Why is it so hard to reach the goals we set for ourselves?
Every January, millions of people commit to big changes - but 92% of them never follow through. It's not just about willpower or planning. Something deeper is at play.
Take Portia, a marketing executive in her mid-30s. Every year, she sets bold intentions - new career milestones, better health habits, personal growth targets. But despite her drive, she always ends up in the same place: frustrated, discouraged, and wondering why nothing really changes.
If this sounds like your story too, you're not alone. And you're not broken.
There is a reason your goals aren't sticking - and it's not because you lack motivation or discipline. The truth is, most approaches to goal setting are missing the most important piece of the puzzle.
Are you ready to look at it differently?
The Breakthrough That Changed My Life
Hello, my name is Anita Colussi-Zanon. For over a decade, I've been privileged to guide countless individuals on their journeys of personal growth and goal achievement.
My approach combines the powerful techniques of Angelic Guidance and Inner Influencing - tools that have transformed not only my clients' lives but my own as well.
Years ago, I was a lot like Portia - driven, ambitious, and constantly falling short of the goals I set.
I tried everything from vision boards to affirmations to strategy-focused workshops. But despite all the effort, nothing seemed to shift things in a lasting way.
That changed when I discovered Inner Influencing.
This work gave me a way to dissolve the internal blocks I hadn't even realized were there.
I finally felt aligned, clear, and ready to move forward without the old inner friction. That inner shift changed everything - personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Now, I want to help others make the same shift - to move from setting goals to actually achieving them with less struggle, more flow, and deeper fulfillment.
Why Goals Feel So Hard to Reach
Goal setting and achievement are central to personal growth. Yet for many, they remain frustratingly out of reach.
When goals repeatedly fall through, the consequences go deeper than disappointment. They erode confidence, stall progress, and feed a quiet sense of failure.
On a larger scale, when individuals struggle to reach their potential, society loses out too - on innovation, creativity, and growth.
So why is this such a widespread struggle?
It often comes down to a misalignment between your conscious goals and your subconscious beliefs.
You may consciously want success, abundance, health, or love - but if your subconscious doesn't believe it's possible or safe, it quietly resists your efforts.
Most goal-setting methods work with the conscious mind. But lasting change depends on deeper alignment.
That's where Inner Influencing comes in. By working directly with the subconscious, it bridges the gap between what you want and what your mind believes is possible - making progress feel natural instead of forced.
The Real Reasons We Struggle to Reach Our Goals
Most people don't fail at goals because they're lazy or unmotivated. The problem usually lies deeper - within the patterns and beliefs that quietly influence every choice we make.
Here are some of the most common roadblocks:
1. Self-doubt and fear of failure
That inner voice that questions your worth or abilities can hold you back before you even begin. "What if I can't do it?" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
2. Vague goals without clear direction
Goals like "get healthier" or "be successful" lack clarity. Without specifics, the path forward is murky, making it harder to stay committed or measure progress.
3. Motivation that fades too soon
Excitement is easy at the beginning. But when obstacles arise, it's common to lose steam. Without internal alignment, it's hard to keep going.
4. Deep-rooted limiting beliefs
You may consciously want change - but subconscious beliefs like "I don't deserve success" or "It's too late for me" can silently sabotage your efforts.
5. Competing priorities and life overload
Trying to juggle everything - work, family, health, relationships - can leave little energy for personal growth. Goals often fall to the bottom of the list.
These challenges don't mean something is wrong with you. They're signals pointing to the need for a different approach - one that addresses what's happening beneath the surface.
That's where Inner Influencing begins to change everything.
Why Most Goal-Setting Methods Don't Go Deep Enough
There's no shortage of advice on how to set and reach your goals. But even with the best techniques, many people still struggle to create real, lasting change.
Here's a look at the common methods - and why they often fall short:
Traditional Approaches
- SMART Goals
This method helps you make your goals clear and trackable. But clarity isn't always the issue. If your subconscious isn't on board, even the best structure can fail.
- Vision Boards & Affirmations
Visualization and positive statements can feel good in the moment, but they don't usually resolve the inner blocks that derail your progress.
Modern Alternatives
- Mindfulness Meditation
It can improve focus and lower stress - but it doesn't always translate into action, especially when old beliefs are running the show.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps reframe negative thinking patterns, but the process can take time, and it doesn't always access the deeper subconscious drivers behind your behavior.
Energy Therapies
- EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Tapping can help with anxiety and emotional relief, but it may not shift deep, goal-related beliefs unless used consistently and correctly.
