal fashion but nevertheless a success enough when measured against the probability of achieving the ideal state.  But the fallacy we always hear around is that the GOAL POST is cast in stone and cannot be moved at all, not by any circumstances.

No Senores, while the GOAL POST may be your very covenant, there are convincing reasons for us to move that coveted GOAL POST.  When?  

WHEN we realize that moving means achieving WHEN we revisit the feasibility of achieving it  WHEN we do fall short and realize the reality WHEN we step back so we can go forward      WHEN we become pragmatic and less idealistic

What are the implications of moving GOAL POST? Firstly, call it whatever, it is a setback for you.  BUT hey that setback will not be like the monkey on your back forever.  If at all, that setback is just for now.  Won't you welcome a setback early in the game now instead of a setback at the FINISH LINE ?  Secondly, changing your GOAL POST means recognizing the constraints you realized along the way.  Accepting reality is the only way to go forward.

Beyond what we can control within our means, there are multifarious circumstances that can prevent us from achieving our goals.  And this is force majeure.  In fact, by changing one's GOAL POST, it is a concrete manifestation that you are damn focused towards achieving your goals whatever it takes as long as they are doable and realistic.  Bottom-line is, remove the outliers that can derail your road to success.

After all these mouthful of inputs, you would ask me, how can I translate all these words so it gets concretized.  First, it pays to have a mentor cum coach, someone who selflessly gives you his/her inputs, not self-motivated with his/her ulterior motives.  It pays that your mentor/coach is someone who puts your goals up front and way above any other variables in life.  Word of caution though.  To mentor you means that that someone is 'hardened enough' in his life because anything he shares with you should dovetail and map his previous success stories against your GOAL POST.   Just don't settle for any tom, dick and harry.❗❗❗
