When Your Goals are Too Fuzzy, Reaching Them Ain't Easy!
Have you ever been in a situation wherein you think you've just been running in circles, juggling and battling life but at the end of the day accomplishing nothing? Well, I have. Oftentimes I am snowed under with bazillion of tasks and still feel incomplete since I am not able to do what I really love. It's probably one of the struggles of my work that I constantly deal with. There are myriad of ideas running in my mind and I just can't find time to weave them. It's like you want to do something really bad but you just can't, at the moment.
It's frustrating, disappointing and leaves me wanting more. I know that I'm still the captain of my soul and that I have a greater power over all my circumstances. But I guess things just don't come to you. I have always been wanting for a change to take effect in my life, only to realize that I need to MAKE it. I am someone who that has a force to act. Not to be acted upon.
Then I read @kaylinart's entry Just Do It! NOW! and knew right there and then what's wrong. I have always been so vague with my goals. Thus, the world is also having a hard time giving it to me. After all, I didn't know what I really want so how could I expect the world to give it to me?
Just Do it! NOW!
A lot of people just waits for the perfect opportunities to hit them as well as the things that they want but just as @kaylinart said,
"The Right Time Will NEVER Exist."
If you want something done, something accomplished, you need to start doing it. Nothings gonna change if you just wait for it. ACT and just do it NOW!
It takes courage and effort to ACT and start doing what you really like. Your life doesn’t need to go through a predictable story arc. It doesn’t have to start with a dream, follow through hard work and end up in a nice home with four bedrooms. Instead it can twist and travel. You don’t have to know the final answer, you just need to ACT on the next step.
I have been reading a lot of good stuffs here on steemit, mostly motivational blogs and I am more optimistic now. I have begun to slowly ACT on the things that I really desire and I feel good about it.
To close this blog off, here is my parting words inspired from @kafkanarchy84, "Hard Fork Your Life." If nothing is working out, make an upgrade and change.
I hope this post could inspire you as much as it inspired me to write it.

Very inspiring post here man!
One thing that helps me to get things accomplished is making LISTS. Yes I know it sounds boring and a bit cliché but making a list is the only way that I can get organized and maintain some sort of sense of responsibility. Having something written in front of your face makes it a lot harder to avoid when trying to procrastinate.
When you check something off your list you get a small dopamine reward that makes you feel good too!
A written goal really is helpful, its there to always keep you on track and inspire you. I have one as well here, though all of it just being small goals, its a step closer for my big ones. Thanks for the post appreciation man! :)
I agree. Goals need to be specific and you need to have a plan to reach them

These words cannot be any more truer. Fear and doubt held us all the time. By always waiting for right time, so that we can always feel secured, made it very hard to reach our goals.
Well done on such an inspiring post.
Many people fall into the misconception that if a lot of people are doing something, it must be the safest path. Being average won't help you reach your goals, you'd have to be bold and take it on your own. Thanks for appreciating!
I value such posting when on the edge up or down we allow ourselves to claim our authenticity. not easy to stand up and continue.
Good one Bro! Keep steeming
