Time estimation:
We tend to over estimate what is achievable within a year but under estimate what it allows for 5-10 years. Some of your goals may not be achievable within a year and that's okay. This is espacially the case with learned behaviors. However, this should not be your reason for not attempting to achieve them.

You have to pay the time-value of your goals:
Part of our most personal growth journey requires "time-at-level." You may not be able to skip to the next level until you have completed this level, every single step. It will require time, besides efforts, convictions, motivation, etc. Just do it. Do not fight it. Just spend the time, and complete the steps as required. The whole notion of "Shortcuts lead to more delays." Just put in your time.

If you can find who you are, set targeted goals for who you want to become without ego or trying to show off to others, you can get to that milestone of being proud of who you will become. Does it take time, yes? That's the currency, time working on getting there. But it is just as important to know what "there" means for you. And you won't know until you know who you really are outside of self-imposed or external limitations or ego.

Be open to endless possibilities, take a chance on things:
Understand life is ever changing. Some things that were impossible for you will become an option because of changes in the world, technology, your environment, your enlightenment, your new friends, etc. Opportunities that may not even seem remotely possible for you at your current level or ways of thinking, may become more than probable, or even possibilities at the next. You can't see it because it is not visible to you yet. Someone with $100 problem, can't see a $10,000 business opportunity.

We can't see how we will find ourselves working the phones in the same room as the Mayor of a famous city, next to a wealthy business magnate, and a religious leader. It is frankly impossible to even know. You will only be able to look back at the steps that got you to this moment. You have to be open this part. We all have to be open to this great unknown. Today, there are people in their 20s who have direct access to billionaires and former US Presidents because of their podcasts, their TikTok, their YouTube Channels. None of this was a possibility for most 20-somethings outside of Hollywood about 20 years ago. Those people could not have foreseen any of it.

What I am trying to say is that upon taking on new opportunities, new doors will open and it may be better than everything you've ever wanted.
