What's Ailing Our Goal Targets?

What's Ailing Our Goal Targets?

Honestly, many of us DON'T have problems with goal-setting.  From that goal-setting perspective, everything looks PICTURE PERFECT.  So, WHAT'S really going on?  What's Ailing Our Goal Targets? The thing is, everyone of us are literally caught in a CYCLE.  It's the time of the year again.  The CYCLE never gets old.  Let me guess.  You're looking back the past year, the trials and tribulations.  AGAIN❓❓❓

Then a new year looms in.  Then your optimism spikes, SO convinced that this 2024 will be different [and BETTER!@#$%?].  Again, thinking up a GOAL is the easy part.  Pinpointing the specifics of a GOAL, developing a plan of action and then following through with that plan of action and pushing past the inevitable obstacles that will arise is a different story altogether.  It would be easy to blame people's avoidance of PAIN when they fail in their GOALS📗📙📘

Most experts speak with one voice when they single out our human propensity to SHIFT FOCUS from reward to effort.  Thinking about the END RESULT and achieving the victory of reaching the GOAL is exciting.  And it is very common to see us [and that includes moi too!] start things out full of ENERGY and MOTIVATION at the beginning because our FOCUS is on the END RESULT💎💎💎

BUT here's the UNDOING.  Psychologists claim that there is a DISCONNECT with our brain's FOCUS before we start our GOALS and after we actually begin.  Before we start putting the work in, we're so FOCUSED on the REWARD.  Then, slowly BUT surely, we begin to FOCUS more on the effort it takes to get that REWARD.  Key is to redirect our FOCUS back to the REWARD✅✅✅

The next most common miss we offer suffer the brunt of is when GOALS are either NOT clearly defined or simply unrealistic.  Perhaps you want to be the next YouTube star and that's great as there's nothing wrong about it.  BUT how do you plan to make that happen unless it's just a wishy-washy fantasy.  So please let us revisit WHAT'S AILING OUR GOAL TARGETS❗❗❗
