I believe there are 4 paths people take when trying to reach their goals.

1. Quit
2. Give up
3. Succeed
4. We’ll cover this one in a second (it’s the scariest one)

First, there’s a difference between quitting and giving up.

Quitting means you stopped what you were doing because you stopped caring about achieving the end goal.

Maybe you quit college because you decided you’d rather be an entrepreneur than go to school.

And that’s ok. Your goal just changed.

But giving up is a different story.

That’s when you still desire the end goal but you’re not willing to put in the work to make it happen.

For example, quitting college because it’s hard, even though you really wanted that degree to pursue the career of your dreams.

That’s giving up.

Then, of course, there’s success.

Most people know what this looks like.

But it’s the 4th path you really need to look out for?

It’s the most dangerous of all the paths because it lulls you into complacency.

It’s called Somedayism.

This is when you tell yourself you’ll do it someday (just not today).

Now understand. This feels good.

It feels good because you think you’ll do it someday.

But, you know when “someday” comes?

Never.

You just end up putting these goals off forever but it feels like you’re making progress because you have a plan to do it someday.

If you’re guilty of this, then you need to know….

Somedayism is always a result of a lack of confidence.

You want the goal, but deep down inside you don’t believe you can do it (or worse you don’t believe you deserve it).

It’s simple.

The more confidence you feel, the more success you have.
