But if you keep pushing for it, eventually there will come a time when the thing you want just sneaks up on you. &amp;nbsp;This moment will be worth it so earn it!&quot; One of the goals I have been passionate about for years is giving a TEDx talk. &amp;nbsp;It has just been something that really intrigued me since I became aware of the conference. So, I did what I now tell thousands of people do when they want something. &amp;nbsp;I wrote this goal down for 6 months and started to take action. But despite my efforts, nothing happened. &amp;nbsp;Well, I shouldn't say nothing because I proceeded to be rejected 5 times straight by TEDx conference planners. It was frustrating. &amp;nbsp;It came to a point where I momentarily doubted the effectiveness of goals. &amp;nbsp;How could I be working the process and not get results? Yet through these frustrations, I kept writing down my goal. &amp;nbsp;And I kept my eye out for opportunities to bring it to fruition. It took longer than I expected, but the opportunity to speak at TEDx recently came. &amp;nbsp;The interesting part was that it came naturally through relationships when I didn't expect it. The lesson I learned is that sometimes there is a delayed nature to goal setting. &amp;nbsp;When results don't come, we tend to think it isn't working. &amp;nbsp;Instead, it just needed time to unfold. In this episode, I talk about how to give yourself a shot to achieve your goals when they take longer than expected.
