Nothing fails like success.
- Gerald Nachman, California
Do you recall when it finally hits you that you are a victim of your own success? That you get washed over by a surf of realisation that you are indeed, as how are meant to be, talented and hardworking.
That your mere mediocre comes across as highly impressive to others? Even those that you are paying to learn a skill from?
That the harder the climb, the faster your ascent?
You know it's not confidence. It's probably faking it until you are making it.
Whatever works.
But I came across another article, which is an anti-thesis of goal-setting. Forget about sharing them with others to make it public enough so that you are committed. Just go down to the local grocery and make your way to the aisle that bottles up strong self-beliefs and prints in red on those chubby tabs that under no circumstances that you will set any goals in this way.
You just got too much that needs to be done and to do that gets the job done!
In other words, just get on with it. Forget about penning your goals down. Of course you need to answer clearly to yourself what it is that you want, what your desires are, what legacy you want to build, what sort of fantastic person you want to be... and so it goes.
The point is to identify that hunger, which resonates as loudly as when you think of water when you're down and dirty in a marathon. You just want it. It doesn't matter how dramatic or nonchalant your goal may seem but it is as convincing as such...
Like oxygen to a dying man.
