Are there unattainable goals? How to open a topic

(382 words) A person always needs a goal for which to live and overcome difficulties along the way. Everyone chooses a goal that suits their ambitions, their character and their ideology. Some people dream about great things, others about small things, like family or work. But life always develops regardless of a person’s aspirations, and sometimes the goal that a person pursues may turn out to be unattainable. There are a great many examples of this kind in Russian literature.

So, F.M. Dostoevsky in his novel Crime and Punishment depicts the fate of a modest student Rodion Raskolnikov. Living in poverty, without the opportunity to study, knowing about the difficulties that his sister and mother have to endure, the main character falls under the influence of the idea of \u200b\u200b"evil for a good purpose." He planned to kill the vile old woman in order to use her money to provide a bright future for himself and his loved ones, and then change the rest of the world for the better. However, according to Dostoevsky, Raskolnikov’s goal is blasphemous and unattainable. Only an impartial God, in whose eyes all people are equal, has the right to decide the fate of man. Dividing people into “those who have the right” and “trembling creatures,” the hero of the novel goes against the orders of the entire universe, against his own nature. In the finale, experiencing terrible mental anguish, he surrenders to the authorities, and then renounces his theory. “All the happiness in the world is not worth a child’s tear,” said Dostoevsky. Using the example of his hero, the writer showed that there is a line that a person should not and cannot cross.

Radically opposite to Raskolnikov is Yuri Zhivago’s character B.L. Pasternak in the novel “Doctor Zhivago”. He had to live in difficult times, the First World War escalated into two revolutions that shook the state to its core. Against the backdrop of political cataclysms, the main character sets himself one single goal - to save his family and survive this difficult period. However, this is not so easy; hunger forces the Zhivago family to leave Moscow and move to Siberia, where they barely make ends meet. After this, Yuri is taken into a partisan detachment, forever separated from his family. Moreover, the main character himself falls in love with another woman and is tormented by the need to choose between his family and his beloved. Life throws the doctor like a rag doll; at the end of the novel, he loses his family, his beloved, sinks to the very bottom of society and dies of a heart attack. Zhivago did not dream of great things; he set himself a modest goal, but external circumstances turned out to be stronger.

According to Dostoevsky and Pasternak, an individual person is weak, helpless and completely dependent on the world around him. After all, neither the ambitious dreamer Raskolnikov nor the modest family man Zhivago could overcome fate and achieve their goals.

“Goals and means” - this is the third direction proposed for eleventh-graders for the final essay. Let’s try to figure out together what questions we should ask ourselves, what works we should remember, so that we can choose a topic from this direction without fear or doubt.

FIPI comment:

The concepts of this direction are interrelated and allow us to think about a person’s life aspirations, the importance of meaningful goal setting, the ability to correctly correlate the goal and the means of achieving it, as well as the ethical assessment of human actions.

Many literary works feature characters who deliberately or mistakenly choose unsuitable means to realize their plans. And it often turns out that a good goal only serves as a cover for true (base) plans. Such characters are contrasted with heroes for whom the means of achieving a high goal are inseparable from the requirements of morality.

Vocabulary work

“Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language” by S. I. Ozhegov and N. Yu. Shvedova:
A GOAL is an object of aspiration, what is needed, it is desirable to achieve.
MEANS - a technique, a method of action to achieve something.

Synonyms
Target- task, aspiration, intention, dream.
Means- way, technique, method of achieving (goal).

What might the goals be?

Noble (serving the ideals of goodness, justice; the Motherland and the people)
Low (selfish, selfish, disfiguring the human soul)

As part of this thematic area, schoolchildren are invited to reflect on life guidelines and human priorities. When choosing their own path, everyone makes decisions, sets goals and goes towards them. Both goals and means of achieving them are different.

By what goals a person sets for himself, one can judge his life priorities and what he sees as the meaning of life.

What is more important for a person - selfless help to people, serving the ideals of goodness, or acquisitiveness, selfish life “for oneself”, an unprincipled desire to “go over the head” to achieve one’s goal? This is exactly the question he poses to his heroes. V. Rozov in the play “The Wood Grouse’s Nest”.

