Break it Down into Small Achievable Steps – (1734)

No Results – Low Morale

This happens a lot everywhere. People set goals or there are results that they want to achieve, and that is something good and exciting. However, as people begin to work towards their goals and the results that they want to see don’t appear, they lose morale. Then starts the usual tirade of things: “it doesn’t work”, “I’m no good, I’m useless”, “It is too hard, maybe I am not cut out for this.” etc. etc.

Be Smart – Set Small and Achievable Goals

Naturally, not seeing results leads to giving up or feeling low, defeated, depressed etc. We have to be smart and avoid this situation if we can.

Good to know that all of the steps above are
actually steps. So we have to keep taking steps.

Often this situation is bound to come about because we set goals that are too high and can only be achieved much later in the future, and of course we are not going to see results until much time passes.

What is intelligent if we can do it, is to break down the goal or result we want into much smaller steps or gaols and go about working to achieve them. As they are achievable we will maintain our morale high and renew our enthusiasm each time we complete one of these small goals.

Applies to the Work on Dissolving the Ego

This applies to dissolving an ego as well. Select for yourself achievable small goals in the dissolution of an ego. Chose a facet, a thought and go about achieving it. Don’t worry if it is too slow. As you begin to achieve these small goals you will get quicker and quicker at this kind of work. The main thing is that you are working towards a goal and your morale is more or less good with the normal dips.

Conclusion

Our own progress and nature follows a course of its own, very different most of the time to our mind’s projected course of progress. We just have to start to work at our achievable goals and observe how we progress and come into tune with that and then set goals and work more intensely in tune with the way we work and progress according to our own rhythm, nature, abilities and capacities.

A water fall, even the greatest waterfalls in nature all start with a drop of water.
