Begin with the end in mind. Dream about the ideal life you’d like to live and when you’d like to start living it. Then start to research how you could make it a reality.
Get information. Book meetings, hotels and cabs. Write out the micro steps you’ll need to get you there.
It’s very fun and exciting to think that, if you keep it front of mind, one day you will get there!
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.
Getting better is tough. Keeping your high standard once you’re there is tough. Wishing you were where you wanted to be is tough.
Which tough are you going to endure?
Put in just a little extra effort each day and you will get to the place you wanted.
On your own, with your spouse, with friends or with kids, get out there and enjoy a night out.
Pay attention or pay the price. If you’re not tracking the key things in your life, they can easily, and quickly, go off track.
If you’re not paying attention to your fitness, you’ll spend more money on a new wardrobe, PT’s and diet/fitness books than you would have on a gym membership.
Keep your relationship in focus or the cost of divorce will be far more than a few date nights and a weekend escape or two.
Pay attention to your finances too. Make sure your income is correct and your outgoings too. A slip or two in a month could spell disaster in a few years or a fabulous retirement if caught early.
It pays to pay attention.
Time heals wounds but you have to be patient. People need time to process information so you need to have patience.
You can attract things into your life but you need to act now and yet still be patient.
It’s a great skill to master. Practice it every day.
Stay in the flow. Don’t get sidetracked. Remain obsessed on the one super goal. Work until exhausted or completed. Start immediately after any rest and repeat until completed.
Whatever you live for, go out and do it. Plan to experience it as often as you can.
If it makes you feel alive, and isn’t harming anyone else, get going on it. Go live!!!
There are times when that is really what you need most.
There is always a last time. We just don’t always know when it will be.
Times you’ll know it’s your last time can be your last day sitting at your desk at school, the last time you you drive a car before you sell it and your last day working for a company.
Although sometimes you won’t know it’s the last time while it is happening. Your last goodbye to a friend, the last time you speak with one of your parents or the last time you wake up in your bed.
Appreciate every day and every encounter. Give heartfelt goodbyes, as one will inevitably be the last.