- Reiki
Reiki promotes relaxation, but for many people, it doesn't create noticeable progress toward their goals.
These approaches all have value, but they tend to work around the edges of change - without reaching the core.
Inner Influencing takes a different path.
It doesn't focus on willpower or mindset alone. Instead, it helps you get your inner world working for you - by reprogramming the beliefs, patterns, and emotional triggers that quietly shape your results.
In the next section, we'll dive deeper into how it works - and why it's different from anything else you've tried.
How Inner Influencing Makes Goal Setting Actually Work
Inner Influencing is a breakthrough approach that redefines how we create personal change.
Unlike methods that rely on repetition or willpower, this technique works by shifting the inner patterns that quietly shape your behavior.
At the heart of Inner Influencing is a powerful discovery: a fourth part of the mind.
Traditional psychology speaks of the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious. But Inner Influencing introduces something new - a part of the mind that serves as a direct access point to your deeper programming.
Think of it as a bridge between your surface-level intentions and the inner architecture that determines whether or not you succeed.
How It Helps with Goals
- Identifies and clears subconscious blocks
You stop spinning your wheels on goals that never seem to stick because the real issue - the part of you that resists change - is finally being heard and shifted.
- Aligns your inner world with your outer goals
When your internal beliefs match what you say you want, things get easier. Motivation returns. Decisions become clearer. Progress feels natural, not forced.
- Works quickly and without drama
Many people begin to notice real shifts in how they think and feel - even the first time they try it.
The process is gentle, fully conscious, and doesn't require altered states, emotional deep-dives, or years of sessions to be effective.
- You learn it once - then use it for life
Inner Influencing is self-applied. That means you can use it any time you feel stuck, doubtful, overwhelmed, or off-course.
It's a tool you carry with you always.
Willpower isn't the issue. What really holds you back is the inner resistance - and once that's gone, things start to move on their own.
Up next, let's explore what your life could look like when your inner and outer goals finally align.
The Future of Goal Achievement
Imagine waking up excited for your day - not just motivated, but deeply aligned with what you're working toward.
That's the real power of Inner Influencing. It helps you move beyond the push-pull of discipline and procrastination, and into a space where progress feels natural.
When your subconscious and conscious goals are in sync, things start to flow. You begin to:
- Take action consistently without second-guessing yourself
- Notice new opportunities where there once seemed to be none
- Navigate setbacks with confidence instead of getting derailed
- Set goals that feel energizing, not burdensome
- Experience wins that don't just look good on paper, but actually feel meaningful
This kind of alignment creates momentum - not the kind that burns out, but the kind that builds over time.
You start small, but the effects compound. Each step forward fuels the next.
Most importantly, your definition of success begins to change.
It stops being about chasing external validation and becomes about growth that feels right from the inside out.
And that's where real transformation lives.
What the Angels Say about Goal Setting and Achievement
What Do the Angels Say About Goals and Achievement?
The Angels say that our goals are what we make of them. And that achievement is very subjective.
Some people might want academic achievement. Others crave accomplishment in sports or business.
Achievement is usually firmly rooted in the sphere of your career or in professional accomplishments that you can be proud of.
But achievement, accomplishment and goals can also be part of the personal sphere too.
You can have goals relating to the kind of friend, partner or parent you want to be.
You can take great pride in caring for a sick parent or nursing an animal back to health.
You need to measure for yourself what goals and achievement mean for you.
You might be tempted to look at the world around you, the world that you spend your time in and seek out definitions there.
If you grew up very wealthy and expected to attend a top university and then enter the upper levels of business or medicine, then you might have a different definition than someone who has had a very different experience of life.
For example, if someone had to strive all their life to get by, then just landing a job with high pay would feel like a huge accomplishment. And indeed it would be.
So while you are thinking about your own goals and accomplishments, the Angels invite you to reflect on what these could be. But also to expand your definition and awareness.
Maybe you would like to explore different areas of life that you are not even aware of. Maybe the topic of goals and achievement could afford you the opportunity to visit other versions of life that have been hidden from you.
Whatever you choose, whatever your direction, the Angels wish you well.
As we reflect on the Angels' wisdom regarding goals and achievement, we're reminded of the deeply personal nature of our aspirations and the importance of defining success on our own terms.
Their encouragement to expand our awareness aligns beautifully with the transformative power of Inner Influencing.
Now, let's explore how you can take these celestial insights and put them into action, beginning your journey towards more meaningful goal-setting and achievement, guided by both Angelic wisdom and innovative personal development techniques.
