Consider your life and this longer term goal. Commit to something quite some time away. Learn to think in years and decades rather than the moment, today or even this week. Think longer term and make better decisions.

Do Your Best Or Win?
Would you rather do your absolute best at something and come second or be off your game but still win?
Find Your Passion
Go after it. Search. Explore. Discover. Spend one week and search online, talk to people, watch clips and try things out. Be proactive. Then shortlist three of your favourite ideas. Explore them for three months. Then go for one all in. You can change later if it is no longer for you.
Don’t wait all your life to find it. Hunt it down.
Be Additive
Make sure you contribute in a positive way, whenever you can. Don’t be the person who sucks all the energy out of the room or conversation. Make sure you are adding to the conversation or event.
Results Don’t Lie
You can sell a story, give a reason, or five, and even create an elaborate excuse. It may distract some folks, and waste both of your time, but it doesn’t change the result you had. Results don’t lie.
Life Goes On
In the moment, some things feel gigantic and overwhelming. Though, often five years later, they seem rather small or normal. Life goes on.
Attack Your List
Get a few small items off your list each day. And be sure to get 1-3 bigger items moved forward too.
Perseverance
Sometimes that is all you need.
Keep At It!
Finish the task at hand. You might miss your train home or your favourite tv show but stick with the task until it’s complete. Or you may never finish it. The Law of Diminishing Intent might grab hold of you and bury your dreams and disciplined ways.
Work On Your Dreams
No one else will.
