How to Keep Going Higher And Higher

By Kuldip K. Rai

“None of us want to be pushed or forced. Instead, we want to be inspired, gently coaxed, and encouraged to achieve our targets, attain high ideals, and turn the impossible into the possible. Inspirations and motivations do the work of coaxing, encouraging, stimulating, uplifting or cheering on.”

We all aspire to reach lofty heights and fulfill our nature-given potential. We all want the best life can offer. Don’t we? How can we achieve what we want? How can we keep reaching higher and higher in life? For one thing, nothing lasts forever; our life is short. Therefore, we can’t say that we must aim to keep reaching higher and higher forever.

No matter whether you want to keep achieving your personal goals, have professional success, or keep improving yourself as long as you can, make your journey towards reaching new heights a continuous one. In this post, I will explore practical strategies, principles, and mindsets that can help navigate you through your life better and lead you toward your passions and purposes.

Set Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound Goals

To reach higher and higher in life, you need a clear path to follow. You must know what your targets are. If you don’t know where you are heading, how will you get there? Do you have enough goals? “If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things,” says Lou Holtz, “you don’t have enough goals.” When you choose your goals, make sure they are ambitious and meaningful and align with your values, interests, and life purposes. Set yourself both short-term and long-term goals, and break them down into immediate actionable steps. When you set measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound goals (SMART goals), you create a roadmap that pushes you forward toward your destination. Keep reviewing and adjusting your goals, and ensure they remain challenging but attainable.

Have a Growth Mindset

Your growth stops without a growth mindset. Believe. Through dedicated hustle and determination, you can further develop your intelligence and abilities. Learn to face challenges head on; they are stepping stones and valuable lessons in disguise for your growth and achievement. “In a growth mindset,” says Carol Dweck, “challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I’m going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here’s a chance to grow.” Yes. When you get excited about your challenges, things begin to happen and growth becomes a game that you love to play every single day.

Focus on How You Can Go Higher

“When you intensely focus on ‘How can I do something’ or ‘How can I go around my limitation,’ the path to achievement starts to form, and the answers to how to go around your handicaps and limitations begin to appear. Your tenacious pieces of training and practices begin to make you stronger; your courageous actions after actions start turning impossibilities into possibilities.”

Keep Learning Every Day

To keep rising higher and higher, you must commit yourself to lifelong learning and skill development. Keep acquiring more and more knowledge, exploring diverse areas of interest, and challenging yourself to step outside your comfort zones. Embrace curiosity and seek new experiences. Join like-minded clubs or communities. Seek out mentors. Who are the experts in your field? Read biographies and autobiographies of famous individuals or the people who have succeeded in your field. Invest in courses, books, and workshops that expand your horizons and move you on to higher plateaus. Keep doing the work and keep loving it. Keep making unending efforts; continue learning; persevere.

Failure: No Matter, Setbacks: No Problem

Failure is an indispensable part of growth. Without failures and setbacks, growth isn’t possible. Understand that failure is a valuable teacher and an opportunity to learn. However, observe why you failed, what went wrong, and never fail to learn from your failures. Acutely analyze your setbacks; identify the lessons you learned and use them to refine your approach. Be resilient and bounce back higher than ever before, wiser and stronger. Many great achievements are the offspring of repeated failures.

Surround Yourself with Positive People

This can be a tough one. The world abounds with negative people; they are everywhere in every corner of the world. To a degree, the company you keep makes you who you are. Become acquainted with more positive people, teachers, and supportive individuals who inspire and push you higher. Who are they? Seek out people who have achieved what you want to attain. Are there communities and networks nearby you that foster growth and encourage collaboration? Wisely and boldly, let go of toxic people that hinder your progress. Choose relationships and connections that uplift and motivate you, and take you higher and higher in terms of growth, success, and happiness.

Embrace Change and Be Flexible in Your Approach

The world and the people in it are changing at a rapid speed than ever before. Those who fail to change and adapt get left behind. In our evolving world, flexibility and openness to evolving ideas, concepts, and ways are utterly important. Stubbornly being stuck to primitive ways of doing things will not make you climb higher in this ever so competitive world. Be the one who embraces a flexible approach, steps out of his comfort zones and reinvents himself. Opportunities for growth are everywhere; look for them and you will find them. Be proactive and seek innovative solutions to your setbacks and problems.

“Almost everything is changeable, improvable, and achievable unless the laws of nature prevent it from happening.”

Take Care of Your Health Too

Health is wealth and happiness. Pay attention to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Take care of yourself. Exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, and get enough rest and sleep. To improve your mental well-being, practice mindfulness, meditation, and stress management techniques. Without energy and physical strength, many things we want to accomplish in our lives will remain unaccomplished.

Three Points to Remember:

1. Set goals.

2. Adopt a growth mindset.

3. Seek knowledge and build a supporting network of people.
