At the top of Acatenango Volcano after a 7 hours hike / En la cima del Volcán Acatenango depués de 7 horas de subida.
Let's be honest, I dare say that all of us on at least one occasion have had a goal where you eventually gave up. We don't have much perseverance, and it's easier for us to forget than to keep trying.
Seamos honestos, me atrevo a decir que todos en al menos una ocasión hemos tenido una meta en la que eventualmente te diste por vencido. No tenemos mucha perseverancia, y se nos es más fácil olvidar que seguir intentándolo.
Whether it's losing weight, starting a blog, cooking healthy, exercising, or going to dance classes; if you tried unsuccessfully, chances are you didn't make it past 2 weeks. This is because we set goals when we are at our most dissatisfied and lose motivation when we return to the old familiar, our comfort. We start that goal with the purpose of feeling that we have solved the problem; but in truth, the problem is still there.
Ya fuese bajar de peso, empezar un blog, cocinar saludable, hacer ejercicio o ir a clases de baile; si lo intentaste sin éxito, es muy probable que no hayas pasado de las 2 semanas en el intento. Esto se debe a que nos ponemos metas cuando estamos en nuestro punto máximo de insatisfacción y perdemos la motivación cuando regresamos a lo viejo conocido, nuestra comodidad. Iniciamos esa meta con el propósito de sentir que el problema lo hemos resuelto; pero en verdad, el problema sigue ahí.
In short, goals are conceived, executed and finally abandoned.
In order not to keep repeating the cycle, we must take into account the following:
We must be clear about what we really want, at the bottom, fill ourselves with courage to achieve it and put aside all distractions.
We must break the cycle of setting aside our goals, because we are looking for things that we do not really want.
En resumen, las metas son concebidas, ejecutadas y finalmente abandonadas.
Para no seguir repitiendo el ciclo, debemos tomar en cuenta lo siguiente:
Debemos tener claro lo que realmente queremos, en el fondo, llenarnos de coraje para alcanzarlo y dejar a un lado todas las distracciones.
Hay que romper con el ciclo de dejar a un lado nuestras metas, por cosas es que buscamos cosas que no queremos realmente.
We tend to set aside our dreams for things we don't really want; we have to break this cycle. We do it to look good for others or for fear that in others' perceptions we are part of the image they impose on us; but deep down, we don't want any of that.
Most of the time we tend to spend most of our energy on distractions instead of solving our problems.
Solemos dejar a un lado nuestro sueños por cosas que realmente no queremos; tenemos que romper con este ciclo. Lo hacemos por quedar bien con los demás o por miedo a que en las percepciones de los demás seamos parte de esa imagen que nos imponen; pero en el fondo, no queremos nada de eso.
La mayor parte del tiempo solemos gastar la mayor parte de nuestra energía en distracciones en vez de resolver nuestros problemas.
Achieving our dreams is about having daily commitment, being persistent and trusting the process, even when we don't have immediate results.
Lograr nuestros sueños es de tener compromiso diario, ser persistentes y de confiar en el proceso, aun cuando no tenemos resultados inmediatos.
Fear is what stops us from following our dreams, and as a result, we want more and more, deviating from our original goal. We have a panic about failure, about something that hasn't happened. For you to really break the cycle, your desire has to be greater than the problem. If you fail, which matters, you will try again, and this time you will not make the same mistake again. It doesn't matter what other people think or will think; you're in a better position, you're already trying, and no one can take that away from you; besides, if you keep going down that road, you're going to make it.
El miedo es lo que nos detiene a que sigamos nuestros sueños, y como resultado, queremos cada vez algo más, desviándonos de nuestra meta original. Le tenemos un pánico al fracaso, a algo que no ha pasado. Para que realmente rompas con el ciclo, tu deseo tiene que ser mayor que el problema. Si fracasas, que importa, lo intentarás otra vez, y esta vez no volverás a cometer el mismo error. Tampoco importa lo que piense o vaya a pensar la demás gente; tú estás en una mejor posición, ya lo estás intentando, y eso nadie te lo puede quitar; además, si sigues en ese camino, lo vas a lograr.
It takes courage and determination, of course. If you already know what you want most, why are you going to be left with the thought that it will never stop chasing you; you have to go for it, today!
So get to work, stop wasting your time on distractions.
*Se necesita de valentía y determinación, pues claro. Si ya sabes lo que más quieres, por qué vas a quedarte solamente con el pensamiento que nunca va dejar de perseguirte; tienes que ir por el, ¡hoy mismo! *
Así que manos a la obra, a dejar de estar desperdiciando tu tiempo en distracciones.
Very well said! Fear and setbacks often stop us from moving forward.
One goal of my wife and I is to become more fluent in speaking and reading Spanish. This post helped us to practice. Thank you!
Thank you for taking your time to let me know your thoughts. It's always a big inspiration to know that others are getting benefits of what I share.
I encourage you to keep practicing your Spanish, consistency is the key, when you look back in a few weeks all the little extra effort you made to achieve what you want will make you realize how easy it's when you just make it part of your daily routine.
