To start achieving your goals is always the most difficult part of anything.  As science puts it, it takes more energy to start the ball rolling than to keep it rolling.  Crafting the plan to achieve your goals is easy, but actually doing it to gear you towards achieving your goal is the difficult part.  It takes courage to bat in the motivation-momentum lock strategy to do the trick.  Take your first step courageously, out of your comfort zone and move forward.  This is more tedious and you sometimes make mistakes, however hard you try to avoid them.  The rule of thumb is stay motivated and key in the perfect timing.

Why the first step is always so difficult

It is normal for people to give up during this most difficult period and tell themselves they will try to do it again some other time.  And there are even those people who feel helpless after getting frustrated and therefore, resign to a mediocre way of life, forgetting to believe in themselves.  When this happens to you, do a positive self-talk.

Really, these pessimisms are not necessary.  Failure doesn’t mean you have to stop.  It is only telling you to get up, move on, try again, and do more.  Find that perfect momentum.  Success becomes sweeter for those who gained the right momentum; when after failing, instead of quitting, they immediately get up, empower their previous struggles, push hard, and harder, and harder until it becomes easier and easier already.  That is momentum.  And momentum combined with a strong sense of motivation is the true key to success.  Through this, achieving your goals becomes fun.

Never quit

So, never be a quitter.  Get motivation and momentum working for you.  Persist to succeed and take bigger risks than you have in the past.  Don’t major in baby steps because they will delay you in achieving your goals in life.  Why fly like a barnyard hen when you can always soar like an eagle? Always be on a motivated mode.  Couple it with the perfect timing and voila! You have achieved your goal.

Humans, by nature, occasionally feel the sudden and overwhelming gush of fear.  And this fear prevents us from doing something we want to do – from taking risks to achieving goals in life.  It hinders us from being successful at anything we lay our fingers on.  But don’t worry because it is a natural phenomenon that has been a common problem experienced by all, cutting across all ages, sexes, and cultures.  The good news is that you have the power to control it.  If you allow fear to take charge of your life, it can lock you out of society.  You will be like a turtle always hiding in its shell, scared of sticking its neck out into the world.  But you should understand that fear is merely a conditioned response and it can be defeated.  Here are three steps to overcome your fear.

1.  Re-think your expectations.  You experience fear when you dwell on negative expectations about things that concern you.  Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, focus on your strengths and capabilities and always do your best.  This will surely turn your negative expectations to positive ones!

2.  Don’t overemphasize your fears.  Look at your fear as something you must defeat in order for it to go away.  If you have fear of public speaking and your boss expects you to speak in front of an audience, you tend to worry that he might lose his respect for you if you do not deliver.  If you keep on thinking like this, chances are, you will not deliver your best.  An effective approach is to prepare yourself for the speech by practicing a lot instead of dwelling on negative “what-ifs.”

3.  Do what you fear most.  Conquer your fear by facing it head-on.  Remember, fear is merely a feeling.  It can only harm you if you let it take charge of your life for a long time.  If fear challenges you, choose to ignore it and it will go away for sure.  Remember, worrying about what you fear is like sitting in a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but will get you nowhere.
