The Landmines Standing Between You and Your Goal…

Setting goals is the first step… achieving them is the second step. And it’s at this second step that most of us stumble. We stumble not because the goal is out of reach, but rather because of unexpected obstacles and setbacks that get in our way. It’s probably safe to say that every goal we set comes with an array of landmines. These landmines typically manifest as problems that we must figure out how to overcome. If we’re able to figure out how to successfully maneuver through these landmines, that’s when an improbable goal becomes a deep-rooted part of our reality. Let’s for a moment divert our attention to multi-million dollar lottery winners. Specifically, I want to bring to light those people who are far worse off today than they were before they won the lottery. These people lost everything, merely because they didn’t go through the typical struggles that self-made millionaires face. As a result, they weren’t able to hold onto their goal when it was clearly within their grasp.
