A story was told about a young boy who wants to reach the cookie tin in the kitchen cupboard but can't because it's way higher than him.
Now here is my illustration, If he tries to jump, he'll fall but if given enough time and the right nutrients, he will grow and will be tall enough to stretch out his hands and get the cookie tin without stress.
It's one week and a few days gone, and three days from now it will officially be the third week of 2022 and this is the only question that I have been thinking about, How far are my plans and goals.
While thinking about that, it struck me that it should not really be about the goals, it should be about the person you want to become or wish to become because it is only when we become the upgraded version of ourselves, will our goals come alive.
This is one thing we should realize that year after year, it shouldn't just be about our goals but it should be about our growth. Our goals need our growth and what we need is not a strategy to hit our goals, what we need is a strategy to grow ourselves.
No growth, no goal because goals need growth to materialize. When we grow better, our goals will fall in line.
The cookie tin didn't get lowered either did it get closer for the boy to be able to reach out to it but instead, the boy grew taller. He developed the capacity by eating enough nutrients and the right nutrients to grow so he can reach the cookie tin.
When aiming to achieve a goal, there are three things we must consider,
- The right nutrients.
- The right quantity of nutrients.
- The right quality of nutrients.
It takes one with discipline and consciousness to be able to obtain the nutrient for his or her growth to achieve goals to be able to have the above in the right proportion.
If investing is part of the goals this year, then one should know that having the right knowledge will go a long way to achieve such which includes, reading a lot of books that involve crypto and investment should be his or her priority, attending classes that have to do with such and having a mentor who is into investment and crypto will help in his or her growth.
Be ready and willing to take the right nutrients, the right quality, and the right quantity if we want to achieve our goals this year. We can not refuse to grow, we can not refuse to take risks, we can not have little or no knowledge about what our goals are, we can not sit down and fold our hands without learning new things to add to our book of knowledge and expect to accomplish or achieve goals.
It's not wrong to have goals, I mean any human should have goals, it could be yearly, monthly, weekly, or perhaps daily but what is more important is having strategies to grow to be able to achieve your goals.
Like ants following a sugar, goals follow growth. If we must hit higher targets this year, we must be ready to grow beyond what we did last year and that is one way to hit our goals.
For those of us which includes me who knows or perhaps can tell the pain that comes with realizing nothing changed about us in the past year, it is because our growth did not exceed our goals or our growth was none existence compared to our goals.
Strive for growth, not goals because goals can not be achieved without growth. Whatever it is that is our goal for this year, be ready to grow in that area and dimension to help you accomplish your goal.
