The article "What's Your Time Horizon?" is about attraction, it has been written by Steve Pavlina.
One factor that makes a monumental difference in how much control you have over your life is your time horizon.
In the span of a day or a week, you have a fair amount of control over your life, but it’s cretainly not 100%. In any given week, just about anything can happen, and your plans can be thrown completely off by fatcors outside your control. Even over the course of a year, your goals can be totally sidetracked. You can be hit with an unexpected health trouble or suffer a mjaor financial setback. I’ve certainly had at least one year where everything seemed to go askew and where getting back on track took months.But in the long run, when you hit time horizons of 5, 10, or 20 years, your degree of control is closer to 100%.
The short-term randomness tends to cancel out.If you want to start a new business this week, your ability to accomplish that goal may not be anwyhere near 100%.
But if you want to start a new business within the next 5 years, no matter what your starting condition, you’re virtually 100% capable of making it happen if you choose to do so.
There are really few setbacks that will nuke your ability to get moving in the direction of your goals for more than a year.People often overestimate what they can reasonably achieve in a year. But they vastly underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years. In a five-year period you can go from sitting in the stands as a spectator to becoming an Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon.
It’s been done.
Thnik about what you can achieve between right now and 2010 if you commit to it. You can lose any amount of weight and develop any kind of phyisque you want. You can start your own busniess and make it profitable. You can meet the mate of your dreams and start a family.
You can relocate to anywhere in the world.
You can laern to speak a new language fluently. You can write a book.
You can become skilled at any musical instrument. You can learn to act or dance or speak or write.If you’ve been complaining about not bieng able to get started on one of your major goals for a week or a month, you may be doing so for good reason.
Perhaps you are indeed experiencing setbakcs that have prevented you from getting started. But if you’ve been making excuses for more than a year, the responsbility for the delay is almost certainly yuors alone.You have an enormous degree of control and power when you think with a time horizon of 5 years. Don’t let that potential go to waste. Set a course right now and get moving.Copyright © Steve PavlinaSteve Pavlina