The author's focus is on the family of a major party worker, Sudakov. His daughter Iskra works in the newspaper's letters department, where there is an endless stream of complaints and requests for help from desperate people. The girl devotes all her free time to sorting out correspondence, answering letters and helping people; in this she sees her calling and purpose. Her husband, Georgy Yasyunin, a “young, promising” resident of Ryazan, whose name his native village will one day certainly be named, is building a career with the same dedication. Having grown up in poverty, he tries with all his might to become one of the people, while having no moral restrictions on the means of achieving his goal. Iskra's family, who warmly welcomed him, became such a means for him. Arriving at Sudakov’s house as a half-starved, downtrodden and helpful young man, Yegor spread his wings, and not without Sudakov’s support, he began to quickly move up the career ladder and finally surpassed his benefactor. Frankly with his mistress Ariadne, Yegor admits that he never loved Iskra and married her only out of gratitude for the human concern and help she provided: “I, of course, treated her well, and, I won’t lie, entering this house didn’t seem like something terrible to me either, I would even say, on the contrary. But all this, you understand, was wrong, a mistake. And now, when all this nonsense fell away, when I had completely, as they say, acclimatized, I suddenly realized: ah-ah-ah, what did I do, how wrong I behaved. I confused ordinary human sympathy and gratitude for it with love.”. However, it’s hard to believe that Yegor knows how to be grateful. Having received everything possible from Sudakov, he considers him and life in his family a “passed stage”: “...now I have to enter a new phase. Otherwise, that’s it, the end, the lid, then the bottom, the border of the final station.”. The family of his new boss Koromyslov, Ariadne’s father, will later become exactly the same means to achieve his goal for Yegor. She is young and naive, so she does not understand Iskra’s warning words about Yegor’s true face: “He will trample you, wipe his feet on you and walk over you.”.

According to Natalya Gavrilovna, Iskra’s mother, the most dangerous people are such cynical and unprincipled people, ready to go over the heads of even those people who helped them.

Sudakov cannot believe that his son-in-law can betray his family and him personally: “Egor won’t go anywhere, he doesn’t have that in his mind. In the end, he won’t leave because of me, he’s attached to me, he loves me.”, he says to his wife. However, Sudakov is mistaken - Egor does not know such feelings as affection and gratitude. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. As soon as Yegor receives an appointment to a higher position, his fellow sycophant Zolotarev comes to congratulate him, formulating the attitude of this type of people like him and Yasyunin towards others: “But actually, don’t give a damn about them. Old stuff is just old stuff. What is he to you now, right? Relatives, and only... Yesterday’s roast.” Family relationships for such people do not play any role, love will not make their heart tremble either, gratitude is unfamiliar to them, and a person is interesting only as long as one can get benefits with his help.

At the end of the play, Yegor is expelled from the Sudakovs’ house; even to the arriving guests, after an awkward pause, he is introduced as “Georgy Samsonovich Yasyunin, neighbor.” And this is fair, because a person who cynically turns others into a means of achieving his goals is doomed to loneliness.

Aphorisms and sayings of famous people:

To whom the goal is permitted, the means are also permitted. (Herman Busenbaum, Jesuit)
Some Jesuits argue that any means is good as long as the goal is achieved. Not true! Not true! It is unworthy to enter a clean temple with feet defiled by the mud of the road. (I. S. Turgenev)
No goal is so high as to justify unworthy means to achieve it. (A. Einstein)
Let no one stray one step from the honest path under the plausible pretext that it is justified by a noble goal. Any wonderful goal can be achieved by honest means. And if you can’t, then this goal is bad. (C. Dickens)
No person can be a means to another person's ends. (E. Fromm)
A purposeful person finds means, and when he cannot find them, he creates them. (W. Channing)
Happy is the one who has a goal and sees the meaning of life in this. (F. Schelling)
For a man who does not know which harbor he is heading for, no wind will be favorable. (Seneca)
If you are heading towards your goal and stop along the way to throw stones at every dog that barks at you, you will never reach your goal. (F. M. Dostoevsky)
When it seems to you that a goal is unattainable, do not change the goal - change your action plan. (Confucius)
You need to set yourself tasks that are higher than your strengths: firstly, because you never know them anyway, and secondly, because strength appears as you complete an unattainable task. (B. L. Pasternak)
If selfish well-being is the only goal of life, life quickly becomes purposeless. (R. Rolland)

What questions are worth thinking about?

