Do some of your goals seem overwhelming sometimes?

As a 20 something I'm here trying to find out which way I wish to turn. The ideas I come up with become so numerous with so little chance of comming true that sometimes it's hard not to feel like screaming!
How do you keep a level head when going towards your goals? Or do you become overwhelmed as well?

I find trying to deal with too many things at once, not matter what the topic of them, to be overwhelming. I find the best way to get something done without feeling like you drowning in it is to just pick one thing that you want to do and just focus on the one thing until you have completed it. Only then should you begin to think about the nest task that you want to take on. Multi-tasking is not natural to humans. They were actually talking about how unnatural multi-tasking is this morning on 100 Huntley Stret.

Multi tasking isn't natural? Do you mean in all cases or simply on the large scale?

Well what they were saying on the TV show is that multi-tasking is causeing global ADD, not like the actually disorder cause by brain chemicals, but it is making everyone that way from the outside in because when you are doing a bunch of things at once you cannot give all of your attention to any one of those things.....I tried to fins the information fromt he tv show online but I can't find it...oh well...I don't think they were referring to low scale multi-tasking like brushing your daughters hair while talking on the phone and cooking supper. They were referring to the larger personal scale of, like, working 2 jobs while also trying to be a housewife and a soccor couch and an in house nurse for a sick relative. The kind of multi-tasking that leaves people with no spare time and spending the little bit they have obsessing over all the things they have to do at the same time the next day.

Some time I will get overwhelmed because the path to success is very hard to achieve indeed. There was never a straight path and I have to figure out a hole or a corner or anything that might be used to go ahead. Sometimes the idea may seem illogical but nevertheless at the end it works. And even more harder I have to make sure everything I do to achieve my goal is totally legal because I am a religion believer. However, I still am determined to achieve it no matter what. Have faith friend, and success will meet you in the end.

Yes, there are many ways to gain what you want that either break the law or are just plain wrong. Sometimes it seems as if it's just too hard without these ways when you see others doing just that. However, I think part of it all is to test us and make sure we are worthy of what we want out of life.
