If You Reached Your Goal: Set A Bigger Goal

Let me start this article by sharing this quote from a motivational video that I used to listen to almost every day.

If you reach your GOAL: SET A BIGGER GOAL.
If you get to the top of the mountain: Find a bigger mountain!  

I didn’t come this far to only come this far! When I get this GOAL: I’ll seek MORE. Not more things. MORE GROWTH. Constantly pushing myself to be better.  


Greetings, my wonderful readers. It's the last day of April and I can't seem to stop sharing how grateful I am for what I have achieved this month. Yes, I have shared this with you several times already. I have achieved my first monthly earning goal and then some.

Yes, it's just the first, because I am not stopping.

Although the manner in that I achieved my goal was more than unexpected. You may even say, it was a "miracle". A true gift from God. Like the manna from heaven that God gave to the Israelites in the desert during their Exodus from Egypt.

Moreover, just like the Israelites, they did not stop in the desert and keep on waiting for manna or the flock of quails to arrive every morning, they moved on.

Just as the quote says, "I didn't come this far to only come this far!"


All Things Are Possible For Those Who Believe

I admit that when I wrote my goals last December, I had no idea how to get my earning goal for April. Why? I was aiming to earn more than twice what I was earning at the time. Considering that my options are still limited because of the pandemic, and I am only using my phone and my Celeron laptop to earn online, I had no idea how I can achieve it.

In March, I was starting to doubt myself. However, I kept saying to myself, "money will come to me from unexpected sources!"

Then, before March ended, I received that call. In our initial conversation, the offer was equivalent to what I earned both offline and online. I thought:

"Wow! This is what I need to achieve my goal for April! All I need is to exert a little more effort in read.cash and noise.cash."

However, there were some additional tasks that were given. I did the additional tasks with no questions asked. Note that the agreement was just done verbally over the phone. We did not sign any contract. All I have is I know the company and I know a few people there.

So when I received the first payment, I was happy. But it was only the first. I was surprised by the following payment. It was way much more than I expected. Way much more than what they mentioned during our initial conversation.  Before the second of April ended, I had already earned the amount that I wanted to. That's not even including my earnings from my teaching job and online earnings.

This is proof that anything is possible, even when we think that it's impossible.

Went Over The Top

I went over the top of the mountain that I had set my eyes upon. Actually, I reached the top of a higher mountain than I planned to. It was a mountain twice as high than my target. It was an amazing achievement for me. April was indeed an amazing month for me.

Finding a Bigger Mountain.

April was just the beginning. In my goal statement, my goal for each month increases. So in May, my goal is at least 20% higher than my April goal.

I don't know how I will achieve it. The manner I reached my goal was a rare opportunity. Thus, I must find another way to achieve my new goals.

I will be climbing not just a bigger mountain, but a steeper mountain.

Comes in June and July, these months will be more challenging. It's a two-month school break. Thus I won't my salary as a part-time teacher. It will be like climbing a mountain with no rope.

I'm Proud of My Achievements But..

Let me, again, borrow a few words from that motivational video

I AM proud of my achievements, but that doesn’t mean I’ll settle for them. PROUD but NEVER SATISFIED. PROUD but FOREVER HUNGRY. PROUD and ALWAYS READY. PROUD but PUSHING. PUSHING FOR MORE. PUSHING FOR GREAT.

Yes, I am proud of my achievements for April. But I can not, can never settle for them. I need to keep going. I need to push myself to achieve more. That's why my goal is to increase each month. That's how I challenge myself.

In the process, I am developing myself. I have a taste of what I can achieve financially. I know I can do it again. The challenge is finding the way how.

In Closing

Let me close this article with the video that I mentioned.

Live an abundant life.

 Thanks For Reading

It's nice to set a goal but sometimes there are pressures on achieving it which is why I set small goals only.

Indeed we should be optimistic all the time @JLoberiza

I have a humongous goal. My past mistake was, that I never sliced it down to smaller goals. Now I have smaller goals leading to my big goal.

This has been my ultimate goal in life, after reaching what I desire to reach, I'll make another new goal. A goal that's higher than my previous goal. You see, nothing is impossible in this world as long as we have to courage to face whatever life throws as us, and we have the determination to continue despite all the bumps along the way.

The bumps that we encounter make the journey challenging but more fulfilling.

This makes me want to go and climb a higher mountain! Very timely. I'm in that scenario where I'm happy with what I have now but it makes me ask myself 'what now?'. Good thing this reminded me to push for more, to go and seek great perhaps, to walk and maybe climb that uncertain path. Maybe along the way, I'll discover greater things in life.
