How do I actually move towards my life's vision, when all the time I need to firefighting with other problems?

Question

I have created a perfect framework and plan of my life objectives. Also I believe I am inline with the universal laws on my path towards these objectives. But nothing seems to work as per plan. How do I actually inch towards the vision or goal I have set for myself in life, when all the time I face time and energy sapping problems eg : chronic health issues, relationship issues, duty towards near and dear ones, sudden loss/setbacks etc.

Answer 1

Are those reference to Abraham Hicks-type laws? Anyways, that's a good positive foundation if so. Your question is pretty, and I'd say decidedly, vague, so it's difficult to give advice on that with so few specifics. My thoughts are this: just go for it, whatever it is.

It's difficult, I can imagine, to chase a dream if you have a family, children etc...which is why I plan to wait a few more years until I get into that...but even still I truly believe you can do whatever you want, and you have a greater chance if you are positive about it, keep confident, and stay focused on what you WANT, not external circumstance, "roadblocks".

I think you'll get better feedback though if you just come out and say what life objectives you're referring to...

Answer 2

I might venture to say that your plan hasn't built in the space for dealing with these real, unavoidable, unpredictable challenges.

You inch toward your vision by always working toward goals that are in line with the vision. Sometimes you have to delay, or change a desired goal because it simply is not attainable at the moment, under particular conditions. But that does not mean you cannot do anything to help toward your vision. Don't make the mistake of confusing the plan for the vision.

My own vision started later in my life - well after I had other obligations. Right now I cannot work directly on the next phase of this vision because of some of these obligations to others - which was not my plan. However, I have arranged a way to keep myself working within my vision while I am fulfilling my obligations. When the time comes for the next step of the plan, I will be even more prepared.

Or I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

lose your attachments, and your fear of loss.

Accept the fact that sometimes love doesn't work. Accept that life eventually ends for all people, and that you should be celebrating their lives rather than mourning their deaths.

Sudden losses? Think of it this way - it's an opportunity to gain something else. You need no one to pursue your own goals, do not attach yourself to them so much. Lose a car? Big deal, get another one. A dog? Be glad you experienced sharing your life with one - many people never know the joys of living with or growing up with a dog or cat. It's natural for things to die. You may see them again when it's time for you to die, depends on your beliefs.

Stop seeing losses and setbacks, and just live. There's usually an advantage to a setback.

Answer 4

My dear young person, you are having some struggles, I can see that. But you also, have goals, you have a life plan. Be patient, things in life never come easy or quickly. Sometimes goals take years to accomplish, many tries to succeed. Thomas Edison took over 1000 tries to invent the light bulb.He kept on trying. If you have a strong desire and focus on it, it will come to pass. I wish you all the very best with your goals and I hope your health and other problems don't discourage you. Good luck.

Answer 5

You should learn proper time management. Dont make too ambitous plans and put too much pressure in yourself. Slow and steady wins the race. Since you have a definite goal, you can make a clear and realistic plan by setting aside a particular amount of time and energy. Once you make the plan concentrate just on executing each bit at a time, never worrying about the goal. Unpredictable things happen in everyones life and change our plans. But greatness lies not in being unfallable but in rising up everytime you fall.

Answer 6

I do believe that if you wanted to move your life forward, you must have your own initiative. In my case, i don't rely from other people for i do have my own initiative. I don't wait for others to think of it but on my own free will and volition, i do my part. Initiative is a very important character of a person. I see success in life when you have it. Otherwise you remain stagnant forever because you become a predator. By nature, we are not predators but rather we as human beings are endowed with reasons and therefore should be used at our advantage. Thanks for aksing. Have a great day!

Answer 7

That happens, but think of these "sapping problems" as just short stop overs. As long as your road is clearly visualized ahead and you know which direction you are going. You will surely get there. Step by step does it. Don't be impatient. Look at these "problems" as stepping stones to make you stronger and resilient for bigger challenges ahead of you. Acquire a positive perception and think that all happens to make you a better person. Would it not be perfect success if you acquire, "true" character and develop yourself along the way. Wouldn't that be "cool".

Answer 8

I have experienced that it is not always possible to follow the plans exactly but if you have one and are determined to stick to it, you do keep to it more or less. You may not two hours to a thing a day but you at least devote 15 minutes to it. You will still reach the goal with that kind of determination to follow your life path.

Answer 9

What I did was create an inspiration board. Basically, I just put all things that inspire me on a posterboard and nailed it to my bedroom wall, It could be pictures or words. Go crazy. Whenever obstacles get in the way, just look at the board and you''ll be motivated again.

Answer 10

Would your ultimate goal be the same after time, or would it change from all those external factors? Perhaps it's best to let your goal to be changed accordingly to what happens to you now, than to set a definite goal for you to follow exactly..
