Life Goals
No two people are quite alike. Even identical twins have their personalities, desires and ambitions.
You are born original. We often try to be like others in work meetings, dressing even in opinions.
But it’s important to be open and be yourself about your unique ambition, personality traits, desires and strengths. Why chase someone else’s dream; what’s wrong with your own? We all have a unique set of goals, dreams, needs and ambitions but to get caught up in other people’s dreams about how to live is a mistake!
If you want inner peace and fulfilment accept:
Your flaws and imperfections.
Listen to your inner voice.
Be honest about what you truly wish for and care about.
Focus on your journey and your life goals.
Learn to say NO – stand firm on your values and principles.
Put your time and energy into chasing your aspirations/achievements.
We can never achieve goals that envy sets for us. Looking at your friends/others and wishing you had what they had is a waste of precious energy.
“Because we are all unique what makes another happy may do the opposite for you”.
-Marcus Buckingham.
