Episode Intro

In this episode, Anna shares important points to consider when trying to achieve our goals, including reasons why we don't achieve them, why we are sluggish in our efforts towards them, and particularly the role of clarity in our vision.

Key Takeaways:

❏ Four factors to consider when working with a goal: The first is that you often fear doing things that you truly want. It is important to admit that in your fears and effort to push certain things away, there are things that you want to attract into your life, and you have to go through the ones you do not want. Saying and accepting this releases much energy to face such challenges.

❏ Secondly, decide if you truly need to achieve your goals because if you are not doing anything towards them, it might be due to excuses you give that stop you from taking action. After dreaming, the next step is doing something about it. Fears, tension, uncertainty, and the possibility of mistakes are all normal obstacles on the path between your dreams and reality.

❏ Next, admit that you will look like a loser sometimes, especially when you have no idea about a particular topic. However, you will learn more in such a situation. You may also create a separate identity equipped with certain qualities to deal with very challenging situations. Anna does this and wears different hats of different personalities to achieve her goals.

❏    While going towards your goal, the first few steps can feel very clueless because you're still learning. You may have to face fear, disappointment, or other emotions that are parts of you. However, many people do not want to face all these parts, and as such they end up going in circles, doing nothing. You have to face these parts because they exist normally in all of us. Interestingly, the more you resist this, the more it chases you.

❏ The fourth part is Vision. You must encourage others by showing what's possible. You were given this gift to encourage others. If you don't show others what is possible, you will never feel like you're enough, and you will only take from the world without giving anything back. Focusing on what you get instead of what you can give others may be the reason things are not working out.

❏    If you currently feel like you are lacking in vision, know that this can happen to anyone. It might be that you are consuming too much of another person's vision. Focus on finding clarity for yourself by trusting that it will come. Stop consuming too much of other people's vision.

❏ The more you are yourself with your authentic vision, the more things around you will play out. Connect, encourage, be around people, and hug your fear.
