Your goals are worth achieving.
Tell me there’s one way to achieve a goal and I’ll tell you there are many other ways. If this post brings you to this website, allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Danicker, and I gave birth to two girls within five years. Both pregnancies were planned. I have decided to take a leap of faith to become a stay-at-home mother since my first daughter was at the age of 30 months. I had no financial backup plans and as a result, I relied heavily on my skill to trade currencies…
The desire I have within me to create a part to achieve my long-term goal stems from how deeply my faith is rooted in God.
For your information: I have no intention to push my belief on others through my posts, but when I have the opportunity, I will speak of where my faith lies because it is evident in my life. If you cannot resonate, that is ok, and maybe at this time in your life, this may not be the most appropriate space for you.
Take a different route but achieve the goal anyway.
Susan’s goal is not Jake’s goal. In the internet society we live in now, It is somewhat easy to get caught up in others goals while abandoning ours. Your goal could simply be being at home with your kids every day for the rest of your life, and baking cookies with them every two days while listening to bible stories. Or, it could be starting a small nut milk business and driving around your neighborhood selling nut milk to your neighbors because you learn about the negative impact dairy has on the human body.
When you have a main goal, there are going to be many routes you can take to get there. For example, having an on-site 9 to 5 job isn’t the only way to gain income, you can start a business, and you can even work a 9 to 5 from home. Some routes are more difficult when compared to other routes, but that should not make you give up on your goal.
Some people are going to give unsolicited advice, telling you what you should have done instead, or what you should be doing. They do not believe in making mistakes, and if everything is looking positive for them as opposed to your situation, they would even judge you harder because they think they are doing something right, (maybe they are), and they automatically think they are qualified to give you advice.
Do you know what makes them different from you?
Maybe they go with the flow, and you don’t… Maybe you are willing to take unconventional risks to achieve your goals.
The way you see life is different from how they see life. Your solicited advice might be beneficial to them because of the way you think and how you see life. But their advice might not be as beneficial for you. And of course, no one is better than the other person, we just approach life differently.
Most of our help might come from those same people around us because of course nothing happens by coincidence. So, it is also important to remain grateful and appreciative that God equipped us with those people who give us the help we need while we transition to the next stage of our life journey.
You can be very appreciative, like myself, but still take advice selectively. Some advice we intentionally seek from others, and some advice we just need to seek from God.
When you allow God to be your guide in life, your decisions will not make sense to others.
Especially when it’s the unconventional way.
Your goals are still worth achieving. They do not have to change, but what can change is the route you take to achieve that goal. Sometimes the route we take to achieve our goals, may not be the best route that fits our current situation. You might be giving something your all, but it’s not working out, at times it simply means we need to try a different route. You are not giving up on your goal, what you are giving up on is the route you were taking to get to your goal.
Other closed-minded people might think you are giving up, because they hear the term, “never give up..” and they do not fully comprehend what that means. They are the ones who are scared to give up, (fail), and try again.
God did not create you to have the same story as everyone you listen to. You are unique and your journey is your story. It is more so about your journey, and less about the actual goal.
You are blessed by God and your faith should only be rooted in God.
