ig goals require commitment and focus. You don\u2019t have time for the things that people with mediocre results spend their time on. There are things you have to be willing to give up. Fortunately, if you\u2019re truly committed, these things are easy to avoid.<\/p>\n

However, they can be great distractions if your commitment is lacking. Setting goals that excite you is tremendously helpful.<\/p>\n

Be prepared to give up a few things if you want to accomplish big goals:<\/h3>\n

1. Worrying about things you can\u2019t control.<\/strong> Ask yourself what you\u2019re accomplishing by worrying about things outside of your control. You\u2019ll find that worrying never solved anything.<\/p>\n

2. Worrying about the opinions of others.<\/strong> People think about you less than you imagine. When you\u2019re trying to accomplish something challenging, you just don\u2019t have time to worry about what others think.<\/p>\n

3. Wasting time in general.<\/strong> Big goals require time, and you simply don\u2019t have time to waste on trivial things. Keep a record of how you spend your time for one day. You might not be spending your time the way you think you are!<\/p>\n

4. Surfing the internet.<\/strong> This is a huge timewaster. The time seems to fly by while you\u2019re watching a parakeet play the organ.<\/p>\n

5. TV.<\/strong> Many highly successful people don\u2019t even own a TV.<\/p>\n

6. Playing on your smartphone.<\/strong> Spend one day without looking at your smartphone unless someone calls you. Notice how much time everyone around you spends looking at their phone.<\/p>\n

7. Interacting with the noise of the world.<\/strong> This goes back to worrying about things you can\u2019t control and wasting time. You can argue about Donald Trump all you like, but you\u2019re not going to change anyone\u2019s mind, and no one is going to change yours. Keep the majority of your attention on the things that matter in your life, like your relationships and your big goals.<\/p>\n

8. Doing the easy thing.<\/strong> The easy thing is rarely the effective thing. When you\u2019re hunting a big goal, doing the effective thing is critical.<\/p>\n

9. Worrying about failure.<\/strong> You\u2019re guaranteed to fail in the short-term, so don\u2019t worry about it. Just learn, adjust your approach, and continue forward.<\/p>\n

10. The opinions of those you wouldn\u2019t switch places with.<\/strong> For example, if you want to be worth a billion dollars, it would be wise to listen to the ideas of other billionaires. That probably doesn\u2019t include your mom, Uncle Jim, your best friend from high school, or your neighbor, Billy.<\/p>\n

11. Trying to be liked by everyone.<\/strong> It\u2019s never going to happen. Again, avoid worrying about things you can\u2019t control. You could be the most perfect pianist in the world, but there are some people that hate the piano. That\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

12. Procrastination.<\/strong> There\u2019s no time to wait. Putting things off suggests that there\u2019s another issue lurking beneath the surface. Identify and rectify it.<\/p>\n

13. Allowing your emotions to guide you when logic should prevail.<\/strong> We tend to make choices that serve to decrease our discomfort. Also, we often make decisions in the heat of the moment. Use your knowledge and experience to make choices that support you and your goals, instead.<\/p>\n

14. Repeating mistakes.<\/strong> Repeating mistakes is a waste of time. It\u2019s like trying to open a locked door over and over again.<\/p>\n

15. Seeking pleasure versus seeking progress.<\/strong> Seeking pleasure doesn\u2019t lead to a good place in the long term. Pleasure-seeking tends to make you overweight, lazy, and lost.<\/p>\n

Achieving big goals isn\u2019t just about what you do. It\u2019s also about what you\u2019re willing to give up. There will be things you simply don\u2019t have time for if you want to reach higher levels of success.<\/p>\n

Look at the ways the average person squanders their time and avoid those things. Look at how you tend to waste your time and avoid those things, too. You don\u2019t have time for unsupportive behaviors when you\u2019re aiming high!<\/p>\n
