Distracted From Your Goals

Don't Get Off Track
With Your Goals

And the reason for this is listening to others who think they know what's best for you!

Listening to advice that you know in your heart is wrong for you, or listening to someone who agrees with you, although you know it's the wrong decision to make.

All of this is very easy to do, because it takes the burden of decision making off of your shoulders, and puts in on to someone else's.

If you think you need to deviate or re-structure, then do so.

Take Advise With A Grain Of Salt

You, better than anyone else, know what you want and need. Only you know what you're wanting to accomplish.

Pick out what you need, leave the rest behind, and don't be distracted from your goals.

People mean well with their advise, but they can only give you information that worked for them (and this includes me!). Only you can decide what you need to do, to get where you want to be.

So The Rules To Follow Are:

3. Be discerning about the advise you chose to follow.

Recently a relative discussed her financial plans with me, and I thought they were good and solid.

A few days later, she can back with some wild ideas that were totally different from the original plans.

And even later, she can back with yet another idea that someone had given her!

Stop The Craziness?

I told her she knew exactly what she wanted and needed to do, that she should stop seeking the advise of others and follow through on HER plans, and that if she truly wanted to follow the advise given to her, then that was her choice also.

Don't be distracted from your goals. The other person is not living your life, you are!
