There is one very big goal I have. I've never put it on my goals list. In my head, that goal is something so big, impossible and scarry.
When I entered 2025 I started thinking about it again. Wouldn't it be nice if I put it on my goals list this year? But it didn't make the final list this year as well.
I thought that even if I put it on my goals list, I wouldn't even know where to start.
And now, you may say that I always advise you to do the research. I did the research. All of the research ideas that I got back came very expensive. But I will continue. I am not know for giving up easily. I won't give up.
When you set for yourself to achieve some bigger things, your mind will start convincing you right away that it's impossible. It will start with confusion, then procrastination and inaction until you give up, or maybe better said, never start.
I never started on a few things last year, so for this year I realized that I needed a coping mechanism. I needed an answer to the question how not to give up on my goals? I needed something to breakthrough to my dreams. My mind is protecting itself from anything new and uncomfortable, I understand that. But I don't want to live my life like that.
I want to do it as boldly as possible, and always with God's guidance.
I promised myself that this year I will keep repeating one specific sentence to myself every single time my brain gets scared. I will repeat - It's possible because I deserve it.
Can you feel this sentence?
I feel boldness in it. I feel softness in it.
I think I can use this "mantra" for my biggest goal too. Maybe I will not be able to do anything about it this year, but I can at least change my thinking about it.
Every single time I think about my "concrete jungle" now I will simply say "It's possible because I deserve it". I'm clueless about how right now, but it is possible, because I do deserve it.
What do you think about this? Do you maybe have a sentence you use?
Why not try this one.
I hope your new week goes really well. Happy Monday.
