admindates attached. You will only be as great as the goals you choose. Write your goals down.
Three percent of people write down their goals and only 1 percent review those written goals daily.
Be a part of that elite. Break down any large tasks into a series of small tasks and start taking action!
Prioritise
Separate the urgent from the rest and allow time to realise those critical goals. In the beginning don’t be concerned about how you will achieve them because with commitment, research and patience, the means will come.
You want your actions to have a clearly defined purpose. Write a to do list and follow it.
Submit to a higher power
You are one fragile, fallible human being so build your life on faith. A prayer is your conversation with God. Your success and happiness is God’s answer. Put God first and he will do things you never dreamt of.
Simplicity is power
Don’t complicate your life. Just be simple because when you are focused life is always simple.
Work from your basics. Re-examine how you do your things. Time management dictates that you ask yourself, Is what I am doing worth the time I am spending on it?
Be frugal
Separate your wants from your needs. You want to work all your life for all you need not necessarily all you want.
You don’t have to sentence yourself to a lifetime of hard labour for the trappings of status.
The simpler you make your life the easier it will be to maintain.
Risk failure
Fear and failure in this life are inevitable but how we deal with them is the true test of character. What fabric are you made of? There is no better time to take action than NOW!
If you take long, doubts will linger and turn into fears. You may stumble. You may be rejected. Yes you may fail, but such is life.
Attitude gives attitude
A positive attitude results from a life dedicated to self-improvement and service.
Your mind can only hold one thought at a time so make that one thought positive.
Count your blessings. The world is a better place because you are in it. Do your best today and tomorrow will sort itself out!
Make today special
Give each day a specific purpose. To some people there is always a sameness in their days. Life becomes monotonous and boring.
Make things happen in yours. Everybody has the same amount of time, but it’s the difference in how we spend it that makes the difference.
Use the power of patience
Only little time stands between you and your goal. Are you patient enough to wait?
Concentrate until you achieve. Try, try, try, and keep trying until you achieve your goals.
Remember that all wealth, all businesses, all real estate and all treasures will eventually pass to the young generation. Our time is at hand so let’s be prepared.
Cause change
The status quo may be comforting, but for there to be growth there must be change.
If you seek growth, seek change! Strive to see your environment not as it is but as it could be or should be.
BUT to change the world you have to change yourself first. Hope you were inspired.
See you next week as we focus on how we can become better individuals and effective leaders. Become the best you can be.
