Have you ever set a goal that meant a lot to you and then worked towards it with best intentions only to lose motivation or forget about it or simply blow it? If you answered yes, you’re not alone. Most people fail to achieve goals which is why many rely on New Years to set their resolutions – again! “This time, I’m going to succeed!”………… famous last words…………… how discouraging!

是否你曾经设定过一个对你来说意义非凡的目标，然后以完美的意图去为这个目标而努力，不想却失去动力，或者遗忘这一目标，或者把这个目标给搞砸了？如果你回答是：“是的”，那么，你其实并不孤独。大多数人没有达成目标，这就是为什么许多人会依靠新年来重新下定决心！“这次，我一定会成功的。”！“............著名的遗言...............真令人泄气！

There are many reasons…………… (or excuses?) … for failing to achieve goals. We all see this often in ourselves or others. So what is the real reason goals can be so difficult to achieve? 2 biggest answers:

无法达成目标有很多的原因（或者借口），在自己或者别人身上，我们都会看到。那么，很难达成目标的真实原因是什么呢？有以下2个：

Poor planning

计划不周

Missing a small but important detail here can cause unexpected delays, lack of resources, missed opportunities, setbacks, disappointment, excuses………etc.

错过某个很小，却很重要的细节，都会导致意想不到的耽搁，缺乏资源，错过机会，受到挫折，失望，借口，等等。

Lack of reason why

缺乏想要达成目标的真正理由

This may sound simple but did you ever think that your reason why you want to achieve a particular goal may not be your real reason why? That makes no sense, I know, but I challenge you to think about it for a second. We all focus on the obvious ie: get the promotion for the money, lose weight to be thin, etc. Those reasons are good but they are often not deep enough to push you through till the end. You already know that spot, sk, "our goal? What will that look like, sound like, feel like, you can reach your goal. In that case sometimes, reaching goals can be challenging because it can require doing things you don’t enjoy, sacrifices, changing habits – ugh, I’m discouraged just thinking about it!! But, it’s crucial. Spend a moment contemplating WHY you want that particular outcome? For example: What will being thin bring you besides smaller clothes? How will it feel? What will that extra money do for you? How will it feel? How will your life change? Your real reason why is how it will feel. Everything else is merely a vehicle to that feeling. Once you uncover your real reason and let yourself start feeling it, as if you already have it (that’s important!), it will be much easier to stay focused and enthusiastic along the way even when times get tough.

听起来可能确实是非常简单，但你是否认为想达成某个目标的原因可能并非真正的理由？这其实说不通，但请你再想一想。换言之，我们都把注意力集中在显而易见的事情上：薪资上涨，减肥瘦身，等等。这些理由都还不错，但往往不够深入，去推到你到达最后。你已经知道知道这一点！我们的目标？看起来怎么样，听起来像，感觉像，你是可以达成目标的。在这种情况下，有时，达成目标是具有挑战性的，因为，这要求你去做你并不喜欢的事情，牺牲，及改变习惯–呃，我气馁，只是会想着这个目标！但是，这很关键！请花点时间去想想为什么你想要那个特定的结果？例如：除了可以穿较小衣服之外，瘦能为你带来什么？感觉如何？多余的资金对你有什么好处？感觉如何？你的生活将如何改变？其实，真正的原因感觉怎么样，而其他的一切只不过是那种感觉的载体罢了。一旦你发现了真正的理由，让自己去感受，就像你已经拥有（这一点很重要！）即使在艰难的时候，也要保持前进的方向和热情，这会让事情变得相对容易一些。
