As those with high self esteem rarely give up before reaching heartfelt goals, historically, their success rate is sky high. When success is sky high, it's no wonder that that person's self confident head may get stuck in the clouds :)
When my cock-eyed optimistic attitude was stuck in the clouds, I'd written this mantra across the top of the blackboard at the start of every family communications seminar and class:
NGUOAHG: Never Give Up On Achieving Heartfelt Goals
I wrote that because my thoughts had been limited by this frame of mind:
If you stop working toward achieving heartfelt goals, you'll not achieve them for sure.
As experience expanded my mindset, this addendum followed that mantra:
NGUOAHG ... unless your sanity is as stake ...
Why?
Well ... what if a heartfelt goal proves unachievable without the cooperative efforts of another, whose ironclad needs oppose your own? For example, what if your goal embraces mutual respect but your spoken needs continue to go unmet, suggesting that your voice goes unheard for years without end ... What then?
What then? Then your heartfelt goal may be so unrealistic as to need deeper consideration.
You see, when sanity is at stake, turning points must be sighted before breaking points lead us straight to the looney bin ...
For example, what if, upon deeper consideration, reflection suggests that a heartfelt goal had been based in subconscious fear? Once that insight popped out of my mind, Never Give Up On Achieving Heartfelt Goals changed to ...
NGUOUY:
Never Give Up On Understanding Yourself
Why? For this reason: When a hard worker's heartfelt goal remains just out of reach, it's wise to consider whether this confounding result may be caused by conflicting emotional reactions, suggesting that vital information is hiding from conscious awareness behind a mental block. As insight into self discovery coaxes 'forgotten' memories to emerge, fear that had terrorized a child's traumatized mind is reprocessed by the mature adult think tank, and resultant of reprocessing that which had terrified a deeply confused child, a new sense of clarity improves every aspect of life .. . and having said that, something tells me that a string of insights, which has been percolating inside my mind, concerning the story of the last four months of my life, may be ready to bubble forth … at least that's my hope because I don't want to ever repeat the depth of fearful confusion that tormented my mind for about four weeks until I came to see … uh, wait—I don't want to get ahead of myself, so please buckle up and wish me luck as this time machine swings us back to July …
