One of the biggest mistakes clients (and me!) often make is in trying to go too far too fast. They want to be at the top of the mountain instantly. However, there is some distance to climb first. Until we master teleportation, we have to travel the distance between here and there. This applies to our goals too – whether it is business success we are seeking, money, weight loss, a new job, a new/better relationship.
You have to take step 1 then step 2 then step 3. Certainly you will find short cuts, but short cuts in my experience come when you are taking step 1, 2, 3…then you find a shortcut to step 10, 11, 12. And so on. If you are focusing on what the next step is, you won’t have time to be impatient and concerned that the end goal is ‘so far away’. And all of a sudden, you will be there.
These days we’re a bit obsessed with things being instant – instant weight loss, instant success. But most of the joy of achieving a goal is in the steps you took to get there, and who you become in that journey. Despite the rise of the ‘instant’ celebrity, most successful people have taken step after step after step to get where they are. And these successful people are no more special, no more unique than you are.
If they can do it, you can do it. Start with step 1, then take step 2, then step 3. And so on. Be aware of where exactly you are going, then ask yourself what is the next step? Again and again until you’re there. And you will get there – with a step by step approach.