Why is it important to have a purpose in life?
Can a person live without a goal?
What can a lack of purpose in a person’s life lead to?
Why is aimless existence dangerous?
What helps a person achieve his goal?
Are there unattainable goals?
What is the difference between a dream and a goal?
Is it possible to judge a person by what goals he sets for himself?
Achieving what goal can bring satisfaction?
Can a goal justify the means to achieve it?
When does achieving a goal not bring happiness?

In addition to the fact that unattainable heights prevent you from enjoying life, they can cause depression and prevent you from achieving your goals. After all, it is very unpleasant: to put all your efforts and as a result achieve nothing. Therefore, before you strive for something, think about how to do it, and whether you have everything to successfully resolve the issue. In some cases, it’s worth making a plan and just starting to act, stopping putting everything off until tomorrow.

Guilt

This is not the best of all feelings, and in principle, it often hinders rather than serves positive changes. An unreasonable feeling of guilt does not allow you to feel fully happy. Justified guilt pulls you into the past and forces you to mentally return to an unpleasant moment, reliving it. This feeling means that we ourselves cannot forgive ourselves for something, which is already a pointless waste of nerves. The past cannot be returned. And by analyzing your mistakes and, perhaps, asking for forgiveness, you will not make them in the future. After all, an adult is different in that he can avoid bringing his affairs into conflict and correctly sort out relationships with loved ones.

Anger and resentment

Feelings that will literally poison you and your life. Because of resentment, a desire to take revenge may arise, which in itself does not lead to anything good and quite often leaves the avenger with nothing. Moreover, resentment and anger close many doors for us, for example, because they will force us to meet this person and interact with him. Anger and resentment tend to blind without reason. Therefore, either forgive the person or erase him from your life, but be sure to resolve the conflict and bring it to completion.

Victim's position

Sometimes you can see that a person is trapped in a relationship that torments him, or in an unloved job that he only dreams of quitting. Of course, for many this evokes sympathy and a desire to support, which is fair and humanly good. But the problem is that a person drives himself into such a situation. And sometimes it is not beneficial for him to part with her: after all, to be a victim means to arouse regret, to feel sorry for oneself and to always have an excuse for inaction. If you find yourself in this situation, just change your life. Quit your job and find another partner. Break up with those who bother you, and don’t be afraid of loneliness: there are too many people not to find friends and love.

The habit of relying on other people's opinions

It is impossible to get rid of it, that’s for sure: we live in society, not alone. It is absolutely necessary for a person, but to be under the strong constant influence of the opinions of others means to suppress oneself. Is it possible to enjoy life in this case? Obviously not. For happiness in life, self-awareness and self-realization are necessary, which are essentially impossible to fully achieve in people who are heavily dependent on the opinions of others, even if they are close people.

If you are faced with the problem of dependence on public opinion, do not be alarmed: you will definitely have enough strength to cope with it. You just need to know a couple of tricks. All the best, and don't forget to press the buttons and

At first glance, goals are similar to desires. “I want to become a racer”, “I want to do repairs”, etc. – is this a desire or a goal? This is a desire that will remain so if we do nothing to realize it. A goal is a desire combined with action.

Every person has goals. For some they are small and mundane, for others they are global and sublime. And everyone dreams of getting what they want, but for many, dreams remain dreams.

“Beware of your wishes - they tend to come true,” warned the Chinese sage. Why be afraid? Because ill-conceived, abstract wishes, without specifying details, are often fulfilled, but in such a way that we are no longer glad that we made them. “We didn’t mean it at all,” we say about the consequences, having no idea what to do with them now. For example, one employee, having become a widow, passionately dreamed of getting married again. And she did get out, but now she has another dream - to get a divorce. Her dream of marriage came true, but her husband turned out to be stingy, petty and quarrelsome.

The main reason why this happens is the wrong goal setting. Correctly formed goals provide half the success.

The most common mistakes when setting goals.

1. Setting unrealistic, unattainable goals

For example, our goal is to earn 30 thousand dollars in three months. This is unlikely, because now our earnings do not exceed a thousand dollars a month. Deep down in our souls, we ourselves understand this, and therefore the motivation to achieve the goal will be weak. A more realistic goal is to double or triple our income.

