Achieving your vision doesnt mean youve reached the end of the line. It simply means that youve come to a new starting place.

Flip it!
A friend of mine recently introduced me to a new concept of motivation and a nice idea for a simple reminder in our everyday life.
The idea is the following: As soon as you set yourself a goal (preferably a daily one), you put a rubber band around your wrist, let’s say your left one. For example: Your goal is to make 50 pushups on a daily basis. Every morning you will put your rubber band on your left wrist and it stays there as long as you have not completed your 50 push-ups.
Once you have achieved your daily goal though, the rubber band switches wrists and sits on your right wrist for the rest of the day (Or you can take it off).
This is a great way of reminding you again and again and it also provides a good feeling of “having something achieved” as soon as you see the rubber on your “done”-side.
One additional tip: Use a hair tie instead of a common household rubber band as it is way more comfortable.

Have you ever dreamt of mowing the lawn?
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Beverly Sills
This might be very rational and materialistic, but there is a lot of truth in it.
No goal, no dream will be easy to achieve. I like the saying: ‘If it were easy, it were easy.‘
Nobody dreams of the easy stuff, because of the fact that it is easy. Have you ever dreamt of mowing the lawn? No? I thought so.
A goal is actually worth more the harder it becomes to achieve it. Therefore, when times get tough I like to think of it as an improvement. It means that I could be working on a lot of important tasks and meaningful goals.
But be careful: Not everything that is hard guarantees a desirable outcome, therefore you should avoid the mistake of working hard towards the wrong goals. Just keep in mind: There is no substitue for hard work when it comes to achieving your dreams.

Bullshit stories
The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.
Jordan Belfort
When it comes to achieving your goals, you could be your own worst enemy.
Other people can be as negative as they want, as long as you keep your head up. But the moment you stop believing in yourself and in your goals, you are doomed to fail.
Stop telling yourself reasons why you won’t achieve something. Stop fearing that you might actually get what you dream of.
Start working on your goals and never stop believing in your ability to achieve them.
You own mindset and your attitude towards success is way more important than any other circumstance. Circumnstances can be altered or created, but no one will go into your head and alter your state of mind. That is your task, so start today and work on a positive, solution-oriented mindest!

A nice deadline
To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.
