I have so many goals that I am ready to achieve, but somehow, I still have trouble finding the motivation to actually start them. Don't get me wrong, I've began these goals sometime before, but while on the road to reach them, I always stumble into a pothole and end up getting a flat tire. What I mean is that either something gets in the way or I just lose total motivation to keep it going. How can oneself find this inner motivation? Let me tell you one of my goals. I get intimidated by it because it's so large, it isn't something you can do overnight. I would like to move out of my parents' house. My Life Management professor gave the class some advice on reaching huge goals. You really gotta start small. Tackling the whole "moving out" thing all in one piece is way too overwhelming, am I right? Starting small like cutting down shopping to save more money can be something I can start with. But what I'm wondering is, how do I stay consistent? As bad as I want to move out, I love to eat out and shop. I always have this desire to buy something I see at the store that I like. It's such a bad habit and I don't know how to curb it.
I need help on saving money. Should I make a savings account? I'll sign up for direct deposit and schedule my money transfers to the account right when I get paid so that I don't even see the money that's being saved. That is what is so hard about getting paid salary. I want to save a lot, but if I do, I won't have enough money to last me the whole month! I will most likely take my own advice though, and open up a savings account.
Some goals (like learning to speak Chinese or earning a PhD in quantum mechanics) are only achievable through prolonged efforts over a long period of time. Other goals (like moving out of your parents' home or dying your hair orange) are achievable in one fell swoop.
ReplyDeleteIf your goal is to move out of your parents home, just do it. Find a place to live, sign a lease, put your stuff in boxes and move.
Your boyfriend will probably help you achieve this goal.
If he won't, find a new boyfriend.
I can understand your trepidation at taking advice from a reprobate named Reverend Hornibastard, but you'd be surprised how far you can go by believing in yourself.
I can assure you, you will astound yourself.
I hope that you are working well on your goals! Savings accounts do work if you can stay motivated and not spend it. It's hard but you can do it!
