Are you disappointed with the results (or lack of,) you’ve had this past year?
Stop there, and just turn your mistakes into learning lessons, and take time this month to get ready and open to welcome new opportunities in the coming year.
Blame is the high price you pay when you let your life slip through your fingers without making the decision to do what it takes to follow your passion. You’ve probably found yourself lately, wondering what if… What if I had done this? What if I could go back in time and take this simple action step? How much could I change?
Stop blaming yourself for what you haven’t done and decide to take action TODAY. Set priorities in your life. Get clear about your life vision and set goals that bring you closer to accomplishing them. Choose every day activities that support both, your passion and your priorities.
Be disciplined and you will find yourself in a privileged place, striving to get to the top,and to achieve success on your own terms.
Do not wait for the right time to act on your dreams. Today is the perfect day to start writing that book that’s been calling you for a while. Today is the perfect day to start that project you’ve envisioned for the longest time. Today is the perfect day to take the first step to lose weight. Stop making excuses!
I don’t have time!
I’m too tired!
I’m too old!
I’m not smart enough! Sound familiar?
How many days and weeks you go wasting time on tasks that have no value to you or your loved ones. How often do you review your day and find that you’ve invested your time on unimportant things! What is the price you are paying?
Take charge of your life and make every minute of it worth living but do it NOW!
Here are two simple tips to help you achieve your goals:
- Get Crystal Clear about the What and Why – As important as it is to know what your passion is and what you want to accomplish, it is also important to be clear about the reasons behind your goal. An easy way to get to this clarity is setting your life priorities straight and then aligning your day-to-day actions so they support those priorities.
- Plan ahead – Take a few minutes every night to organize your agenda and choose 3 – 5 activities that will take you closer to accomplishing your projects. Highlight the activities that must be done regardless.
Remember, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Stop the cycle of frustration you go through, year after year. Study what worked and what needs to improve. If you want to get results, you must take action, take the risk of getting out of your comfort zone to achieve the results you haven’t achieved before.
“No plan. No objective. No goal. The road to anywhere is the road to nowhere, and the road to nowhere leads to dreams sacrificed, opportunities squandered, and a life unfulfilled.”
Thomas S. Monson
