Why do people try to talk down my goals?

Hey, I have such big goals and, ever since I was little, I've wanted to be big. I told Christian TikTokers what I was up to, and they thought it was exaggerating and were really annoyed, saying I was neglecting God. I've always been like that since I was little and have goals in life that I want to pursue. And when I do achieve something and am proud of it, they find it weird, and I told them I'm ambitious, and they said, no, you're not, I don't see any ambition in you.

If I don't achieve certain goals within this time frame, I feel completely overwhelmed and then I hate it and put myself under pressure.

From a young age I've always strived for greater things and have goals.

Religious people have their own view of things and love to make people small. You have to do what you’re doing well (as long as you don’t hurt other beings). Religion is a private thing that you can live for yourself. But constantly publicly exaggerating them is toxic. Your goals are your personal thing. Don’t let others demotivate you.

That’s what it should be. That one rejoices for other people or helps them. It is a pity that some groups also use religion to awaken guilt or destroy self-confidence.

from “trick” it was clear. You don’t need to pay attention to such people. What these say has no more value than a dog bag

Whether you set goals or dream, you can check with the SMART formula. A “smart” formulated goal is:

  • Specifically defined. Not “I want to have a good testimony!”, but “I want to improve my certificate at 0.5 in the next school year!”
  • Measurable – see above – the “good” certificate is a matter of interpretation, the improvement by 0.5 is a clear “measurable” number.
  • Activating – a goal should always be something you really want in which you really see a benefit. Here, for example, the above goal would be the question whether it is a certificate that you would like to apply for training or study places and thus see the benefit that you have more options with the better certificate.
  • Realistic – the goal is to be what you can really achieve. On the one hand, it is about whether the goal really lies within your possibilities, so you have the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve it without self-examination. On the other hand, it’s also about whether you can really control the achievement of the goal yourself – or whether something like happiness, fate or coincidence is too much to play in.
  • Dated – the goal should include a clear time until you want to reach it and then you can check on the measurability whether you have reached it – for example the end of the school year.

A goal so formulated is also one. Everything else is wishes, dreams, hopes. Of course you can also have them, they also belong to life! But just because they do not meet these criteria, you should not call them a target, because then frustration is pre-programmed…

Do your ding. Religion is a relic from the Middle Ages. And learn best to give nothing to others in general.

Besides getting big or getting rich, etc., I do not recognize any concrete goals here.

I mean, it’s clear if I want to get big or rich, that’s always going to cost others. Alleridngs is a difference whether I squeeze out the others like the lemons or let others work for me.

If you somehow manage to become big or rich, you’ll quickly realize that it doesn’t have to have been everything in life.

You ultimately strive for God. Perhaps the Miesmacher are evil people, perhaps even secret atheists. You should not be respected. If you have good goals, you can also pray for success.
