MM: Why We Become Our Own Worst Enemies

Oftentimes, we are our own worst enemy…

We set goals for ourselves but become frustrated when they don’t happen overnight.

What many of us fail to realize is that we often overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term and underestimate what we can achieve in the long term.

So, on today’s Cabral Concept 3062, I would like to share why understanding your timeline and what it takes to accomplish your goals can set you up for success. Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts.

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Short-Term

We often overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term. Once we set a goal, we want to achieve it immediately. However, rapid success doesn't always stick because we might not understand which methods helped us, leading us to revert to old habits without personal growth.

2. Long-Term

We often underestimate what we can accomplish in the long term. You can aim for more and set bigger goals, but achieving them requires time and can't be done quickly.

3. Be Realistic

Progress may not happen as quickly as you'd like, but by setting realistic goals, you can achieve more and maintain your progress. Aim higher and go beyond, but understand that it will take time.
