WHEN GOALS AREN'T WORKING OUT.. SEE WHAT'S NEXT.
Just like everyone, when I entered into another year, I have plans for myself for the year. I look forward to smashing my goals and hoping to see all of them come to fruition.
However, three is a saying that man proposes and God disposes. God alone is the one whom I rest my hope on to make things work out
By the time the year is far gone, I should analyze my goals and see how I have fared at least in the last six months.
God forbid, if I find them not working out as planned, definitely it will break my heart.
That can already raise one"s BP 😅 but I know I am not in competition with anyone. So rather than stay down brooding over the failure, I would rise and try to fix things. These are what I would do.
LOOK FOR ERRORS AND REDRESS THEM
What went wrong? What have I not done well? Could it be that I didn't commit enough time into reaching the goals? Could it be that I set unrealistic goals that are somewhat not specific? For example, one of my goals for this year is to learn a language. Have I specified what exactly is the language? Languages are many, it could be a programming language; which one in particular? If a foreign language , have I identified the possibility and worked out modalities for attending the class? If many of these were lacking, then I need to reevaluate my goals and make them more specific.
FIND MENTORS
It would be important for me to maximize the remaining part of the year by swiftly looking for mentors who could guide me in areas I went solo or begin to see those who are thriving in that aspect of my goal( people who had similar goal). They could show me how and what they did to produce result.
START AGAIN
You don't deserve what you want but you create what you want. It doesn't matter how many times I need to start again , I would do it again and again until I get it right. I learnt the man who invented an electric lightbulb failed 1000 times before one eventually lit up. Today he is remembered for the invention and success he made, not for the many times he failed. Even if someone failed in his goals two months to the end of the year, with resilience and more smart work, he could still record success even at the eleventh hour. I will keep on trying , I do not know when it can be my chance to smash the goals and succeed.
ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER
This person can be there to always charge me up, reminding me of things I need to do owing to the deadline I set. If the accountability partner is like my elder brother, I can never rest until I do things right.
Did you notice that these things I enumerated can also be done early in the year after setting the goals? Why wait to explore these methods only when the goals had failed?
This is awake up call for this year that as I set my goals, I would want to put all the above measures in place so as to record success. As much as we live in an unstable World, things might not always go exactly as we want them. However, when we put in our best, our success rate can be high while failure becomes minimal. Let's do our best and smash many goals this year

Well, just like you said, man proposes and God disposes,but there's a feeling of fulfillment we have when we give it our best in achieving a goal,even when there's obstacle we can always see improvement in what we do, at times we might feel bad if we don't get the desired results, but making a little progress can serve as a ray of hope for us..And this will give us the motivation to keep going
It's nice reading from you.
Thanks Sis for stopping by. Surely, in every disappointment, we can look for a little improvement we made and find how to push further. May God help in all our endeavors.

Lol... I never expected anyone to mention BP. Haha. This is an interesting read and it's also very realistic. It's tough to experience that sort of situation. I know that it's not easy to work on something for half a year only to realize that your efforts haven't been yielding desired results.
You made really good points, especially when you mentioned that all these things can be done at the beginning of the year. Some people have a very solid Plan B, but they have a weak plan B.
If we know what's right and do it from the beginning of the year, we may never have to experience an uninspiring outcome. Hehe.
Thanks for joining this edition of the challenge.
I appreciate your time reading my entry. Yes, High BP is inevitable when someone finds the year half way gone and it seems he /she needs to start afresh with planning. Definitely if we take good care of plan A, then plan B would not be necessary.
I am glad I participated in the first challenge from your new community. Hoping for more fun times with #thinkerscorner. Kudos Bro @kenechukwu97
Your technique of addressing a failed plan is quite commendable. Retracing your steps to find out where the plan went wrong will allow you to prevent yourself from repeating the same mistake.
Failing doesn't mean a person should stop trying, there is always a room for trying again.

You are very correct, thanks for alluding to my post and for the visit.
Yeah, having a accountability partner works magic most times if not all the time.

Thanks so much Sis
You're welcome ma'am 🥰
Lol, it sure raises one's BP when your goals are thrashed. Life happens, and we can't stop it.
However, with great determination, things will surely turn out well, and I hope they do.
On the language part, you can try the Duolingo app to give you needed hints to fully charge in.
We must never compete with others because everyone is unique. Instead, we need to grow as individuals, setting precise goals, especially early or at the beginning of the year. This is a good strategy that can contribute to personal growth. And with God's help we can accomplish them 🙏
