When you are focussed on achieving a goal you are more likely to achieve it when you are single-focussed and remain steadfast in taking whatever action you need in order to achieve it.

Sure, the universe will test you now and then to see if it’s something you really want in your life and you know when something has your name all over it – the thought of what you want to achieve just keeps returning and you know that life isn’t going to be as fulfilling for you if you don’t continue to take a step in that direction.

There are times when you self-sabotage and do things that are not on your focus list, this is when you need to consider whether your whole being is in alignment with whatever it is you wish to achieve.

Every step forward is exactly that, it’s a step forward in the direction you want to go. It doesn’t matter how long something takes, it matters that you get there. Rather than critizise yourself for not being where you want to be, take the time to reflect on what it is you are doing, or not doing, that is holding you back. Learn from your experiences.

Take the step to get help, support or whatever it is you need to achieve your goal and be held accountable. Be mindful that when you have a goal you need to take action and that you also need to schedule time into your diary so you can move forward gradually, but surely.

Even though your day may not involve working all day towards your goal you can dedicate a set amount of time each day, or each week so that you keep moving forward until your goal is completed. As Lao Tzu once said ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step’.
