History knows many examples when great people refused to achieve their goals on the eve of victory. Napoleon at Waterloo retreated at the moment of his advantage over the enemy, Hannibal turned in front of the very gates of Rome, although it would not have been difficult to take him. The Scots, who have fought for centuries for freedom from England, could one day calmly take a defeated London, but, as we know, Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom. And all these cases are examples of how people succumbed to the temptation to know the greatest defeat.
The higher the rock, the more you want to jump from it
The lessons of history are this: goals should be high, but not grandiose, since you yourself will defend against their realization. When performing a super task, the subconscious instinctively protects the psyche from overstrain. As a result, you may decide that it is easier to lose than to get involved in a big fight with minimal chances of getting out of it without loss.
Anyone who regularly plans is faced with the situation that, despite discipline and strict adherence to all established rules, the goal remains unattainable. The problem here is most often in the excessive desire to achieve the goal and in the hook for the result. Excessive desire is the desire to realize one's goals by hook or by crook, not noticing the warnings of the mind: "Stop and think." You cannot control the result, but the process is in your hands. Listen to what experience tells you, and do not challenge your own mind.
Don't get attached to the result
Over-focusing on a goal makes it difficult to think about what needs to be done here and now. As a result, the process and the result break away from each other, and the person leaves the desired path. To break away from the outcome, learn to use the law of non-involvement. He will help you understand what you are in control and what is not in your power. You will also learn to enjoy the process, not the result.
Money cannot be an end in itself
The American dream is to make a million dollars. The desire for money has made few people a millionaire. If someone reaches the mark of 1 million and sets the goal of 10 million, it is quite possible that he will achieve this, but life will turn into an endless exhausting race. There will be no pleasure in the process and no joy from the result, because further there is an even higher bar. Business is only a tool for making money, but the ultimate goal in business should coincide with your life goal. You may be dreaming about what to spend your money on. If the goal is correct, then the means for its implementation will be found.
Drop the criticality of the mind
Remember how shaky in childhood was the line between the real and the unreal, the possible and the impossible. Then it was easy to dream of princes and princesses, space flights and walks on the rainbow. Dream without thinking if it is possible or not. This will help you to believe in what now seems unattainable.
