This is the Hardest Type of Goal To Achieve
I write about pursuing goals all the time, maybe more than anything else. But not just any goals, I prefer to focus on the process of pursuing difficult goals. I classify a goal as difficult if it takes four or more years of effort to achieve.
With that said, there is one type of difficult goal in particular that is by far the hardest type of goal to achieve. I don’t recommend anyone try to pursue a goal like this, as the probability of failure is extremely high. Furthermore, pursuing goals like this is not necessary and one may even call it careless. Unfortunately however, most people pursue goals like this anyway, without even thinking about the consequence of decreasing their chance for success.
Without further ado, the hardest type of goal to achieve are goals with no meaning. In other words, if you are pursuing a difficult goal and don’t really believe in the “why” behind your reason for pursuing it, then your probability of failure is extremely high.
For example, pursuing a career as a doctor, nurse, lawyer, computer scientist, or engineer among other difficult fields. If you pursue a careers in fields like these because of your parents, or because you think you’ll make a lot of money, or because of the status, then your chance of getting to the finish line is low.
Want to launch a startup and raise money from professional investors? How about be an Olympian, a professional athlete, open a restaurant, or run a successful non-profit? All difficult goals that take years of toil, experience, blood, sweat, and tears. You’d be wise to have a “why” that’s meaningful if success is more than a pipe dream for you.
