3 Reasons You Are Not Progressing in Life

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

Introduction:

You are not alone if you feel like you are not progressing in life. If you speak to others who feel the same as you, you will find common reasons that progress feels stalled, despite your background, geographic location, sex, or race.

Let's discuss 3 reasons why you are not progressing in life!

1. You are waiting for the progress to magically happen on its own

If it were that easy, you wouldn't be reading this blog right? You are responsible for your success. Nothing in life is given to us, so you need to do the work on your part to reach your goals. Life is not a fairy tale and no one is coming to save you or accomplish your goals for you. Stop waiting and start executing a plan today.

2. You don't know what steps to take to achieve your goals

We sometimes freeze and don't move forward because we don't know how. This approach has not been helpful up until now, so you have to do something different. If you don't know what to do to reach a goal, Google it. Work out a plan and then execute it.

3. You feel discouraged by the people in your life

It true that the people you choose to allow in your life can contribute to your success or failure. This is true in relationships with family, friends, work colleagues or bosses, and romantic partners.

I once had a romantic partner discourage me from going back to school to complete my education. He said "if you are the type of person who needs validation from others by getting a degree then you should do it but you don't really have the time with work, taking care of our son, and the household".

As human beings, we are not always best positioned to offer the support that others need to accomplish their goals. Why? Because their goals may directly conflict with our goals. This doesn't mean that either person is "wrong" or "bad". If I were to go back to school, it is possible that my partner would have to take on more responsibility which was in direct conflict with his goals in life.

If any of this sounds familiar, you need a strategy and step by step plan to accomplish your goals despite people in your life with conflicting goals.

3. What now?

Now that you know why you are not progressing, you can simply take a different approach. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.
