Explore the Gap Blocking Your Goals

There is a famous quote by Napoleon Hill that says

"What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."

If you consider that quote to be true, it’s safe to say that the ideas, goals and dreams you have can be achieve.

Most people know what they want and they are aware of their talents, skills and abilities. However, often times there is a big gap between knowing what they would like to achieve and actually getting to that achievement.

It's time to explore that gap. So, what's in your gap?

During a workshop I held recently, the participants shared many problems and obstacles that create the gap between where they are to where they want to be. While on the surface they may seem like problems and obstacles one can do nothing about, however, they can be overcome.

No matter what your gap consists of, the way to get through to your goal is to explore the gap and work towards resolving each problem one step at a time. You can overcome every block in the way.

Constantly remind yourself that you have the potential to succeed.

We all have different problems. While you are working to resolve your specific problem it’s important that you make sure to never lose sight of your goal no matter what is going on.

You must visualize your goal everyday! To help you visualize, write down your goals or dreams and review them twice daily. Make a vision board or look into some different visualization methods. The more you visualize your dreams and goals, not only will it help you to stay focused on the result you desire, you will see that gap get smaller and smaller until it is gone!

"Review your goals twice everyday in order to be focused on achieving them" – Les Brown

"Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make a mental blue print, and begin to build." -- Robert Collier

What’s Stopping You from Your Goal?

How is it going with achieving your goals? If you haven't been able to complete at least one of your goals, what's stopping you?  Why haven't you made that big sale or started to write that book? What is it that's standing in the way of you keeping the commitment you made to yourself?

I believe we all want to be happy and successful. We certainly all have the potential to be.  One thing that stops most of us from living the life of our dreams is the simple notion that we can't. We seem to have many reasons why we can't do something instead of entertaining thoughts that we can. Often times we let obstacles stop us for our goals, even if they are small. There is a quote by Noman Vincent Peale that says “Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.”

I have so much on my plate, however, my determination to help as many people as I can to succeed, helps me to work through any obstacles that come my way.  So, in my experience, most of the time it’s not about whether we can or cannot do something, its whether we will or will not do it. 

You are definitely capable of achieving the goals you set for yourself. You have to make the decision that you really want to achieve your goals.  If you are determined to accomplish your goals no matter what, you will!  How strong is your determination to succeed?  On the path to your desired level of success, there will be challenges.  However, the strength of your determination will allow you to keep the vision of your success in your mind and help you to keep taking necessary action in order to succeed.

“When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success. On the other hand, if you think, "This is never going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Then everything really will move in the direction of failure. ” – Daisaku Ikeda

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford 

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you.  If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up.  Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” – Michael Jordan

“Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets. ” – Unknown
