Why Should you Focus on Obstacles instead of Goals?

I highly recommend reading “3 Features of Subconscious Mind” before reading this.

Dreaming Feels Good

I know. Dreaming is so sweet. It is easy and everything is perfect, just like you always wanted. We tend to step into our dreamworld when things aren’t going on its way. It is the brain’s natural defensive reaction to avoid uncomfortable feelings so that we are somehow protected and the dangerous situation is prevented. Well, is focusing on dreams actually going to be an assistant in the dangerous future to come? Unfortunately, just like additives that are used in unhealthy but delicious foods, dreaming about the goals will have side effects.

Why?

Subconscious mind can not distinguish concrete and discrete concepts such as reality and dream. It saves the information with the same perception. That is the reason we feel extremely happy, relaxed and successful during dreaming; even if we know that it has nothing to do with reality. In the end, that feeling of happiness, relaxation and success is causing people to feel like they have already accomplished everything they have ever wanted. They opened the door of fame and fortune which causes them to lose their motivation. Focusing on goals is going to make things look easier just before a crushing obstacle pops up in the way.

Benefits of Obstacles

Focusing on obstacles is not giving any stimulation to the brain like dreaming does and definitely not fun to do. However, it is a mindful guide for steps to take in order to achieve a particular goal. Focusing on obstacle can prepare individuals for what is coming for them and help them make the right decisions to overcome it. Obstacles are the main components of the goals we have ambitiously determined. They are what we have asked for in order to get where we wanna get.
