Goals are for losers, winners focus on this...

Right from our childhood, we have been brainwashed and forced to believe that, 

"If you wanna do anything big, you have to dream big and set big goals" and yada yada yada.

And so many of us do set BIG goals:

"I wanna be the entrepreneur of the century"

"I wanna be the best piano player ever"

"I wanna be the next Federer"

Now, well, it might look like a noble task to do from the outside,

But here's the thing, 

Anybody and I mean any goddamn body can DREAM BIG.

Think about it, 

It hardly takes a minute to prop up a big ass dream

Or set an insanely ambitious goal. 

But how many of us are actually able to do anything for real?

Not many. 

The reason?
HABITS!

Come to think of it, 

Both the winners and the losers have the same goals,

It's their HABITS that differentiate one from the other.

And that's what most of us overlook.

Having good habits without a goal is much much better than having a great goal without any concrete habits.

You'd automatically become a great entrepreneur if you are constantly working on developing your product, understanding the market, and upgrading your services every day.

You'd automatically become a great piano player if you are learning about music, getting into the nitty-gritty details, and practicing playing the piano every day for 4hrs.

You'd automatically become a great tennis player if you are on the court every day, training for 4-5hr, and never breaking the chain no matter what.

Goals are only good to set a direction 

and to get your lazy ass out of the bed.

But that's just it. 

Goals bring with them a whole set of repercussions:

Your keep on postponing your happiness. 

So many of us play the "I will be happy when I achieve XYZ goal" game. 

It honestly sucks as it implies the fact that you are lacking something until you achieve your 'so-called' goal.

And guess what? 

Once you do achieve your goal, your happiness is short-lived,

And you instantly jump onto the next one.

The other thing is that goals narrow down your vision and make you a prey of the either-or mentality.

Either you win the championship or you lose and would be a failure.

Either you achieve your goal or you fail and curse yourself for the rest of your life.

That's plain stupid.

And some people, 

Once they achieve their goals, they stop playing the game altogether.

They feel clueless as to what they have to do next once they have finished the race they were running in.

This is why setting habits that aim towards constantly improving yourself takes away the prize.

You don't have to wait for a special occasion to be happy,

As every moment becomes a special occasion.

You have to fall in love with the process(habits) to achieve greatness in life. 

Life doesn't come with a finish line. 

Continuous and comprehensive advancement is the way to go.

5-Step Plan to Reverse Diabetes

Image
Step 1: Remove These Foods to Reverse Diabetes Naturally Certain foods negatively affect your blood sugar levels, cause inflammation and trigger immune responses. To reverse diabetes naturally, the first step is to remove these foods from your diet: Refined sugar: Refined sugar rapidly spikes blood glucose, and soda, fruit juice and other sugary beverages are the worst culprits.

Grains: Grains, especially gluten-containing grains like wheat, contain large amounts of carbohydrates that are broken down into sugar within only a few minutes of consumption. Gluten can cause intestinal inflammation, which affects hormones like...

The Dangers of Ego-Driven Spending: A Call for Reality Check

Image
In a world where status and outward appearances reign supreme, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of ego-driven spending. We live in a society where success is often measured by the size of our possessions and the prestige of our lifestyle. As a result, many of us find ourselves chasing after the latest trends and splurging on luxury items in a bid to keep up with the Joneses. But what if I told you that some of the wealthiest individuals in the world eschew ostentatious displays of wealth in favor of a more modest lifestyle? Take, for example, Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of all time. Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is known for his frugal habits, driving the same modest car and living in the same unassuming house for decades. Similarly, tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is often seen wearing a simple gray t-shirt and jeans, despite being worth billions of dollars. And then there's Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, who fam...
