Defeat the difficulties. Don’t let difficulties defeat you
“Difficulties are an essential part of life” Says the Motivational Speaker Sriram Athri. “Many people find difficulties burdening and lose their morale getting their confidence broken completely. But difficulties are there to help us move forward in life” Adds the renowned inspirational Speaker of India. “Our lives would come to a standstill without difficulties as we would never find it important to improve ourselves or test our abilities. We would always be the same person we are today without moving forward
Taking difficulties with such a perspective will make challenges and difficulties easier to deal with and give you a positive outlook towards them. So whenever a difficult situation arises, always say ‘I am capable enough of fighting with it. I will defeat the difficulty and not let difficulty defeat me’
Overcoming Difficulties:
Overcoming difficulties is not that difficult as we think; just remember one rule ‘Nothing lasts forever’. Even though this may sound simple but may not be that easy to apply but it’s true. Whenever you are in a situation that seems unbearable, pause for some time, calm your mind and assure yourself that ‘this is just a phase of life, it shall pass.’ We often take difficulties so seriously that we willingly don’t want to find a way out as we think we are the victims and we ourselves pull us down.
Sometimes it is not possible to come out of difficult situation all by ourself. This is absolutely fine. Whenever you feel like it is getting more than you can handle, take help. Go to a friend, colleague, parent, relative, or if needed visit a professional. Many times the difficulty is huge only in our heads, taking an outside perspective gives us new perspective to our problems. We realize that what we were thinking to be very dreadful is not that worse in real.
Another way to defeat difficulties is to break them down. Ask yourself why is it a problem for you? We often look at the big picture and get scared but when you break them down and start overcoming one thing at a time than it’s not that difficult anymore. For example, if you have failed in science in your examination and you fear studying the subject. Try to find out what topics you don’t like in that subject. Take help of a friend, teacher or a professional tutor. Study one topic a day and Focus more on the topics that you think seem easier to cover up marks. By making a perfect study plan, you will be able to complete the syllabus at the right time.
Overcoming difficulties is surely difficult but it is an important part of living life and learning more about yourself, who you are, who you want to be, and what is your place in the world. Some difficulties get solved by finding a solution, some solve while taking help but some difficulties are there which cannot be solved and can only be adjusted to. Whatever type of difficulty you are facing; big or small, solvable or adjustable always move forward in life. Defeat the difficulties but don’t let difficulties defeat you.
Importance Of Setting Short Term Goals
What is a goal? The Wikipedia describes a goal as “an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision, plan and commit to achieving. People endeavour to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.”
To put it simply, ‘any plan you make for the future, no matter what it is, is a goal’
One problem about goals is, when we talk about goals, we generally think about things/targets that are complex and difficult to achieve; like losing weight, becoming a doctor, writer, singer etc. But we generally overlook the small achievements of life known as short-term goals, contends the top motivational speaker, Sriram Athri.
What are these short-term goals? Why are they necessary?
Short term goals are immediate goals that take less time to achieve. They can be independent in themselves (like, studying one chapter of science today) or be a part of a larger goal (study one chapter of science each day and complete the syllabus in a week). Goals can be as small as cleaning your wardrobe this weekend or making a new dish for dinner; or as big as starting your own business and planning to become a billionaire.
The problem is we often take long-term goals seriously while completely overlooking the short term ones. But many short-term goals together make one long-term goal possible, affirms the keynote speaker.
For example, if your long-term goal is to own a business and become a billionaire; to achieve this goal, you will have to set many short-term goals like acquiring a degree, getting proper training for the desired business, making contacts, setting up the base, starting your business, building a customer base etc etc. only after you achieve these short-term goals, you will be able to achieve your one long-term goal.
Long-term Goals give you a vision while short-term goals give you direction. Below are the few reasons why making short-term goals are beneficial
Better Focus
Sometimes looking at the big picture makes it seem impossible and compels to lose focus. Like, if your goal is to set up a business and make billions from it, the focus should not be on the billions but the focus should be on where to start, how to move ahead and what will lead you to make billions. Short term goals make it clear of what you are working on and how to go about it.
Eradicates Procrastination
A human mind develops fear very easily. When we set a huge long-term goal, the vastness of the goal creates fear in our minds and we keep on procrastinating it due to this fear. But when we create short-term goals, they seem more achievable as the fear factor is zero or very less in intensity.
Short term goals provide immediate feedback
One of the key benefits of setting short-term goals is immediate feedback. Imagine working on something for years and then realizing that it fails to work, very disappointing right?
Short term goals provide feedback in a vital manner. Many times a person thinks he is able to do a task but in reality, he is not. Short term goals provide a clear depiction of whether to move forward or to stop and shift focus in other direction.
One step at a time
Finally, the fundamental benefit of short-term goals is that they allow taking one step at a time. You must be familiar with the phrase ‘Little drops of water make the mighty ocean’ same is the scenario with achieving anything in life. Take one step and with persistence one day you will be able to move mountains.
