The Psychology That Is Undermining Your Goals

Zack Greenfield • April 24, 2022

Do you ever feel like your goals, that the things that you really want to achieve, you're just not doing what you need to do to get there? And they seem to just always be out six months. It might be fitness might be business might be a personal thing. Well, stick with me on this video because I wanna share something with you that I think is gonna unlock any of that and get you closer to your goals. 

We all have goals and we have a vision of how our life we want our life to be. Right. And we sometimes have to look at ourselves and realize that we're not doing the things to get closer to our goals. We're not taking the steps to achieve our goals. And I, you know, over the years have picked up some stuff, this and work on this all the time. And here's what I've learned about it that I think is really important to understand when we have a vision, when we have a goal, when we have a picture in our mind of how things are going to be for us or how we want things to be for us, for our family, for our children. So that picture is out in front of us and it's this, you know, sort of perfect vision that we spool up in our minds. 

And one of the reasons that we procrastinate and we don't do the things that are actually gonna get us there, right? Is that the closer we get to those goals, the more imperfect they will become and the more distorted our vision of what they should be becomes. And so to some degree, moving towards our goals actually shifts them from imaginary to real, and that they are not nearly as pretty shiny and sparkly as we thought they were. And that's just something that we have to learn to live with. I see it all the time in the training that I do, I do a lot of sales training and I see the difference between the folks that are willing to just move forward with whatever collateral damage there might be. And those that don't make a move, but sit there accumulating information and ideas and all these things, because they are stuck being afraid of their own greatness in some respect, but also afraid to fracture the vision that they have of this, you know, future goal that they're, you know, imagining. 

So my advice on this, and one of the things we all have to get good at is getting comfortable with things, getting ugly, right? You've got to be comfortable with things, getting a little messy and realize that the goal and the vision that you have for yourself and your loved ones. And that may be, like I said, business, personal, you know, health and fitness could be any, anything like that. The road to get there is not a straight shot. It never is. And when you get there, it's gonna look different than what it, you thought it was gonna look like when you started. Right? You don't know what it looks like from the top of the mountain until you get to the top of the mountain, right? You only can imagine the view, but you don't really know until you do the climb. Okay. So my advice to you today, and my encouragement to you today is let things get ugly, but keep moving. Don't stand still when you're looking at your goals and where you want to be and what the vision that you have of your future is just keep moving along and stuff. I promise you is gonna happen. And it's gonna be great. Go ahead and hit the like button for me. And I can't wait to see you guys on the next video. Love to have you subscribe to the channel and we'll see you next time.
