The No.1 reason why people fail to achieve their goals?


 The No.1 reason why people fail to achieve their goals? 

“They listen to dumb advice from family and friends.” - Napoleon Hill - 

If you are not happy with what you are doing and where you are in your life, stop taking advices from and following people that have not achieved or done what you want to do or have achieved. Do you. Live the life worth living for you. 

I am grateful. 🙏❤️

Yes, life is a journey, not a destination. It is a series of experiences that we learn and grow from. Success is not a destination, it is a process. It is about enjoying the journey and making the most of each opportunity. Success is not about being perfect. It is about learning and growing from your experiences. Enjoy the journey and make the most of each opportunity.

Everyone should live the life they intended to and be selective of the advices that one seek. Some might work and some might not work - one man's meat is another man's poison.

Indeed. Be careful from whom you take advice, we don't ask an elephant about how to fly. The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. Some words from Henry Beecher.

Agreed. It's important to be cautious about the advice you receive. Take the time to carefully evaluate the advice, especially when it comes from family and friends. Not all advice may be helpful or relevant to your specific goals and aspirations. 🙏🏻

The No.1 reason why people fail to achieve their goals?

Lack of resources or support: Limited access to resources, such as time, money, or knowledge, can make it more challenging to achieve goals. Additionally, a lack of support from family, friends, or mentors can make it harder to stay motivated and overcome obstacles.

Completely agree. It is critical to surround ourselves with people who are supportive of our goals and can offer helpful advice. However, we must exercise caution when deciding which advice to follow. Not everyone has our best interests in mind, and not everyone is qualified to give us advice on our particular scenario.

When you originally said that "talent beats hard work when talent doesn't work hard," I still clearly recall that. Since then, this piece of advice has stayed with me and has assisted me in maintaining my motivation and goal-focused attitude.
You have also taught me the value of efficiency and organisation. .
I appreciate how you have inspired me to take on new tasks as well.
I appreciate you being such a fantastic mentor and employer. Because of you, I am a better person and worker.

I couldn't agree more. Choosing advice wisely is key to success. Surround yourself with accomplished individuals who align with your goals. Trust your instincts and live a life that truly reflects your aspirations. Stay focused, stay true to yourself, and keep striving for a fulfilling life.

Well !! yes very true , as said .*Live the life worth living for you*

Most importantly be around people who you think is worth being with. Anyone can give us advise on anything but its us who choose what is needed and what will help us to grow. So be smart on choosing the person. It can be anyone. 😍

Pretty sure . Believe in yourself wholeheartedly. Embrace your intuition, work hard, and have the confidence to make decisions that align with your goals and aspirations. Your inner guidance and determination will ultimately lead you to the success you seek. Thanks Mr. Ernie

Setuju dan sangat setuju.



Lebih baik kita percaya kepada diri sendiri daripada mendengar nasihat orang lain. Sebab? Kerana, kadang-kadang mereka hanya mahu melihat kita gagal. Oleh itu, mereka sengaja memberi nasihat b***h begitu. Kita boleh jadikan kejayaan mereka sebagai aras petunjuk untuk berjaya.

It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to tune out the noise and focus on what you really want in life. Thank you for the words Thank you the. words

Yes Mr. Ernie, I agree that the reason of failing to achieve goals is relying on advice from people who haven't achieved what we aspire to. It's important to trust our instincts and pursue our own path.

I agree with you sir..to achieve our goal,we have to think wisely.there are some good advice and there are some bad advise..end up,we are the one who make decision either to take the advice or not..make the best decision so we can achieve our goal without being influenced others

Shasireaga Sathiamoorthy said...

Agreed 💯.
Trust this internal guidance system to lead you down the right path.🫶🏻

Absolutely! Knowing what we want and staying focused on our goals is crucial. Surrounding ourselves with the RIGHT people who support and inspire us can have a significant impact on our journey toward achieving those goals. Spending time with the right people is important. Additionally, it is essential to continuously raise our standards in all aspects. By setting high standards for ourselves, we push ourselves to grow and strive for excellence. Believing in oneself is a powerful mindset.

Gym Chan said...

Yes, another valuable lesson I have learned today.

The reason why people fail to achieve their goals is often because they don't focus on the right things. It's crucial to be objective-driven in everything we do.

In life, there are many distractions and plenty of excuses we can make for not achieving our goals.

However, at the end of the day, it about how hungry we are wanting to achieve it.

By focusing on the right objectives and surrounding ourselves with the right people, we can make better decisions and take the right actions to reach our goals.

Working hard is pointless if we don't stay focused on the right objectives. No matter how much effort we put into something, it will be waste of time if we lose focus on our goal.

Andrew Yau said...

Oh yes sir! Life is short, we cannot be living for others. Know our objective in life, go for it! Don’t set any boundaries to ourselves.

Think, Action, and Results is what makes us happy at the end of the day.

Make good use of our Head, Heart & Hand, they are our most powerful weapon.

Live the life we want!
WE ARE JUST ONE DAY AWAY!

Just because they are our mother, father, wife or elder family does not mean they are always right. We all have our own path and decision to make. We only live once. Do not do thing that make ourself regret.

Life is about taking ownership of yourself and making decisions that align with your own aspirations and goals. By being true to ourselves and pursuing what truly brings us joy and fulfillment, we can create a life worth living. If you are currently dissatisfied with your life, perhaps you are the cause of your own unhappiness. It's because of the choices you make in how you spend your time—whether it's the daily, monthly, or yearly allocation of your 24 hours. Additionally, it's important to be cautious about whose advice we heed, as listening to those who haven't achieved tangible results may not be beneficial. It's crucial to learn from both positive and negative experiences, utilizing unsuccessful cases as valuable case studies of what not to do.

I would like to express my gratitude for your advice and for sharing your insights. Always Stay Focused, Be Objective-driven, and show results. A wonderful life lies ahead when we apply these principles.

Thank you once again for what you have done.

Agreed with this. We should surround ourselves with 5 people that are better than us that can help us grow and become better.

We should always strive to achieve more. And the support system around us should help propel us to want to achieve more instead of discouraging us.

Advice is just words until we take action upon them. It is up to us to choose which ones to take .

Yes! Always think about what you want to achieve in your life and strive for it. Besides, never underestimate yourself and remain steadfast in your goals. Additionally, surround yourself with outstanding individuals who are better than you, as it will help elevate your standards and make you a better person.

Yes! WOnce you’ve decided on your path, just do whatever that makes you comfortable. No one will understand what you’ve been through. Life is on your own hand, live the life that will not make your regret 😉