You can dream of losing an extra 20 kg, but it’s one thing to plan to do it during the year, and another thing to do it by the beach season, when it’s May. This is unrealistic without harm to health. Or, working as a courier, you can dream of becoming a general director. But for most, this goal will be too high. Only a few enthusiasts are able to consistently and persistently achieve it.

True, there is a saying: “The bad soldier is the one who does not dream of becoming a general.” Indeed, the best generals are made from those who began their service as privates.

An example from life: a young security guard originally from a provincial town worked in one publishing house. He had a higher education - he graduated from the physics department of the university, but did not want to work at school, and there were no other vacancies at that time. He stood out among the others, as they say, with his sparkling eyes and passion. It was clear that he would not work in security all his life. His abilities and desire to learn were noticed and over time he was offered a position in the department, and then the opportunity to receive a free legal education. Subsequently, he headed a department, then a branch, and then one of the publishing houses and moved to the capital, where he bought an apartment.

The man set a high bar for himself and reached the heights, and is now preparing for a new one. But, firstly, there are few such purposeful people. And secondly, this did not happen quickly - “at the behest of the pike, according to my desire.” It took him 15 years.

For most people, global goals cause fear of not being able to cope; at the first failures, they give up and become depressed.

So, we need to set goals that we believe will be achieved. However, when forming them, it is still worth setting the bar a little higher than the desired result. Over time, we will see that we have achieved more than we planned.

2. Negative approach to goal setting

One day, the famous nun Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to serving the sick and disadvantaged, was invited to a rally against the war. She replied: “I will never go to a rally against war, but I will definitely go to a rally for peace!”

That is, when we speak out “against”, we feed with our energy what we are going to fight against, because our attention is focused on the negative, and vice versa. For example, instead of “I don’t want to get sick,” you should say “I want to be healthy.”

Psychologists believe that in most cases, when people talk about what they don’t want, they have not yet decided what they need and cannot clearly formulate a goal, and therefore, achieve it. They are interested in how to get rid of what they don’t like: dependence on other people’s opinions, outdated relationships, etc. They know well what they want to get away from, but do not think about where they want to go. We take this into account when forming our goals and replace negative attitudes with positive ones.

3. Replacing your goals with those of others

Each of us has many plans, and therefore goals: to learn, get a job, achieve, buy, go, see, and - and we need to do everything in time. Everywhere you look, there are advertisements with tempting offers - one better than the other. Parents know better than us what we need, because “I always dreamed of becoming a doctor, but I didn’t have the opportunity, so you, my child, should become a doctor, because I gave birth to you.” A friend was on vacation and says that there is no happiness in life except in Bali - be sure to go. A neighbor bought a fur coat, and now all her friends urgently needed it.

And here there is a great danger of becoming infected with other people’s goals, of doing what we essentially don’t need, of following someone else’s path, and not seeing our own behind the imposed desires and goals.

All our friends have crossovers, but we have Smart. And although we are quite happy with this economical mini-car, we feel like a black sheep and set ourselves the goal of becoming the owner of a prestigious Hyundai next year, although we planned to spend the money on a second education. Surely the purchase will bring us joy, but if there was no particular need for it at the moment, and the lack of the necessary education will cancel out important plans, then mental discomfort cannot be avoided.

When setting goals, we listen to what our inner voice tells us: is this our goal or not. Other people's goals usually cause internal resistance, and their implementation does not bring the same sense of satisfaction as achieving your own.

4. Too many goals

Life is short, so you want to get everything at once. There are a lot of desires, and goals too. We grab onto one thing, another, a third, we suffer defeat and become disappointed - in ourselves, our abilities, life. And now we have already labeled ourselves as failures in life, we believed it ourselves and convinced others.

Or maybe the fact is that we simply could not set priorities, highlight the main thing, draw up an action plan, because it seems to us that a plan is so boring.

Figuratively speaking, it is impossible to climb two peaks at the same time. It’s the same with goals - we highlight what is most important to us and go from “general to specific.” The “goal tree” will help us here. By the way, a “tree of goals” is compiled in every self-respecting organization and enterprise, only it is more complex and “branched” than the one that an ordinary person who is planning his goals can create for himself.

