You have GREATNESS within you; waiting for you to fully activate it. You want more, know you are capable of more, interested in being better, growing, learning, exploring otherwise you would not be reading these words.
1) Pay Attention to What You Feed Your Mind
Nutrition for the mind is akin to nutrition for the body. Strengthening the mind requires frequent trips to the mental gym; daily doses of growth and/or inspirational literature, both personal and professional. Junk food mental diet = weak and unfocused mind = wasted life. Your choice.
2) Focus Like a Laser: Create a Plan, Work Your Plan
To live the life of your dreams, you must have a dream(s) and an action plans with targets and deadlines to bring them to life. You should set 3 to 5 goals for each of the six major roles of your life (Personal, Professional, Physical, Spiritual, Family/Friends, and Community). Create contingency plans for setbacks. Everyone stumbles, plateaus are normal. Failure is never permanent UNLESS you make it so. Simply learn from the experience, assess, recommit, re-vamp as appropriate, love yourself and move on.
3) Feedback: The Breakfast of Champions
Internal: Journal, Journal, Journal. Journaling gives your perspective, a chance to review your progress, learn your patterns and triggers, hone your awareness.
Are You Coachable? Do Others Think So?
4) Lock in Live Long Learning
If you are not growing, you are stagnating. Life is all about change. If you change before a crisis forces you to change, you have much more control over the direction and pace.
5) Celebrate, Enjoy, Daily practice your “Attitude of Gratitude”, your “Habit of Happiness”
Even Saints must Sleep and Priests must Play. No matter how focused and driven you are, take the time to kick back and relax. Balance is important.
Unleashing the Winner Within is simple! However, simple is not the same as easy! Persistence is Key. “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier, 1885-1950.
