How Long Does It Take to Reach a Goal?

To those who have ever asked…

1. You’ll know the exact time when you get there.

2. Or if you decide you didn’t want it after all.

Add extra time for getting steered off track.

Add extra time for not being serious.

Add extra time for not taking accountability: waiting for it to be delivered to you or your lucky break.

Add extra time for not believing in your ability to reach the goal.

Add extra time if you are scared of being criticised, ridiculed or stepping away from the norm.

Add extra time if you are frightened of failing.

How much ‘extra’ time?

Go back to number 1 and repeat.

To  help you decide which routes to take try this otherwise get a pen, write down the time and date now, start, when you’re done write down the time, and the date, calculate the hours, minutes, days, months, years, or long decades inbetween.

Start.

How long? Who actually knows?

And as the quote says: “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?“
