How did you feel about accomplishing your previous goals?

Try to use the analogy to building momentum, and making great strides in improvement, and growth, as Waves of the ocean.

It is difficult to make progress every day.
But it can be done.

It takes tremendous amounts of Self Discipline, and patience, delayed gratification, and tremendous Emotional Strength.

At 16 it's ok to not have that much of this stuff.


It's important to have your shrot term goals in mind, and your long term goals.
And keep your life in balance.
You need to pay attention to Balance and Harmony.

The Physical Realm

The Mental/emotional Realm

The Spirtiual Realm

In this core fundamnetial state of Well Being, and balance and harmony, you fit into your life the social aspects, and nurturing friendships and relationships.
You also find resources and oportuities to SHARE your resources, your wealth, and GIVE BACK to others.


This is where you get the emotional strength training, and self discipline training.

Every day is training.
Life is combat.
Life IS a forced March.


You may want to look into meditiation and trance states.





But remember, that you will see explosions of growth and then you may plateau.

You need to be strong emotionally to handle these plateaus...
That is where the self discipline really kicks in.

Remember, these growth spurts come in waves.
But if you get addicted to the waves 'highs', you feel the 'lows' a little too hard..
Be careful of that trap.

How did you feel about accomplishing your previous goals?

It went by so fast, that I couldn't even describe how I did it.
Things just got better and better, and before I knew it, i reached my goals.

I didn't realize what i was doing during until I looked back at the thread I made, and I was like : wow, I actually accomplished everything.

I didn't really have to go over my goals everyday.
I just basically tried harder in everything and became passionate about my life.
The goals accomplished themselves.

 

[Crazy Asian]

good goals, seems like they're mostly academic/athletic though. you don't have any goals related to improving your social life?

I've already accomplished most of my social goals.
More friends and girls would be nice, but on weekends, when get invited to hang out or something, I usually just stay home and do my own thing.

The weekdays are so intense for me that i just need time to do the things I enjoy by myself.

I mean, i do enjoy hanging out with my friends, but I love just relaxing by myself.

I think i get what your saying.
Right now would be a "low" for me cause I don't feel as good as before, and don't seem to be getting anywhere.
That's why I made this thread.

This is why I asked. Our goals give us a sense of accomplishement, and increase our self-worth, but don't make the mistake that your goals ARE your self-worth. Take some time to appreciate yourself for what you have accomplished. If you put TOO MUCH pressure on yourself, then you'll never appreciate what you're accomplishing, what you're going through. Sounds like you've got some good successes under your belt, so give yourself props. Accept and appreciate yourself for where you are in the journey, right now.

Short Term Goal:

Get a 30+ on ACT.

If I do, my parents will buy me a new violin. (we're kinda poor)
My last one was stolen.
You can't imagine how much I want this right now.

I truly do not give a f*ck about what else happens.
I have one month, and I'm going to study my ass off.
If my social life goes down the drain, then so be it.

Mon-Thurs : 1.5 hours of problems, .5 hours of speed reading.
Fri-Sun : I'll take an entire practice test + going over every problem that I got wrong.

I'm not going out of the house until April 12th.

On top of this,
i'll be practicing violin (my crappy rental) for .5 hours Mon- Thurs.

and Fri-Sun: 2-3 hours.

I't s a sh1t load plus the heavy amount of school work that I've accumulated.
I have 2 tests to study for, a sh1t load of make-up work and an Essay.

I know I can do it.:rockon:
