The Only Cause of Not Reaching Your Goals is You Image Source: FreeImages‍ Thinking about buying that new home or car but not quite there financially? Or can’t seem to find time to hit the gym consistently? These are two common roadblocks to most people’s big, financial, and fitness goals. But why? The only logical reason is your own inaction. Why? Because no one else is stopping you from achieving your goals. You are the only one who can help or hurt your financial and fitness goals. Why? Because no one else can make you spend more than you have, not go to the gym, or miss out on that awesome new house or car deal. You are the only cause of not reaching your financial and fitness goals because you are the only force that can stop you from doing so. You are the only cause of not reaching your financial and fitness goals. In order to change this, you first have to recognize that you are the cause of your own situation. If you think someone else is to blame, it makes it harder to recognize your own role in your goals’ failures. Instead, look at situations where you were the only cause of not reaching your goals. Maybe you’ve been trying to lose weight but keep making excuses for not going to the gym. You know you need to go to the gym to reach that goal, but you keep making excuses as to why you can’t go on any particular day. You are the only cause of not reaching the goal. You could have gone to the gym any day, but you chose not to. You are the cause of your own situation. You are the only cause of not reaching your financial and fitness goals. But you can change that. You can change that. The first step toward stopping being the cause of not reaching your goals is to recognize that you are the only cause of that situation. You need to recognize that you are the one who could have done something differently. If you can’t see your own role in the situation, it makes it harder to change it because you aren’t even aware of the problem. After you recognize the fact that you are the only cause of not reaching your goals, the next step is to change your own behavior. If you’ve been spending more money than you make, you need to change your own behavior. If you want to lose weight, you need to change your eating and exercise habits to make progress toward that goal. Commit to a plan with a clear deadline. To stop being the cause of not reaching your goals, you have to commit to a plan of action. This means you have to have a clear vision of what you want and a plan of what you need to do to get there. A clear vision of your financial and fitness goals is necessary to have any chance of success. Without knowing what you’re trying to achieve, it’s almost impossible to have any success. Once you have a clear vision of what you want, you need to commit to a plan of action. This means you have to have a plan of what you need to do to get there. Behind every success is a plan. Behind every failure is a person who didn’t have a plan. If you want to stop being the cause of not reaching your goals, you have to commit to a plan of action with a clear deadline. Ask for help from those who care about you. Finally, to stop being the cause of not reaching your own goals, you have to ask for help from those who care about you. There may be things you don’t know about reaching your financial or fitness goals. Or you might be missing key resources that you need to succeed. Sometimes, you just don’t know what you don’t know. In these situations, asking for help from someone who has been there and done that can be very helpful. Whether it’s hiring a financial advisor to help you reach your financial goals, or joining a gym to help you reach your fitness goals, other people can often be a huge help. When you ask for help from those who care about you, they are usually happy to help. An
