Giving up

How often over the years I have made a promise to myself or a declaration of something that I am going to do and somewhere during the process I lose focus, get discouraged, get tired of the discipline necessary and give up. Why? Was my motivation wrong? Did I set the goal too high? Was I really serious about what I wanted in the first place? What did I really hope to accomplish? All of these questions are valid. Most times in the past when I did not follow through with a goal I had not considered the cost at the beginning or asked myself these very important questions. and thus I ended up giving up, only to feel like a failure and feeling frustrated at yet another goal or dream not realized.

There is hope however, and there are strategic ways to make and keeping your goals. In the next few days and weeks I will be writing about goals, motivations, discipline, perseverance, counting the cost, and the power to change.
