Friends and family are important in our life. To show our love to them motivate them to achieve any goal they set for themselves. No matter how small or large the goal is.
The mistake that happens frequently is that we try to be 100% honest with our friends. When they mention a large goal they have, we give them a reality check. We tell them how it is a great goal but what the risks are to work towards the goal. Avoid pulling them down from their cloud.
When they ask you for a good honest opinion about how achievable their goal is, you receive the green light to give your opinion. However try to sense if they really want to achieve the goal and just look for some confirmation or motivation. At this point you can help them by motivating them to reach for the goal without hesitation. Any large goal is achievable if you start working towards and set up small goals along the way.
Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful. And believe that anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you. – Misty Copeland
Set large, difficult goals for yourself in the distant future and start working towards them. When you manage to work towards them you know how it feels to reach for the difficult goals. You will also need, or at least prefer, support from your friends. This way you know how it feels to lack support and you will see how support will help you.
No matter what response you receive, always support people unconditionally. Supporting the people around you also benefits yourself in short and long term. We tend to become inspired and slightly lean towards the goals of our 5 closest friend. The better the goals of your friends and family influence how you set your goals and how you reach them.
Support the people around you to help them and to improve your own life. Show them love and support and you will receive it back.
