Got something you want to do and it is not working out? Here are a few things to remember...
1. It may take longer than you thought at first. Days can turn into weeks or even months. This is not the end of the world. There will be setbacks along the way. If the goal is worthwhile, it will be even sweeter!
2. Remember this... "Adapt, Adjust, Improvise." Step back from the barrier and let your brain rest. There's a good chance your brain will come up with a solution sometime down the road, like on your way home from work or while doing laundry. It's funny how that works. Also, mull it over a little as you go to sleep or when you first wake up. The mind is in a different state where barriers can fall with ease.
3. No, others cannot solve your problems or achieve your goals all the time but they can sure be helpful from time to time. So socialize and brainstorm. What you give, you get. Be open to people who may NOT be like minded. It's harder to grow if you spend all of your time with people that think, act and look like you. Step out!
4. And last... You should get back at least what you put into the goal. This may not be what you thought in the beginning. It may look completely different from what you had in mind.
Just a few thoughts as we move into summer.
