1.
Be happy with how much progress you have
made. Accept that achievement is not instantaneous. The important thing is you have put things in motion.
2.
Continue
to be quietly assertive. Big goals, big ideas may require that.
3.
Celebrate
the process –enjoy the adventure and the challenges; think about the knowledge
and wisdom gained. Plateau is followed by breakthrough, breakthrough is
followed by plateau. This is a well-recognized pattern. Let the current plateau get you excited about breaking through to a new level.
4.
Use
your imagination. Imagination is a powerful tool for dealing with frustrated desires. We never use it enough.
5.
Stay
positive and hopeful – understand it may just take more time than you
thought. The important thing is you are building on your success.
6.
Take
a break - focus on something else for a while.
Pauses often lead to breakthroughs.
7.
Look
at the problem from a different angle – you may be missing something.
9.
Ask
for advice. Someone else may have the
answer.
11. Pass on the baton. Someone else may be better
positioned, or better equipped, to make your desire a reality.
12. Take a step back. Ask yourself, what will happen if the goal is
not reached. What would have been
gained? What would have been lost?
13. Move on to the next great
adventure - desires are usually replaceable and interchangeable.
14. Re-examine your motives. Why is this desire important to you?
15. Break up the desire. Smaller desires are more easily achieved.
16. Develop emotional skills. Patience, tolerance and flexibility will often get you further than strategy and
tactics alone.
17. Become spiritual about it –
understand the desire may not be for this moment, or may not be for you.
18. If the desire is based on
expectations connected with other people, become more empathetic, become a better leader and motivator
of others. Find out what you are doing wrong.
19. Believe in yourself and
persist. Even if everyone has stopped
believing in you, or what you want to do, you should not stop believing in
yourself. Take inspiration from people who persisted over a long period of time to achieve their goals. Find ways to keep yourself going. Be persnickety persistent.
20. If everything else fails,
transcend the desire. The more desires
you are able to transcend, the happier you will be. Meditation may be one way to do that.
