Introduction
When facing any challenge, it is important to attack it with all our might. Focusing all our efforts on the challenge is the only path to victory. As stated in the June 2, 2017, issue of the World Tribune, “The basic strategy in any struggle is to tackle it with all-out effort.” This isn’t just about achieving success—it’s about enjoying the journey as well.
We live in times that demand resilience, clarity, and emotional strength. Setting goals is essential, but staying joyful in the process is what keeps us going. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your inner power—your Biddability—this guide is for you.
Let’s explore 3 simple yet powerful steps to reclaim your momentum, set purposeful goals, and experience the happiness that comes from steady progress.
Step 1: Set Meaningful Goals with Clarity and Intention
Many people set goals based on what others are doing or what society expects. The first step is to ask yourself: What do I truly desire? Not what looks good on social media or sounds impressive to others, but what lights you up from within.
Use visualization techniques to imagine the version of yourself who has already achieved the goal. Journal about this version of you: How do you feel? How do you spend your day? Who are you helping through your success?
Setting goals from a place of clarity connects you to your purpose. When your goals reflect your true self, every step becomes meaningful. You feel less pressure and more inspiration. You don’t chase goals to prove something; you walk toward them because they are aligned with your values.
Step 2: Get Unstuck with Actionable Micro-Steps
Feeling stuck is a signal—not a life sentence. The key is to break inertia with micro-steps. These are tiny, manageable actions that help you build momentum.
If your goal is to write a book, don’t wait for the perfect chapter. Start with a 10-minute brainstorm.
If you want to start meditating daily, begin with 2 minutes before bed.
If you wish to change your job, update one section of your resume today.
Micro-steps are powerful because they trick your brain into seeing progress. And when you see progress, your confidence grows. As your confidence grows, so does your joy.
Remember: happiness comes not from the end result alone, but from the sense that you are moving forward.
Step 3: Practice Presence and Emotional Balance
Setting and achieving goals doesn’t mean pushing yourself to burnout. True success includes peace of mind. The question is: Can you stay calm and centered while pursuing big things?
Meditation, breathwork, journaling, or chanting (as in Nichiren Buddhism) can be powerful tools. When you regularly connect with your inner self, you realize that you are already whole. You are not setting goals to be worthy; you are already worthy.
Let your goals emerge from love, not lack. Let the process be joyful, not just productive. You are not a machine; you are a creative being. Allow room for rest, reflection, and celebration of the small wins.
Feeling Stuck? You Can Change Your Life
If you’ve lost sight of your Buddhability—your ability to change your life from within—know that it’s not gone. It’s simply waiting for you to return to it.
Take a deep breath. Reclaim your power.
Choose a goal that matters to you.
Take a tiny action today.
Celebrate it.
Then do it again tomorrow.
This is how momentum builds.
This is how happiness returns.
This is how you become unstoppable.
