After serious contemplation, you’ve written your goals, broken them into sub-goals, charted your action plans and started implementing the carefully planned steps. However … but … still … yet … there are those mixed feelings, distractions, or some stumbling blocks you are facing that are casting doubts … should I go on … is something wrong?
Here’s Carol’s experience with this; something you might easily relate to. What did she do?
Carol had enrolled for a German course. Her objective was clear. She was working at a firm, which had its corporate office in Germany. Employees with fluency in German get a chance to work at the corporate office for a year. An opportunity, if used properly, that could result in a promotion.
The language course was six months long and it involved giving up on some precious weekend time both for classes and coping with assignments. And, Carol was a very popular girl.
In the first month, everything went okay. But in the second month, those invitations she had been rejecting looked more and more appealing. In the third month, the German course became a real pain. She was also not doing well in her classes.
Finally, her friend who had been silently observing her distress pointed out, “Do you really want the certification or not? If not, forget it. It’s better to waste three months than six months.” Carol’s instant response was, “You do not understand…”
“Well, I might not but in the last month, you have been taking out your frustration on everyone around you. Your classes are also suffering. It’s either letting go three months more of weekend fun or the German course. At this rate, I do not see you getting the certification. It requires an honest effort to study languages if nothing else,” her friend replied.
It was decision time for Carol, and she understood. She opted for finishing the German course for the chance to work in Germany and the opportunity for promotion looked more attractive.
