Empowering Your Shift from Daydreaming to Dream Doing

March 12 - Has your initial gusto fizzled?

March 12 – Has your initial gusto fizzled? Has some of your excitement about an initiative or goal waned? Are you feeling less enthusiastic about the direction you are headed? Are you frustrated by some circumstances that have delayed or halted your progress? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you also need to ask yourself if your confidence or doubt has had a role in diminishing some of the vigor that was so strong initially.

Whenever pursuing a goal, there is never any way to anticipate the obstacles or challenges that will be encountered as best as we try. When we encounter more than a few challenges, we can begin to question whether what we are trying to achieve is worth doing after all. We begin to doubt whether it is possible, or allow our own self-confidence to be in question. If you still truly desire to realize progress and success, then there always is something you can do to bring enthusiasm, excitement and progress back into being.
