8個原因揭祕你爲何始終達不到目標

Bad news… you aren’t going to reach your goals. Why? Unfortunately, there are many reasons. We set goals all the time. But, often, we do not reach them。

壞消息：你沒達成你的目標。爲什麼？不幸的是原因有很多。 我們總是在設定目標，但我們卻常常沒達成我們的目標。

There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. Maybe they were never clearly defined. Maybe the discipLine was not there. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and beings again。

目標沒有達成存在很多原因。也許是因爲目標不夠清晰明確，也許是因爲沒有做到自律。 對很多人來說，設定目標是一個無休止循環：開始，結束，然後又是開始，結束。

To help us succeed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 8 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:

爲了幫我們成功實現目標，我們來檢查一下很多人沒達成目標的原因。這裏是8個你爲什麼沒有達成目標的原因。

1. You Don’t Have Any Goals

你沒有目標

Wayne Gretsky famously said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take。” The same can be said of goals. You will not attain 100% of the goals you don’t set. Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of disappointment. Afraid of what others might think. Well, you definitely won’t complete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise, you will will end up wherever life takes you。

加拿大冰球明星韋恩·格雷茨基有一句著名的話：“不開槍，你就百分百浪費了子彈。” 在設定目標方面也是同理。如果你不設定目標，你百分之百不會實現目標。很多人不敢設定目標。他們害怕失敗，害怕失望，害怕他人的看大。然而，如果你都不去一試的話，你註定無法實現目標。做個選擇，設定目標。否則，你只能任由生活主宰你。

2. You Don’t Start

你沒開始

OK, so you have a goal. Maybe it’s to lose weight. Or to learn a new skill. To get a new hobby. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the demise of many goals。

你有一個目標。比如說是減肥，或是學一項新技能，或培養一個新愛好。 那你做過些什麼？你開始行動過嗎？你還在等什麼？拖延讓很多目標落空了。

3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals

你不願意“購買”你的目標

Yes. You have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner. If you are not willing to make the investment, then you will not reach your goals. Determine what your goal is going to cost you, and whether or not you are willing to pay the price。

是的，你要購買你的目標！爲什麼？因爲每一個目標都有一個價碼。目標是要付出代價的：時間、金錢、汗水、奉獻。你必須以某些方式爲你的目標“付出”點什麼。如果你不願意做出投資，那麼你是無法達成你的目標。確定一下你的目標需要你付出什麼代價，再確認一下你是不是願意付出這個代價。

4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic

你的目標不切實際

Setting goals is important, but ensuring that they are possible is important too. If you set your goals impossibly high, then you are not grounded in reality. Losing 30 lbs. in 30 days is not realistic. Becoming CEO of your company in a year, probably not going to happen. Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success。

設定目標很重要，但保證目標可行同樣重要。如果你設定的目標太高而不切實際，那麼你無異於在建空中樓閣。在30天裏減肥30磅不現實，一年內成爲你所在公司的總裁也不太可能發生。確認自己的目標是否可行，同時確保爲成功實現目標也預留了充足的時間。

5. You Won’t Stick With It

你沒堅持

Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals. You started them. And then… you gave up. You didn’t have the discipline to stay the course. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? I couldn’t go to the gym today because work was too busy. I could not work on my book because I was too tired. Goals are not reached through one momentous effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time。

超過半數的人在30天內就放棄目標了。你設定了目標。你着手去做了。然後你放棄了。你沒有做到自律讓自己的目標繼續下去。你在用日程瑣事作爲藉口嗎？今天我不能去健身了因爲工作太忙了。我看不進書了因爲我太累了。只求通過一次努力是無法達成目標的。它們是通過一步一步、一次次累積完成的。

6. They Are Not “Your” Goals

它們不是“你的”目標

Why did you pick the goals you set? Is it something that you wanted to accomplish, or is it something that others wanted you to do? Something that was expected of you? If your goals are not your own, you will not have the passion and drive to complete them. Too often, we put goals are on our plate that are not our own. In these cases, we are destined for failure. Ensure that your goals align with your own values and dreams。

爲什麼你會選擇設定這樣的目標？這是你想實現的嗎？或者這些是他人想要你去做的事？是別人對你的期待？如果你的目標不是你自己的，你就沒有激情和動力去實現它。太多時候我們追求的不是我們自己的目標。在這種情況下，我們註定要失敗。確信你的目標符合你自身的價值觀和夢想。

7. You Will Fail… and You Won’t Get Back Up!

你會失敗……而且你一蹶不振

No one succeeds immediately. Overnight success is a myth. Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. The secret is that when you fall down… you have to get back up. You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. Skill is learned by doing。

沒有人能一步登天。一夜成名是一個神話。那些看似輕輕鬆鬆就成功的人，通常是投入了好幾年時間去準備和練習。 祕訣在於：當你跌倒時，你得再站起來。在你成功前，你會跌倒很多次。技能是在實踐中學來的。

8. You Quit Before the Finish Line

在最後關頭你退卻了

Too many people stop… right before the finish. It’s almost like they don’t want to get there. They are afraid of succeeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always comes up before you finish. You get sick. An emergency occurs. Unforeseen events happen. (Life always does…) Don’t let “life” be the reason your do not attain your goal。

很多人在到達終點前的最後一刻停下來了。看起來似乎是他們不想穿越終點線。他們害怕成功。通常一件生活小事會被用來作爲不完成的理由。在你完成前總會有事發生：你生病了，突發事情來了，不可預見的事情發生了。(生活總是如此……)不要讓“生活”成爲你沒達成目標的理由。

Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from succeeding? Are you “paying the price” for your goals, or are you simply letting life take you where it goes? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line。

你達成目標了嗎？在這些原因中，哪些是阻礙你成功的原因？你爲你的目標付出代價了嗎？或者你僅僅是讓生活主宰你？設定目標。保持進度。當你失敗時，振作起來。最後確信你要穿越終點線。
