Don’t give up, grow a beard.

January 11th, 2007

Here’s a simple way to reach one of your goals that’s bound to work*. Grow a beard. A big freaking beard. Pick a goal to go with your beard, something that’ll take a while ie 3+ months at least. Tell people about your goal-beard and explain that when you reach your goal, the beard will be shaved off. Up till that point, don’t even so much as trim your beard, just let it grow wild.

Your goal-beard helps you achieve your goal because it is always with you. Unlike a silly list of goals, you can’t ever be without it! Not to mention that when people look at you with their cold harsh stares of disbelief due to the huge size of your goal-beard, they will be secretly judging you and calling you a failure until you shave the thing off! That’s right, your goal-beard will not only help you reach your goal, it will help others know you have reached your goal when it vanishes. No need to gloat about shedding 15lbs, losing your virginity, or finally moving out of your parent’s basement. Noooo, once your goal-beard is gone, people’s stares will turn into warm smiles of approval. They will know just how much of a winner you are and that if they stand in your way, you will cut them down like the worthless beard-hairs that taunted you on the way to your goal.

So what are you waiting for, throw out your razor and pick a goal. Your goal-beard awaits.

*Only works for men and some women, those whom this method fails to work for please consult http://www.stevepavlina.com, I especially recommend the posts about the number 7, 10, and 3.

Baz was kind enough to point out a huge success story of this method:

    Bonus: You can even keep your goal beard in a frame, reminding you of the big, hairy goals you tackled!

    Wayne Rooney tried this when he was having a goal drought at Manchester united last year. Luckily he scored eventually, cos he was beginning to look a bit silly with his scruffy ‘teenager’ beard.

    GB, so..you’re saying shave the beard off, save the hair, reassemble it in a frame?

    Baz, hehe, thanks for pointing that out, I’ll edit the post with a link to him :-)

    [...] if you don’t like this method, I also suggest a cutting-edge technique called growing a beard. It’s amazing how you can motivate yourself when facial hair is part of the equation. [Seriously, [...]
