1. Do You Know What to Do When Your
Goal Setting Fails?
By Alex Work, YourGoalSetting.com
How do you react when you fail to reach your goal? Do you berate yourself;
accuse yourself of being unworthy and foolish? Or do you step back, re-evaluate,
and move on with a lesson learned under your belt?
It’s a painful reality that most people will never reach their goal. Some won’t
even take the time to sit down and write out what they want. Many will. But
where almost all of these people will fail is when something out-of-the-blue
happens to them and they lose belief in themselves and their ability to achieve
what they set out to do.
A very small percentage of people achieve their grandest ambitions. What
separates them from the rest is that when times are rough, things look to be at
their worst; they find a way to weather the storm and get through it.
If you decide to push past your goal setting failures you will—
1. Grow an Unstoppable Belief in Yourself. Those nagging doubts that you
have about your abilities will slowly wither away with each hurdle you
sprint over. You’ll notice after a while of doing this that roadblocks and
setbacks barely even cause a ripple in your determination.
2. You will Benefit Immensely of Knowing What Not to do Next Time. Trial-
and-error is a painful way to achieve something great, but it’s the path
most traveled. There is no exact path to success that all of us can follow;
there are merely common sign-posts in the road that most of us pass.
There is no cookie-cutter formula for success, simply our own path that
we each must take. If there were a painless way to achieve success, it
wouldn’t be nearly as sweet, and success itself would be much more
common. Accept that your journey will not be easy and you will be less
likely to abandon your plans the moment adversity hits.
3. Your Determination will give others the correct impression that you
embody perseverance and commitment. People gravitate towards
success, and when you demonstrate that you are not willing to allow
minor failures derail your entire battle plan, you begin to attract like-
minded people.

2. 4. Success Breeds Success. By overcoming your roadblocks, you are adding
on to your pile of “wins”. As this pile gets higher, it motivates you to
further and further heights. Don’t underestimate the motivational power
of achieving many small victories.
