Life sure is.
Keep Plugging Away
Get your head down and do the grinding work. You don’t want to do it but a few disciplined hours each day to move key projects forward will pay off. Within days or weeks you will be over the 50% point and feel the forward momentum.
The whole project will feel lighter as you get past 50% and soon progress past 60%. Rather than feeling drained and restrained, like at the start of the project, you begin to focus on completing and celebrating your successful completion.
Project milestones can impact your mindset and this is especially true once you pass the tipping point.
Stay focused and keep plugging away. Use your discipline and you will gather momentum towards your success!!
Trust
Trust is a delicate thing. You can’t force people to trust you. How you act, what you say and the vibe you give off would determine the level of trust granted to you.
Animals and strangers quickly decide what level of trust to confer on you. Your smell, stance, face, interaction, body language, voice and tone all combine to give a sense of who you are.
Top Five Characteristics
Think of your favourite people. They may be your spouse, a superhero, child, parent or cousin. Name their top five characteristics (from your perspective).
Focus on these five characteristics several times per day for the next seven days. See what you notice.
Positive Focus
Sometimes life hits hard and it would be easy to get lost down a negative rabbit hole. You need to resist that. Take a moment and refocus.
Train all your energy on being a positive force with a positive mindset. Be grateful for all that you have. It is far more than you think. Appreciate where you are and what you have. The grass is greener where you water it. So pour some water on your side of the street.
Maintain, or re-establish, a positive focus. Do not let the negative thoughts gain a foothold in your mind. You can beat this and lead people to a better place if you stay positive focused.
Regenerate
When the inevitable happens and you need to renew yourself, do it. Regenerate and move on with a thousand life forces, to your new destiny.
Don’t dwell on the past and what could have been. Be delighted in your new direction and the adventure that is to come.
There Will Be Speed bumps
Not everything will go to plan. There will be speed bumps. Prepare for them in advance as best you can. Prepare mentally for the challenge. There will be tough times in your life but you can overcome them on your road to success.
Never Give Up
We saw it with the Pacers tonight at OKC as they clawed back throughout the game and finally took the lead with 0.3 seconds remaining.
It happened with Panthers at Oilers, also in Game 1 of the finals. Both teams battled down to the wire until there were just 31 seconds left in Overtime, before the winner emerged.
Keep digging deep. Never give up. The win is there for those of you determined to fight till that final moment.
Play Life Like It’s The Finals
Get out there and play hard, with the focus and intensity of playing in overtime in the finals.
Book Early
When doing anything, book months in advance, or at least weeks. It gives you something to look forward to, is usually cheaper, and there are usually more options to select from.
