RULES AND CONSEQUENCES



Define clear rules and consequences if you do not achieve your goals. This extra drive can motivate you to stay consistent.

It is not the dreams that define us, but the steps we take to realize them.

Micha’s story: Clear rules and consequences on the way to your dream destination

Micha was always someone who dreamed big. Whether it was about his career, his health or his personal development, his goals were always ambitious. But one day he realized that these dreams alone were not enough to achieve his goals. He needed a concrete plan. He found the solution in clear rules and consequences.

The dream concert

Micha was a huge music fan. When he found out that his favorite band was coming to town, he knew he had to be there – in the VIP area! He set himself the goal of saving enough money to buy this exclusive ticket.
But he did not lay down any clear rules or consequences if he did not achieve his goal. The result was predictable: Micha spent the money on other things and only just missed his savings target. The concert took place without him in the VIP area.

The realization

The disappointment of missing the concert hit Micha hard. But it also taught him an important lesson: Without clear rules and consequences, he lacked the structure and commitment to work consistently towards his goals.
He thought about what he could have done differently. For example, if he had set himself the rule of putting €20 in a concert piggy bank every Friday and the consequence of not buying coffee to go for a week if he didn’t, he would probably have been in the VIP section.

The implementation

Micah decided to apply this lesson to other areas of his life. He set himself clear and measurable rules for his fitness goals, learning goals and career goals. He chose realistic consequences that were harsh enough to keep him on track, but not so harsh that they demotivated him.

The success

Over time, Micha found that this approach worked wonders. He achieved his goals faster and with greater satisfaction. He had not only learned what he wanted, but also how he could achieve it.

Micha’s advice

Micha’s story shows that dreams alone are often not enough. They must be supported by clear rules and consequences in order to become reality. It’s not about punishing yourself, but about leading yourself to a better and more focused you.
So the next time you have a goal in mind, think of Micha’s story. Ask yourself not only what you want to achieve, but also how you can achieve it. With clear rules and consequences, your dream can also come true.
