The Price For The Life You Want

Summary

• I believe in loving my goals enough to make tough choices, even if it means losing a friend.
• Achieving goals sometimes means giving up relationships, including a girlfriend or spouse, if necessary.
• I often ask myself if having someone in my life makes achieving my goals more or less likely.

How To Take Action

I would suggest starting by clearly defining your goals. Make sure they are specific, measurable, and truly meaningful to you. Write them down and keep them in a place where you see them every day.

A good way of evaluating your relationships is to ask yourself if the people around you are helping you achieve these goals. For each person, consider if their presence in your life makes achieving your goals more or less likely. If someone is actively supporting your goals, cherish that relationship. However, if someone is neutral or a negativity source, prioritize your goals. It might mean spending less time with them or emotionally distancing yourself.

It’s crucial to learn how to say no. Practice turning down invitations or activities that do not align with your goals. This will give you more time and energy to focus on what truly matters.

Lastly, check in with yourself regularly. Reflect on your relationships and activities to ensure they contribute positively to your goals. Adjust as needed, ensuring your decisions align with what you truly value.

Remember, prioritizing your goals might be tough at first, but it’s about committing to what really matters to you and being intentional about your growth.
