There is one mistake that absolutely KILLS any hope you will ever achieve a goal. And it does not matter at all what that goal may be related to -?whether relationship, business, or personal.

If you have failed to achieve goals in the past, there’s a 100% probability this one mistake is at the very core of your failure! If you have given up half way to a goal, the same is true.

And if you have reached the point in your life where you have given up on goals -?this is at the core of your discouragement!

And the other sad fact it this: Unless faced head-on and resolved once and for all, it’s guaranteed this mistake will continue to destroy your goal efforts!

So what is this one goal-killing mistake?

The Single Greatest Goal-Killing Mistake. The single greatest goal-killing mistake is this: Setting a goal you don’t have an absolute passionate burning commitment to achieve.

What difference does a “passionate burning commitment?make? It makes ALL of the difference, because the other side of success is failure. And the truth is, we fail our way to success.

And without a burning passionate commitment, you WILL give up somewhere along the way when you hit a bump in the road. You might rationalize your decision to throw in the towel in any number of ways ?but quitting is quitting.

Why do we make this mistake?

Look back in your past for a moment. How many times have you decided to “shelf?a goal because you lost interest, got discouraged, or felt you were in over your head?

Here’s why that happens: We have been trained to pursue the goals others set for us ?and not to seek out our own passions. Think about that for a moment.

A full 99 percent of us were fully expected to achieve the goals our parents, society and educational system set out for us. Some of us gave in and tried to do so. Some of us rebelled and learned to fail instead. And some of us felt somehow inadequate because we did not have the natural interest and/or aptitude to do what we were expected to do.

Take the goal of prosperity, for example. What does prosperity mean to you? In modern western society we have been taught it means “to be rich financially.?But they many of us were raised hearing statements such as: “Money is the root of all evil. Or money does not grow on trees.? What kind of beliefs do such statements set into our minds? You are supposed to desire prosperity (say the gurus) ?but prosperity = money (another social assumption) ?and money is evil or impossible to attain (social- and family-taught belief system).

So then what's going to happen if you set a goal of becoming prosperous?

You are in conflict with a conditioned *belief* you should avoid being rich, or that it is not attainable.

Your belief erodes any attempt to make a passionate commitment to your goal of prosperity.

You end up giving up, or failing again and again.

Here’s what has happened ?your true goal was to fail, and you accomplished that goal quite well!

Have you set the right goals?

If you find you never seem to achieve your goals, the chances are you have some of those old goal-killing issues at work. But remember, its also probable you may be setting goals you do not really desire, or believe in for yourself.

This leads one place -- straight to failure. This is a major dead-end, and does nothing but erode your self confidence.

What’s the answer? You need to be sure that your goal really is YOUR goal. If you feel resistance, take a serious look at that. Ask yourself who you might be setting that goal for?

And ask yourself if you have a burning passion for that goal, and are willing to butt heads with as many so-called failures as necessary to achieve that goal. If your answer is no ?its time to revisit your goal setting exercise.

How to set a goal you WILL attain:

First, make sure it’s YOUR goal, and the not the goal of your family, your friends, your significant other ?or anyone else.

If you have anything less than a burning, all consuming passion for that goal ?forget it!

Get clear on exactly what your goal is ?be definite and concrete.

Get equally clear on exactly WHY you want to achieve your goal.

Make an all out commitment.

Be willing to pay the price.

Burn your bridges behind you!

Take consistent focused action.

Here’s a closing thought.

In terms of your willingness to *pay the price* for achieving your goal (financial or otherwise), the best and smartest choice you can make is to pick something that you either have a natural talent for ? or are naturally attracted to.

This makes it easier and more rewarding to do the work you’re going to have to do to achieve your goal.
