Do you ever get the feeling you’re just working to Survive? When everything you’re doing feels more like a chore than enjoyable?
To move from that place of SURVIVAL to Stability and Success… there are 2 things needed… GOALS with PRIORITIES & CONSISTENCY. Goals & Priorities provide you with the vision of where you’d like to be or what you would like to achieve by a certain time.
By having a destination/goal in place, what you need next is the plan of tiny steps and micro-commitments you need to get there. What consistency provides you is habits However, the trouble many people have is the COMMITMENT required to follow through on what you KNOW needs to get done every day.
CONSISTENCY is about building small habits every single day that will keep you focused on your highest priorities and goals. So…. it all comes down to ACCOUNTABILITY. Are you able to hold yourself accountable for the daily CHOICES you make with NO EXCUSES and NO COMPLAINTS?
ACTION STEPS to move from Survive to Stability:
1) Focus on the present moment while maintaining a long-term view that helps you measure your results.
2) Know where you are at in your plan, at all times.
3) Learn from your failures and move forward, don’t live in your failures.
4) Repeat the same small actions everyday. Look for results. Adjust accordingly and stay on track. And if you fall off track, get right back on track the next day. The only deadline for success is when you stop trying to achieve it.
