Focus your time and attention on key tasks each day and week. Do not overburden yourself with too many tasks to do. You are likely to dilute the progress you are making.

Disaster Isn’t Forever
You can change your circumstances.
Have hope. Create a vision. Make a plan. Work towards it.
Get through a day, a week and a month. It will get easier. Five years from now you’ll look back and be astounded with how far you’ve come and how different your life is.
Review Often
When was the last time you took a look at your goals, their timing and how well your tracking against them?
Some things should be reviewed daily. Other items would be fine on a weekly basis. Much bigger picture items can be reviewed on a monthly basis and even annually. Although make sure all the smaller milestones for these big goals are reviewed more frequently.
Goals are wonderful things to have but you really do need to be kept accountable with them or you’ll miss the outcome, the timing or both.
Things Take Time
From booking a holiday, to medical appointments, buying a car and mortgage applications, things take a fair amount of time.
Not only do you need to really want to do the thing, you have to be willing to spend the time to organise and prepare for it!!
Talk Less
Enjoy!
What You’d Like And What Is Likely
Of course you would like to win the lottery. However, with odds north of 45 million to one, it is not very likely.
In some cases it’s mathematical and in other cases it’s karma, the law of attraction or balance in the universe.
The harder you push to get what you’d like rather than what is likely, the more probable you will fail.
In Your Element
What a great feeling to have; being in your element. Working on something that brings you great joy and satisfaction is a tremendous bonus in life.
It is a lot easier to excel at something if you completely enjoy doing it. In addition, you can continue to make great improvements in that space when you smile all day at work.
Find things that delight you and immerse yourself into them.
I had that feeling today and I’m still buzzing from it. Hang on to it. Stay in that zone. Great things will come when you’re where you should be.
Try Something New Today
Why wait? It can be simple like a different flavour of gum. Or it could be flying to a foreign country without your wallet. It’s definitely going to be interesting.
Get creative. Spend a few dollars. Go somewhere. Buy something different. Give to charity rather than buy a magazine.
Get out there. Go do it!
Each Move Gets You Closer
Like in a game of chess, every move gets you closer to an outcome. The better you train, and play, the more favourable the outcome should be for you.
Life is very much the same.
Raise Your Standards
Go test drive a car that is nicer than yours. Have a coffee in an opulent hotel restaurant. Find a great deal on the least expensive night of the year and stay in a nicer hotel than you usually would. Rent a slightly nicer rental car than normal.
Go shopping in more expensive stores during their sales. Pick one item you love, that is at an affordable price for you, and buy it.
As you slowly upgrade your experiences and surroundings, it will change the way you think, feel and experience or see the world.
Even if you don’t choose to upgrade permanently, due to budget or other considerations, treat yourself to it once a month or 4 times a year at least.
You’ll appreciate the differences.
