My Naked Truth Series: Persistent & Consistent

My Naked Truth Series: Persistent & Consistent

What up, how are you doing, no, how are you really doing? Do you remember how optimistic you were only 7 weeks ago? Do you still have it, the optimism or has it waned? Well unfortunately the key isn’t optimism it’s in consistency.

It’s reasonable to believe that the reason you and I haven’t had the success we wanted in years prior is we don’t have the habits essential to fostering success, and when we started this year we implemented some very ambitious objectives driving us in that direction, bu to our surprise, our old habits came creeping back in, procrastination, distractions, oversleeping, lack of focus, to name a few. These will continue to haunt us both unless we decide enough is enough.

Something I just learned recently as regards dieting: that people start the year with the objective of going to the gym five days a week without building the muscles for such radical change, instead of setting the goal to do once per week or 10 minutes per day. The analogy made was that people want to sit in the CEO chair on day one without knowing where the mailroom is. Maybe we should start smaller, maybe today we should set the goal to work with less distractions, work five minutes longer, work to complete a to-do list, build success momentum and increase our productivity from there.

Like many, I still haven’t found my groove, even at 34 . You’d figure doing this thing called life for so long you’d have it figured out, but in my case it’s taking a bit longer than the 19 year old me expected. How’s it going for you?

What are you aiming to be better at today? Which one of those bad habits are you overcoming? Just be greater than you were before, that’s it. Have a good day.

My naked truth series: Recalculating

My naked truth series: Recalculating

When you set your destination in your GPS you are very confident that if you follow the turn by turn directions you’ll eventually reach your destination. While often times it’s an area you don’t know or haven’t been before you know that it’s a reliable system of travel. Even when you miss a turn, or an exit your confidence doesn’t waver. Similarly if we know what our destination is, if we have defined success based on our own parameters, and make strides towards it daily, shouldn’t we still be confident that eventually we will get there. YES. It’s okay to recalculate, reassess, your missed turns and missed exits but make sure we pay closer attention to the turn by turn instructions that will guide us to our destination. What have you entered into the GPS of life? If this helped you and you spent time to read this entire post hit me with the appropriate emoji to let me know you did. Be greater.
