Hi,
This is Stefania and this is another wisdom bit.
It's about goals.
Smashing your goals for 2021 and beyond.
So I'll tell you a little story.
The other day I was in the supermarket looking for a certain item and I walked all around the shop looking for this item called smash and if you don't know smash is a kind of dehydrated potatoes.
You mix it with water and then you have lovely mashed potatoes.
Anyhow,
I went up and down every aisle and all around the back section but I couldn't find this product.
Then I went back down the very last aisle and I decided to ask the lady to help me and I asked her where is this item and she said it's right there and I looked up and I was standing right in front of it.
So there was the universe giving me a little life lesson that I didn't realize until sometime after I left the shop.
Often when we are working on a goal,
A closely held dream and we try this and we try that and nothing seems to be working really substantially.
We might have some small victories but nothing really big as far as what we have in our minds.
So we just give up and say it's not meant to be.
That's that.
But perhaps if we held on that bit longer,
If we switched or tweaked our plan just one more time,
We might have crossed the finish line and found our dream and achieved our goal or at least as much of it as would be needed to encourage us to just keep going.
So what was the lesson from this humble package of processed potatoes?
Don't give up.
Even when it looks like it's all over,
Keep going.
If you must,
Tweak the plan.
Get some specialized knowledge.
Take a course,
Read a book,
Ask for assistance from someone you trust.
Try a different angle but keep going.
Don't keep doing the same thing if it's not working or you just get the same results and more frustration.
But make adjustments.
Realign yourself and set your sights again.
Monitor your progress and go make the dream your reality or come as close to it as you can.
We can be so close to our goal but we just don't know it.
All we can see is that it's not there.
So just try giving it another shot.
Going a little further down that road and then that might just be the thing that was needed to reach the goal post.
Just that bit more persistence,
That bit more adjusting,
That bit more planning.
Try one more time.
Have you ever come so close to a goal and you thought it was all lost and you're ready to give up but something good happened that changed everything and you were back in the game again and on the way to a successful outcome.
How did you turn things around in your favor?
What kept you going?
When you think it's all lost,
It's no good,
Take your mind back to that time,
That time when you were close to a goal and you didn't give up and it worked out.
Think about it.
Think about what you did.
Think about if that is applicable to what's going on in your life now.
Don't give up.
Keep going and smash that goal.
And that's it for today's wisdom pit.
We'll be back again soon with another one.
Blessings to you.
Bye bye for now.
