This shouldn’t need to be said, but often it does: if you don’t enjoy what you do on a regular basis, then you’re going to have a very difficult time achieving your goals. The reason for this should be obvious: even if you “know” you should be working towards your goals, the pain and discomfort associated with them will push you too far in the opposite direction.
This is why it is important to make sure that you enjoy your life, even as you work towards very difficult goals. You can start by revising your current approach to accomplishing your goals, so that they become more enjoyable.
For instance, let’s say your goal is weight loss; and let’s also say that you find it painful and embarrassing to go to the gym. Well, instead of doing this, consider taking long walks in the evening. This could do the job of helping you lose weight, but without requiring you to be severely uncomfortable.
