Trust your own intuition and persist

August 23, 2010 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

When your passion for your goals doesn’t seem to be enough, here are some things to consider:
Old goals don’t match new priorities and/or values
We all know that people change.  Where you are in life determines what’s important to you.  It’s okay that you refocus your persistence on a new goal that is alignment with your new priorities or values.  Don’t be afraid to let go of old goals that don’t resonate with your new evolution, just be sure you’re letting go of them for the right reason.  In other words, be sure you’re not letting go of something you really love just because you’re fearful it will never happen.
 
When your persistence is really stubbornness
Be clear, persistence is not the same thing as stubbornness.  Are you being persistent because you really want it or are you refusing to let it go because you are somehow mistaking it for failure?  If you don’t want it, let it go – that’s not failure.

Making room for new goals
You may have several goals in life, and that’s the way it should be, but which ones are the most important to you?  It’s a good idea to first focus your persistence on the goals that carry the highest level of desire.  As you achieve your most desired goals, you can reprioritize the remaining goals, delete them, or add new goals as it suits you.  Scattering your focus among several goals will not allow you to apply persistence effectively.  Periodically evaluate your goals list and reprioritize or delete old goals to make way for the new ones.

The most important thing to remember about persistence is to trust your own intuition.  Don’t listen to the critics and silence the self-doubt.  If you have a feeling that something is going to work, even if everyone says it won’t, persist in your goal until you achieve it.  There is core genius in you – and that is the stuff that champions are born from.
“So if you’re tired of the same old story… oh, turn some pages.”
— Roll with the Changes, REO Speedwagon (1978)

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
