We have all kinds of dreams and desires we want to accomplish. We may spend time planning for them and pondering our steps forward. When there is something we really want it may constantly encompass our thoughts. Our desire and determination to achieve the goal may be strong and we may work diligently to move forward. But sometimes things happen that stop us on our journey. For instance, someone offers us a big slice of chocolate cake when we’re trying to lose weight. Or there is a sale with incredible prices for things we desire when we’re trying to save money. No matter what we want to accomplish there will always be something to distract us and take us from our focus. If we go fishing and a big fish swallows our hook we may be excited about bringing it in and enjoying a feast. Landing a big fish often involves some wrestling and a tug of war. If we fail to set the hook, when we struggle to bring it in the fish may simply spit out the hook and all our effort will be for nothing. Setting the hook ensures it is secure and unmovable. The same thing is true for our plans and desires. We must establish them so completely in our minds they are unmovable. If our focus is solid and anchored, nothing will deter us. We can do anything and go anywhere but we must desire the goal enough to set the hook and stand firm. We have all the strength and wisdom to accomplish anything we desire. We can choose our way forward and keep true on the path until we reach our destination.
When we share our goals and dreams with others it’s great when they support us and cheer us on, but we might have times when others work against us. If we’re trying to do something they don’t like they may say and do things to discourage us. If they doubt our ability to succeed they may suggest reasons to quit or tell us we’ll never win. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and they may differ from ours. We can listen to their comments and if they don’t agree with our plans, we can let them go. We don’t need permission to design our own lives. We are in control of what we do and can choose anything we like.
No road is clear and paved from beginning to end. We may face detours, turns that take us in the wrong direction, and muddy areas where we get confused and unsure about the way forward. Fog may roll in that obscures our vision and makes it hard to find the next mile. If we are determined and patient, and take the time we need to plan each step, we will succeed. Every destination is there for us. There isn’t anything too difficult or challenging, and we can accomplish every goal we desire. We can keep our eyes focused on the road ahead and continue forward with confidence. Step by step we’ll move closer to the prize and find success.
Today, think about the goals you want to achieve. Make a plan and begin your journey forward. It doesn’t matter how far away they are or how long it may take. Set your hook and take the first step. You can do anything. All your dreams can come true. Begin today. The whole world is there for you and you may have it.
