Life is a game of numbers; therefore, everything we do has some numerical value associated to it, whether it be in reference to time, money, effort, etc. there is always a number to go back to. This same fact about life is why many of us never reach the goals we set in place, because we misuse the strategies that quantify our next move.

6 Reasons Why People Never Achieve Their Goals

The 80/20 rule is something many successful individuals are familiar with; however, I would like to reference this in a bit of a unique way. The 80/20 rule emphasizes the amount of time we spend thinking about either the ‘blissful’ or ‘inadequate’ aspects of our being. In other words, 80% of the time we are to think about the things we are good at and thankful for, while the remaining 20% of the time is left for that which may call for improvement.

How does this way of thinking help perpetuate goal achievement?