At the top of our tree we have the main goal - what we want to get as a result of our efforts. For example, material wealth. Goals depart from it, as branches, that will contribute to the implementation of the main one - active income, passive and random. From each secondary goal, smaller branches (goals) can branch off, specifying these sources of income. For example, our active income will consist of salaries and part-time jobs, passive income will come from interest on deposits, and random income will be gifts. By actively working on each “branch”, we will achieve the goal - material well-being.

5. Setting a goal is not specific.

How do we usually formulate a goal? “Starting tomorrow I’ll start running”, “Starting Monday I’ll try to study English”, “Maybe I’ll be able to earn more.” And it is not surprising that none of them will ever be realized, because both the goal itself and its formulation are vague.

The lack of specifics indicates a lack of goal, and without a clear goal there is nothing to expect results. At the same time, as soon as we formulate a specific goal, our brain will immediately begin to give us tips on how to implement it. And there will be opportunities, time, and money.

By the way, in management, the SMART method is widely used when setting goals. Its name is an abbreviation of the first letters of the English words: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timed. The word smart itself is translated as “smart”.

Thus, in order to avoid making a mistake and set a “smart” goal, you need to formulate it so that it first of all meets these five main criteria.

This article will tell you about the main patterns and reasons for the unattainability of the goals that you set for yourself. Sooner or later, each of us experiences irresponsibility in life when we are not sufficiently aware of the importance of events. All the conclusions that you will read below are obtained from the personal experience of many people - scientific research, psychologists’ conclusions and simple observations from life show the influence of irresponsibility and laziness on our lives.

In essence, irresponsibility is the inability and lack of desire to be responsible for one’s own actions and words, the inability to care for loved ones and things. Sometimes we are too lazy to even think about ourselves, which is not good for us. Constantly staying in illusions and dreams while sitting at home does not entail concrete actions, which means that a person stops his development, irresponsibility and laziness take over. Of course, each case of a person’s unconscious life is individual, but nothing is impossible in the world, each of us is capable of starting life from scratch at any age and achieving stunning heights. Therefore, you will learn about the reasons for your own failures and how to overcome them. Also, we will talk about all the reasons for irresponsibility in life, and ways to overcome vices in achieving what you want.

Irresponsibility in people's lives - failure to fulfill, negligent attitude towards obligations, lifestyle and people around, lack of responsibility for personal life, past, present and future. Naturally, the future life of people with this lifestyle is also not particularly exciting.

From an esoteric point of view, lack of responsibility for life means lack of will and inability to do anything constructive. Remember - only responsibility combined with energetic strength gives us will and self-development. The Mannipur and Ajna chakras are responsible for this, which are located at the level of the stomach and head and stimulate a person to create and strive for the best.

An irresponsible person is deeply unhappy and lonely, closing himself inside. Over time, such people cease to control their lives and no longer notice how difficult their situation is in society and in relation to themselves. A careless, lazy individual slowly floats with the flow, which he absolutely does not like, without even trying to break out into a different plane. Here any goal becomes unattainable, especially in the case of a weak character. The person becomes a puppet in the crowd, controlled by individuals from the podium.

However, irresponsibility and laziness- not innate qualities acquired throughout existence. There can be many reasons for such irresponsibility in life - an accident with a loved one, lack of motivation, alcoholism, low self-esteem, a change in worldview and other negativity.

Causes of irresponsibility and negligence

The main reason for personal failure is poor upbringing. Yes, it’s banal, but childhood is the starting point of every person. If parents do not teach the younger generation education, manners, awareness and responsibility, do not expect constructivism from this person. An ill-mannered individual does not even realize his own mistakes until someone explains the essence of the problem - with age, both rights and responsibilities appear.

If not upbringing, then a bad environment is the second reason. Around you you see strong people who strive for self-development, new positions and success - there will be no irresponsibility in life. Mutual assistance stimulates development, and examples of correctly set goals enrich you. On the other hand, if such a society does everything for you, a person, without realizing it, stops doing any useful things, further becoming an unnecessary part of society. That is, if something doesn’t work out for you, others do it. So over time, everything stops working out, and the advice of others only gets on your nerves. Oddly enough, usually such an environment consists of mothers, grandmothers and other relatives who are trying to protect their child from external negativity. Remember - this is how you give up, and a heap of irresponsibility and laziness fills your heart.

