When we’re working hard toward a goal we may be busy with a lot of details and complications. If things are moving along toward the finish line it’s easier to keep going than if the situation is continually complicated and difficult. When the answers are there and everything is going right we feel buoyed up and positive. But there will be times when no matter what we do we can’t move forward and after several frustrating misses we may decide we’ve had enough. There comes a point when we are done, and no matter what we wanted to accomplish our focus has changed and we are ready to let go. Everyone has limits to their energy and patience, and when we reach the end of those limits we may decide the goal is no longer worth pursuing. Of course we can change our lives any time we wish. There is no one right way to live and if we want to modify our course we can. There is no shame in changing our minds. If the goal isn’t important and can be left behind, we can walk away. However, if it’s something we absolutely want and don’t feel we’ll be happy until we achieve it, we don’t have to forsake it completely. Sometimes all we need is a break from the struggle. We can step away for a while, collect our thoughts, and rethink our plans to find a new way through. There really isn’t anything we can’t accomplish but some things don’t come easily and take considerable effort and determination to achieve. We have enough confidence and intelligence to accomplish anything. We can look at the situation objectively and decide how we want to proceed. Everything is there for us and we can determine what to do next.
We can keep our lives small and only do what is required to get by, keeping to ourselves and limiting our exposure to new things and ideas. Or we can extend ourselves and reach higher for something new and exciting. Whatever we want we can achieve but to achieve anything outside our normal experience will take effort and determination. Things may go wrong when we step out of our comfort zone and if we can’t tolerate anything but ease we may quickly return to what we know. If we want something new, we have to be willing to be uncomfortable while we learn it and stay the course until we make it ours.
Success doesn’t always come the first time we try. It takes practice to learn something new and there will likely be several failures before we get things right. The mechanics of riding a bicycle are easy – sit on the bike and pedal. But actually learning to ride one takes practice. The same is true when we try anything new. If we give up the first time we fall we’ll never master the skill. We have all the confidence we need to do anything we desire. We can take our time, plan our way forward, and find success.
Today if you’ve been working on something that continues to elude you and you are done dealing with it, take a break and think about what you really want to accomplish. If the goal is important look for another way to master it. All the answers are there for you. Try again. You will reach the end and find success.
