Tom Cruise's Approach to Goal Setting
Mumbai, Jan 6: Hollywood icon Tom Cruise recently revisited his philosophy on achieving goals in a resurfaced video. He elaborated on his method for success, emphasizing the importance of confronting fear.
In his words, “Don’t let fear hold you back. Acknowledge it, and that’s perfectly fine. The key is to document your aspirations and outline the steps necessary to achieve them. What skills do I need to acquire? What actions must I take? I prefer to take action rather than dwell on my fears. It’s normal to feel apprehensive about the unknown, but it’s crucial to accept that uncertainty is part of the journey and strive for clarity.”
He continued, “The best way to move forward is to stop overthinking and start taking action, step by step. When I train others or myself, I always remind myself to master crawling before walking, walking before jogging, jogging before running, and only then sprinting—whether that’s jumping out of a plane or off a cliff. That’s my approach.”