The next reason for human connivance is the inability to think correctly and draw conclusions. Any action of an individual entails consequences that cannot always be predicted. But, if you do not understand the results of your own actions, or do not consider it important, your character will become careless and irresponsible. Such individuals prefer to live today and do not think about tomorrow. It is important to recognize such total laziness in time, or to seek help from others.

Fear, selfishness and lack of will

Fear deprives us of freedom, being the fourth cause of irresponsibility. Responsibility involves taking care of your own life and making decisions wisely, but sometimes it is scary. Many of us shy away from responsibility out of fear of the consequences. Of course, fear is the consequences of negative experiences that all people adopt several times. At the same time, the experience can be extremely sad - the death of a pet, damage to expensive property, failure in business, etc. Such consequences lead to irresponsibility and inertia, which are eliminated over time, and even then this is not a fact. Irresponsibility in life due to fear is the most unjust cause of human negligence. In this situation, the main thing is psychological help.

The human vice of selfishness- the fifth reason for irresponsibility that always accompanies an individual. This vice is inherent in everyone to a greater or lesser extent, but negligence and inaction are retained by a person only to please himself. Such a vice must have clear boundaries, but irresponsibility has no such boundaries. Such a person will promise to write a symphony for you and give you a million, but in reality he will stay at home watching a movie, forgetting about everything that happened between you. Avoid such individuals - if you get nothing, at least you will save your nervous system.

Lack of will- the final cause of many human vices. The concept of will can characterize desire, desire and practical action for the benefit of oneself and others. We get up every morning and are fueled with enthusiasm for new achievements, knowing that there are no unattainable goals! But, if your self-esteem has fallen to the bottom, and indecision prohibits you from crossing the threshold of your own home, lack of will has won. Such individuals blame others for failures and cannot assess the situation fairly. Praising oneself is also a rather rare occurrence, blaming the entire globe for low self-esteem. A weak-willed person is constantly looking for other people who can make him happy, without realizing the main reason in himself.

Problems and types of irresponsibility in the modern world

The huge amount of irresponsibility in society today is the main problem of the younger generation. More and more people live for themselves and their own needs, forgetting their acquaintances, many friends and even relatives. We have ceased to be aware of the concept of responsibility to the environment and the whole world, becoming soulless snobs for the sake of our whims.

Responsibility- one of the most important human qualities at all times, like hard work, organization, and patience.

The problem of irresponsibility today is disturbing society - the modern generation, thanks to technology and the world of the Internet, has ceased to realize the importance of the world around us, doing everything solely for its own sake. We have stopped taking responsibility because we are afraid, and sometimes we don’t even understand what it is. This leads to callousness and callousness and living for one’s own sake, abandoning the team and all relatives and friends. This is how collective irresponsibility manifests itself.

Irresponsibility in life affects the individual’s environment, expressed in a complex reluctance to do good for oneself and others, by shifting responsibility for affairs to strangers. Problems and stereotypes of this negativity are born during the habit of postponing things until later. Many people tend to procrastinate, enjoy inactivity and relax. We like to be late, drink coffee before work, smoke a cigarette, and only then take on important tasks - this is what sociological research says. At the same time, many do not realize how to correctly set goals in life, but at the same time they put themselves on display.

Irresponsibility in the family

In married couples, divorces often occur due to the irresponsibility of one of the spouses - a high coefficient of laziness, lack of consciousness and negligence towards a loved one has already destroyed many families. Human infantility rushes ahead of the family, which leads to alcoholism, unwillingness to work, infidelity and divorce. Many men do not want to take responsibility for maintaining a child, and not every woman agrees to give birth. Every day a young child needs food, warmth and care, which adults disdain because of their own busyness. Growing up without a father or mother is not the most pleasant thing for a child, who may grow up handicapped. Remember: we are responsible for those we have tamed, and irresponsibility in family life is one of the worst qualities of a person. Of course, a woman is a more responsible person than a man, but a young man’s ambitions hit his family in search of a better life. Men tend to walk a lot, not being responsible for their woman, and sometimes completely forgetting about home.

