Some solutions I’ve used included:

1. Turn overcoming that struggle into a goal.  In doing so you will make it a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) which will go a long way to motivating you to achieve it (see “Set Your Goals, Live Your Dreams”).
2. Put it on a goal card that you carry with you to remind yourself.
3. Put it in your paper or electronic day timer so you get reminded each day.
4. Find someone to be accountable to, and announce your intention.
5. Tell your parents, spouse, and kids about it.  If possible link achieving your goal (and overcoming your MS) to something that benefits them.
6. Put it on your screen saver.
7. Put it on the bathroom mirror, the refrigerator, and on the ceiling over your bed.
8. Figure out what you are NOT going to spend time on so you can spend time on overcoming your MS and reaching your goal and living your dreams. Schedule some time for it.
9. Break it down into bite sized chunks so you can start to make progress, If you don’t know what steps to take, ask someone.
10. Figure out 2 things you can do in the next 7 to 10 days to get started…

So here are 10 things you can do to help keep yourself focused on overcoming your MS. There are many more. They might not all work for you. But they are a place for you to start.  I have done each of them at one time or another, and they worked for me, so I know they can work for you.

My Major Struggle (MS) was Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I have MS, but MS doesn’t have me. Recently I blogged on “What Is Your MS” where I encouraged you to figure out one Major Struggle (MS) to focus on with the idea that if you focus on one until you are over it, you will make more progress than if you just do a little bit on a bunch of struggles. I tackled the challenge of figuring out what your MS was.

So give some of these 10 ideas a try. Get started. Get going. Get growing, and other ideas will come to you on how to stay focused and how to overcome your MS.

What is the relationship between goals and dreams? What does it mean to reach your goals? Can you really reach your dreams?

When I created the byline for The Living Your Greatness System “9 Strategies to Break Through Obstacles and Live Your Dreams”, I was hesitant to include the ‘dreams’ part.  To me, living your dreams seemed too ‘pie in the sky’, but when I though about it, it is living our dreams that many of us want out of our lives, so I included it.

What are the characteristics of your dreams? For me, my dreams seem to be a bit ‘pie in the sky’, not very clear, I’m not sure if I can really get them, and I’m not really focused on doing what I need to do to get there. Are your dreams like that?

On the other hand, I have learned to make my goals SMART. Specific enough that they motivate me because I know exactly what I want, Measurable so I know when I am making progress and when I get there, Achievable because if I don’t believe I can achieve them, they won’t motivate me, Relevant so they are things I really want, and Time bound because I know that deadlines motivate me to get things done.

They are very different from my dreams, but I believe that if I set the right goals, as I am striving for them I will be living my dreams. It is important not to confuse goals and dreams.  You want to set goals, strive to reach them, reach them, and move on to the next goal. I believe that people who have dreams that can be reached, they run the risk of being dissatisfied when they reach them. After you reached the dream, then what?

If on the other hand you set up your goals so that in the process of reaching them you will be doing the things you want to be doing with your life, then you can live your dreams as you strive to reach your goals. If you take the time to get them lined up so this is true, do you think you you will live a more fulfilled life, whatever barriers you have to cross to reach your goals?
