Day 135: On Staying in Love With Your Goals

Skipping  around  from  one  kind  of  pursuit  to  another:  grit  is  about

working on something you care about so much that you’re willing to stay

loyal to it. Not just falling in love — staying in love.

—Angela Duckworth

It’s easy to fall in love, but hard to stay in love, particularly when the

waters  get  rough.  It  takes  constant  recommitment,  sacrifice,  and  a

willingness to deeply care for what you already have. In a sense, falling in

love is like immediate gratification, giving you butterflies and all that jazz

without any unpleasantries, while staying in love (although it’s rewarding in

the long run) is sometimes an act of sacrifice that requires a great deal of

self-control.

When  you  set  your  goals,  do  you  tend  to  stick  to  them  for  the  long

haul, or do you let the temptation to change things decide for you?

If  you  constantly  jump  from  one  thing  to  another,  perhaps  you  don’t

care about your goals enough to stay loyal to them. Ask yourself if that’s

the case, and if so, how you can find new, stronger motivators or if perhaps

you should give up altogether.

If it happens with every objective of yours, even when you deeply care

about it (like it was for me when I was constantly launching one business

after another), it’s probably not a question of not caring enough, but about a

failure to exert self-control when faced with the shiny object syndrome.

The  shiny  object  syndrome  is  the  inability  to  maintain  focus  on  one

thing,  mistakenly  believing  that  the  grass  is  greener  on  the  other  side.

Instead of investing all of your resources in just one thing (for example, a

specific  relationship,  business,  diet,  etc.),  you  constantly  replace  the  thing

you have now with something else, just because it’s new and shiny. What

you fail to realize, though, is that by constantly “upgrading,” you never get

to build something that lasts, so you fail to achieve your long-term goals.

The next time you find yourself researching a new diet, workout plan,

business  model,  way  to  save  money,  technique  to  stay  productive,  and  so

on, remind yourself that unless your approach is clearly not working at all



(and for that, you need to stick to it in the long term), all you’re doing is

falling under the spell of instant gratification that will endanger your long-

term goal .