Main- do not succumb to every moment of weakness in life and do not swear. Remember - you have connected your whole life with this person, continue the family line and become a happy person. Both spouses are only required to take care of themselves, not do too much and please themselves and those around them. Each of us, deep down in our souls, strives for a good family and love. You should never leave your family or reject your relatives, because only they will come to the rescue in the most difficult times. Irresponsibility in the life of a family man is cured by strong ties of loved ones who are able to prove your need in this world.

Vices must be defeated

As the character of Alexei Buldakov said in the film “Peculiarities of National Fishing” - all diseases are caused by lack of culture. The same can be said about irresponsibility - infantilism, negligence and selfishness flourish where self-development is stopped. Therefore, motivate yourself, find interesting goals and set tasks. Nothing is impossible for a person, there are only limits of doubt. How to get rid of unconsciousness and force yourself to act?

Document your goals- Write everything you want to achieve with a pen and paper.
Don't sit still, start cleaning your apartment, go out to the store, meet old friends - take action.
Watch motivational films, listen and read books.
Constantly educate yourself— self-knowledge leads to self-development, knowledge expands human capabilities.
Finish what you start and keep your promises- in this way, a personality is built, accumulating responsibility, becoming saturated with experience and the energy of life.
Think, think a lot. Try to predict the consequences of your own and other actions. Calculate every step, work for the result. Plan your own actions, take care of your family.
Count and value your time, stop wasting your life! The richer a person is, the more he values every minute - think about it.
Conquer your fears, breathe easily, feel freedom. Make decisions boldly and don’t think about possible judgments from others.
It's time to grow up! An adult, accomplished person cannot be irresponsible, study psychology, develop.
No unattainable goals– there is a high coefficient of laziness, a lack of ingenuity and a stock of excuses!

For each of us, there is nothing stronger than motivation, which can level out irresponsibility in life and put the individual on the path to development. What are some ways to get yourself interested and motivated to improve your personality?

Visual motivation. Are you overweight, have given up, and are feeling less and less positive? Stick a picture of a male or female model in a swimsuit with a perfectly slim figure on the refrigerator. It will force you to think on every food route, motivating you to do the right thing.
Create a personal ideal and guidelines. This will allow you to take care of both yourself and long-term projects that may be intimidating in scale. Divide everything into short segments and look for ways to pass each one. Start slowly - pick up an interesting book, plan to read a few chapters, and eventually put the information you learn into practice. Next, check out the continuation and so on.
Look for like-minded people in your favorite business. Irresponsibility in life leads to loss of social circle, which negatively affects personal growth and self-development. Today there are many social networks, forums and places for simple human communication. The best option is if you find friends who love your business and your ideas. It doesn’t matter what it is - weaving baubles, a car engine, new weapons for our army, or diapers for a child - the interlocutors will always help and advise. Find as many people as possible who are interested in you.
Get organized. Reminders, diaries, planners and other written items will help you achieve your plans. Today you have the opportunity to purchase a similar book for every taste - many people like to write down their successes and achievements in a notebook made of hard paper, covered with genuine leather. Also, set an alarm clock on your phone that rings incessantly to wake you up. Play your favorite music and go for a run - it also helps.
Failure is not the end of the world! The goal becomes unattainable if motivation and desire to work decline and failure occurs. But remember, this is also an experience, and not always a negative one. If you stumble, next time you will step over or go around the hole. The main thing is not to stop and move forward.

Irresponsibility in life: conclusions

Irresponsibility is an acquired human vice that does not arise just like that. Analyze the situation and look for the reason for failure. Abuse of life occurs as a result of refraction of self-development and loss of motivation. Perhaps you yourself are to blame for this, perhaps the people around you, or maybe some very negative moment. But you should never give up and treat yourself negligently. You can lie on the couch all your life, but then don’t ask where your neighbor got a new Mercedes, or where your childhood friend got his own yacht and hotel in the Maldives. Only personal actions lead to personal growth and self-development, spurred by self-education and motivation.

Avoid disputes and conflicts. especially in an incompetent society, where the truth is that the interlocutor can invent anything. Remember - any negativity leads to personality decay. Look deep into the spiritual world, get yourself interested, find old hobbies, aspirations and other factors that will make you move. Irresponsibility in life does not come from good manners - a person is prone to suffering and worries, but nothing can stop you except yourself. The main thing is to realize and set goals that no one has yet achieved and move forward every day.
