Bad news… you aren’t going to reach your goals. Why? Unfortunately, there are many reasons. We set goals all the time. But, often, we do not reach them。

　　壞消息：你沒達(dá)成你的目標(biāo)。為什么？不幸的是原因有很多。 我們總是在設(shè)定目標(biāo)，但我們卻常常沒達(dá)成我們的目標(biāo)。

　　There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. Maybe they were never clearly defined. Maybe the discipline was not there. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and beings again。

　　目標(biāo)沒有達(dá)成存在很多原因。也許是因?yàn)槟繕?biāo)不夠清晰明確，也許是因?yàn)闆]有做到自律。 對很多人來說，設(shè)定目標(biāo)是一個無休止循環(huán)：開始，結(jié)束，然后又是開始，結(jié)束。

　　To help us succeed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 8 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:

　　為了幫我們成功實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)，我們來檢查一下很多人沒達(dá)成目標(biāo)的原因。這里是8個你為什么沒有達(dá)成目標(biāo)的原因。

　　1. You Don’t Have Any Goals

　　你沒有目標(biāo)

　　Wayne Gretsky famously said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take。” The same can be said of goals. You will not attain 100% of the goals you don’t set. Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of disappointment. Afraid of what others might think. Well, you definitely won’t complete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise, you will will end up wherever life takes you。

　　加拿大冰球明星韋恩·格雷茨基有一句著名的話：“不開槍，你就百分百浪費(fèi)了子彈。” 在設(shè)定目標(biāo)方面也是同理。如果你不設(shè)定目標(biāo)，你百分之百不會實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。很多人不敢設(shè)定目標(biāo)。他們害怕失敗，害怕失望，害怕他人的看大。然而，如果你都不去一試的話，你注定無法實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。做個選擇，設(shè)定目標(biāo)。否則，你只能任由生活主宰你。

　　2. You Don’t Start

　　你沒開始

　　OK, so you have a goal. Maybe it’s to lose weight. Or to learn a new skill. To get a new hobby. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the demise of many goals。

　　你有一個目標(biāo)。比如說是減肥，或是學(xué)一項(xiàng)新技能，或培養(yǎng)一個新愛好。 那你做過些什么？你開始行動過嗎？你還在等什么？拖延讓很多目標(biāo)落空了。

　　3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals

　　你不愿意“購買”你的目標(biāo)

　　Yes. You have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner. If you are not willing to make the investment, then you will not reach your goals. Determine what your goal is going to cost you, and whether or not you are willing to pay the price。

　　是的，你要購買你的目標(biāo)！為什么？因?yàn)槊恳粋€目標(biāo)都有一個價碼。目標(biāo)是要付出代價的：時間、金錢、汗水、奉獻(xiàn)。你必須以某些方式為你的目標(biāo)“付出”點(diǎn)什么。如果你不愿意做出投資，那么你是無法達(dá)成你的目標(biāo)。確定一下你的目標(biāo)需要你付出什么代價，再確認(rèn)一下你是不是愿意付出這個代價。

　　4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic

　　你的目標(biāo)不切實(shí)際

　　Setting goals is important, but ensuring that they are possible is important too. If you set your goals impossibly high, then you are not grounded in reality. Losing 30 lbs. in 30 days is not realistic. Becoming CEO of your company in a year, probably not going to happen. Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success。

　　設(shè)定目標(biāo)很重要，但保證目標(biāo)可行同樣重要。如果你設(shè)定的目標(biāo)太高而不切實(shí)際，那么你無異于在建空中樓閣。在30天里減肥30磅不現(xiàn)實(shí)，一年內(nèi)成為你所在公司的總裁也不太可能發(fā)生。確認(rèn)自己的目標(biāo)是否可行，同時確保為成功實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)也預(yù)留了充足的時間。

　　5. You Won’t Stick With It

　　你沒堅持

　　Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals. You started them. And then… you gave up. You didn’t have the discipline to stay the course. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? I couldn’t go to the gym today because work was too busy. I could not work on my book because I was too tired. Goals are not reached through one momentous effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time。

　　超過半數(shù)的人在30天內(nèi)就放棄目標(biāo)了。你設(shè)定了目標(biāo)。你著手去做了。然后你放棄了。你沒有做到自律讓自己的目標(biāo)繼續(xù)下去。你在用日程瑣事作為借口嗎？今天我不能去健身了因?yàn)楣ぷ魈α恕Ｎ铱床贿M(jìn)書了因?yàn)槲姨哿?。只求通過一次努力是無法達(dá)成目標(biāo)的。它們是通過一步一步、一次次累積完成的。

　　6. They Are Not “Your” Goals

　　它們不是“你的”目標(biāo)

　　Why did you pick the goals you set? Is it something that you wanted to accomplish, or is it something that others wanted you to do? Something that was expected of you? If your goals are not your own, you will not have the passion and drive to complete them. Too often, we put goals are on our plate that are not our own. In these cases, we are destined for failure. Ensure that your goals align with your own values and dreams。

　　為什么你會選擇設(shè)定這樣的目標(biāo)？這是你想實(shí)現(xiàn)的嗎？或者這些是他人想要你去做的事？是別人對你的期待？如果你的目標(biāo)不是你自己的，你就沒有激情和動力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它。太多時候我們追求的不是我們自己的目標(biāo)。在這種情況下，我們注定要失敗。確信你的目標(biāo)符合你自身的價值觀和夢想。

　　7. You Will Fail… and You Won’t Get Back Up!

　　你會失敗……而且你一蹶不振

　　No one succeeds immediately. Overnight success is a myth. Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. The secret is that when you fall down… you have to get back up. You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. Skill is learned by doing。

　　沒有人能一步登天。一夜成名是一個神話。那些看似輕輕松松就成功的人，通常是投入了好幾年時間去準(zhǔn)備和練習(xí)。 秘訣在于：當(dāng)你跌倒時，你得再站起來。在你成功前，你會跌倒很多次。技能是在實(shí)踐中學(xué)來的。

　　8. You Quit Before the Finish Line

　　在最后關(guān)頭你退卻了

　　Too many people stop… right before the finish. It’s almost like they don’t want to get there. They are afraid of succeeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always comes up before you finish. You get sick. An emergency occurs. Unforeseen events happen. (Life always does…) Don’t let “life” be the reason your do not attain your goal。

　　很多人在到達(dá)終點(diǎn)前的最后一刻停下來了。看起來似乎是他們不想穿越終點(diǎn)線。他們害怕成功。通常一件生活小事會被用來作為不完成的理由。在你完成前總會有事發(fā)生：你生病了，突發(fā)事情來了，不可預(yù)見的事情發(fā)生了。(生活總是如此……)不要讓“生活”成為你沒達(dá)成目標(biāo)的理由。

　　Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from succeeding? Are you “paying the price” for your goals, or are you simply letting life take you where it goes? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line。

　　你達(dá)成目標(biāo)了嗎？在這些原因中，哪些是阻礙你成功的原因？你為你的目標(biāo)付出代價了嗎？或者你僅僅是讓生活主宰你？設(shè)定目標(biāo)。保持進(jìn)度。當(dāng)你失敗時，振作起來。最后確信你要穿越終點(diǎn)線。
