Are they your goals? Really?
Goals are important as you know. But one thing that may not have occurred to you, is that sometimes other people's goals and agenda's can get mixed up in ours. Someone may have wanted you to become a doctor, a dentist, a boilermaker....they said it so often that sooner or later you "agreed" that's what you wanted to do as well. But then you start to flunk classes, you are beligerent, you don't hand homework in on time...and your "spare" time is filled with endless hours of doing things you really wanted to do.
So if you are getting hung up on something, and really can't get started then it is worth asking yourself this one question. Is this "my" goal or someone elses? Because if they were yours you would have reasons to complete them wouldn't you !
