Till now, I have learned that every new day in life is filled with new opportunities. But with these opportunities, comes challenges which can never be ignored. One can either skip these opportunities or face the challenge and grab the opportunity. I prefer going with the second option that is facing the challenge. The basic mantra for me while facing a challenge is to become proactive. Most of the times, what people generally tend to do is that they stress more on the occurrence of the problem and also going with the flow. Instead of this they should go for a pragmatic approach to face the challenge, do some brainstorming so as to get out of a particular challenge. Another problem that comes while achieving a goal is that of thinking about the big picture or final target. Every day, after working towards our goal we tend to compare the day’s progress with our ultimate target and when we find ourselves performing less than the par, we start losing motivation and get distracted from the goal. The problem here is that we are focusing too much on the main goal. Although the ultimate destination is to reach our determined target but we also need to create small targets that we can achieve on a short period and is achievable within a stipulated time. I will explain this situation with my own example. Few years, back when I started working out, my weight was 65kg and my aim was to reach 80kg. During my initial months, I saw a little progress, which was 3kg increase in my weight. I wasn’t satisfied with the results and felt like quitting. That was the time when my trainer told me to make small monthly target and he also advised me to compare my present results with my past, so as to analyse my overall progress and to see how far I have come since the start of my fitness journey. It took me 2 years to get to my idol weight and achieve the physique of my choice. From my fitness journey, I not only learned about setting up small targets along with main target (where we finally want to reach) but also about the power of being consistent. This is how I overcame the problems that I faced and grew as a person.
