Solutions To Keep Going Nowhere in Life
Goals Down the Drain? 5 Ways to Flush Them Completely
Los Angeles, CA, March 04, 2015 -- For those who feel as if they are going nowhere in
their careers, relationships or fitness, motivational speaker and author Shawn Anderson
playfully offers five tongue-and-cheek solutions to guarantee that you continue to stay on
the path to nowhere.
TIP #1: Set your sites low and set less than spectacular goals.
An alternative option: Be bold! Create a wish list for what you want different in your life.
TIP #2: Be afraid of taking risks and keep doing the same
things over...and over.
An alternative option: Ray Bradbury wrote: “Sometimes
you've got to jump off cliffs and grow wings on the way
down.” If you don't take risks, how is anything great ever
going to happen for you?
TIP #3: Waste time and watch lots of mind-draining TV.
An alternative option: Take one baby-step forward on a goal
every day. Maximize time, and remember that when you take
action, you initiate the possibility of putting into motion
something great.
TIP #4: Act like a victim and blame everyone for your
failures.
An alternative option: Take responsibility for your life…and then decide to change. Start
a daily self-improvement program: 1) exercise, 2) read motivational books, and 3) link up
with empowering people.
TIP #5: Give up because your too tired, old and broke to even start trying now.
An alternative option: As long as your heart is beating, you can still make a difference.
You can still create adventure and success for yourself. It’s all about choosing to make
your like count until the end.
The author of six motivational books, including A Better Life: An Inspiring Story
About Starting Over and Extra Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibilityand
Purpose, Anderson is also the Founder of Extra Mile America and the creator of
“Extra Mile Day” ...a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive
change when we go the extra mile. On November 1, 2014, 527 mayors and cities made

2. the unique declaration and recognized those in their local communities who were going
the extra mile in volunteerism and service.
“Living a life that you love starts with having the courage to quit coasting,” Anderson,
the author of the motivational book Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose
and Overcoming Life’s Chaos, concludes. “Life is fast and short, so why would we ever
choose to waste a single breath living anything that is mediocre?”
