Who is it really? Is it truly an outside person that is stopping you from achieving your ideal life? Or does that make it easier to live with as an answer? You’ll usually find, if you’re being brutally honest with yourself, that you are the only one stopping you. This mindset may be due to your self-identity, path uncertainty, or desire to avoid the tough decisions and hard work you’ll need to endure. So decide, make a plan, see yourself as that successful person and get to work!
When considering a decision, let your conscience be your guide. How does it make you feel? How would you feel on the receiving end? Would you be delighted to proudly tell your grandmother of the decision made? What would the worst tabloid headline be? Would you be happy with it now and in 10 years?
Somedays this is all you feel you can do. Keep pushing through though. You’ll get more done than you thought you would.
Do you really know? Have you ever really given 100%? If you have, could you have gone 40% more? Did you try? We are far more capable than we believe. Try pushing one of your limits today.
It’s often easier to know what we don’t want. So take some time and really consider what you do want. Then simply ask for it. You may actually get it.
Approach challenging topics head on. Avoiding them doesn’t make them any better.
It’s how you find new opportunities, business partners, ideas, solutions and adventure. Get out there. Mix it up a little.
Keep pursuing better and more. Not in a crazed un-disciplined way but in a focused manner. Having a purpose and being hungry to achieve it Is worth more than bars of gold.
Giant leaps of progress are brilliant. You feel you are really moving. But each small step adds up too. So remember to celebrate every little step. These are the building blocks to your incredible future.
A great British saying. If we can remember this at times of challenge, we will win the day.
