Hugo is working as an admin officer in a reputable national company. He joins the company 3 months ago as a promising graduate with high career prospect drawn up by his boss. Hugo is the man who always can turn an unfavorable situation to one that favors him instead. For that, his boss has highly recognized him for his hard work and consistent plans in getting things done and moving stagnant projects ahead of timeline. However Hugo’s quick success in the company has also drawn up a group of zealous colleagues who always gossip and even spread false accusations about him. Soon, Hugo begins to feel frustrated about his workplace and he realize that his frustrations are getting more and more frequent. It’s affecting his performance, his work, his family… He often grumbled “… There are so many hurdles blocking me from getting what I want... I don’t seem to be getting what I want… I am upset and disappointed with my colleagues and my boss…”

“I don’t know what lies ahead of me...” and now Hugo is considering quitting and starting all over again. He hopes.

Does this sound familiar to you?

If you find yourself in a similar situation as Hugo, you could be part of the group of people who do not really understand how to get what you want.

1. You might not know what you really want.

Fix and Stick to your goals. Often, we change our targets as we are discouraged by the initial failures. If you really want something, stick to it no matter what happened in between getting your target. Identify your goals.

2. You do not know how to get it.

I’ve been sticking to my goals always but I’m still not getting what I really wanted. Ask yourself. Is my target realistic? Am I driven enough to get what I really wanted? Aiming to earn 1 million dollars within 6 months could be unrealistic if you do not know how to go about earning that. Do not be afraid. Instead, tell yourself constantly to take any initiative and figure out how to get it. Start with an action plan including timeline on when to achieve them.

3. You are afraid to bother others.

“I don’t know what lies ahead of me...”

Do not always try to get things done or achieve goals alone. Identify people who are sharing the same targets as you. Share experiences and learn from other people’s mistakes. For all routes that are ahead, there’s bound to be some routes that are already taken by the adventurous. Brave up. Picked up the courage to approach someone with what you want, then they might be able to help you get it.

4. You are feeling too comfortable with what you have currently.

Remember the time when you first joined your company? You do not know where and who to escalate your question and problem. You have to juggle with the office politics and decide which group to side with. Perhaps after some trial & error, and even lessons learnt, you are now considered “the office consultant”. Everyone including your boss will have to look for you whenever they have a question. You might or might not be able to answer all their questions but somehow, in your heart, you know that “they just have to ask me…”. You feel pleased about your seniority status. Unknowingly, you have also fallen into a place called “comfort zone”. You are afraid of changes that might make you feel unimportant, and no longer the “office consultant” that you used to be. If you really want what you want, know the sacrifices you need to make to get it and consider making them.
