| | | 92% OF PEOPLE NEVER ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS |
| | | The statistic that 92% of people never achieve their goals is usually quoted around New Year’s resolutions, but let’s be honest… Let’s stop pretending that this statistic is true only for gym memberships and diet plans, while it is mostly true for most people who frequently negotiate their dreams down to something safe enough to attempt. It is about that aspiring business owner who is even afraid to speak out loud, “I will build the next global giant of a brand.” It is about that professional who wanted to lead an industry in childhood but, growing up, settled for a secure job and a title that sounds impressive at family dinners.
When we ‘hesitate’ to imagine ourselves as a CEO of a multinational company, a billionaire, a changemaker, a judge on Shark Tank, the Prime Minister or President of a country, or anything and everything for that matter which is particularly important to us, let alone ‘strive’ to accomplish those big, audacious dreams, we fail because we often edit our own vision before the world even gets a chance to challenge them. And the majority of us lose to self-doubt and thus inaction, instead of competition.
The difference between the top 8% and the 92% (which is sometimes as high as 95%) is not destiny. It is rather the refusal to shrink. The real question is not whether you can achieve something extraordinary. The real question is whether you are willing and courageous enough to imagine and endure what it takes to attempt your big, audacious, extraordinary thing. Most of the world is short of imagination and courage, you see, and many would be unwilling to admit this… |

|
| | | Every extraordinary outcome in history was once imaginary and impractical. Every industry leader was once “overambitious”. Never use the guise of practicality as a burial ground for your biggest vision. |
|  Fear says, “Be realistic.” It also says, “Who do you think you are?” And most of us, most of the time, listen to it. It’s because, if you say you want to make it this big, people will laugh and your sanity will be questioned, not just by others, but even by you, yourself, sometimes. So, we often choose smaller goals that protect our ego and rename fear / the lack of courage for practicality. No doubt, it’s quite an unfortunate thing… |
