Okay, so we’ve looked at where you’re at, we’ve looked at where you want to be. Now let’s look at perhaps the most crucial point – why are you doing it? The question that lays the cornerstone of our foundations is “why am I doing this? What do I really want to achieve?”
(You need to be able to write down some whys, and some, “What do I really want to achieves?” And it’s well worth taking time out periodically to ask yourself these questions and keep going back to them.)
And because of all the interruptions and hassles of everyday business life, you need to be focused on a daily basis. All these other hassles that go on around you knock you off course, and if you’re not constantly pulling yourself back in line, focusing on why you’re doing it, you end up in a totally wrong place. It’s no good getting to the end of your working life and saying, “Oh pants, we’re in the wrong place”, because it’s too late. But you do have the control, and what this is all about is taking control of what you’ve got. You do have the choice. You can be in the destination that you want. Focus on your why? What’s driving you, what’s it all for?
And it might help you if you remember that if other people can get to the destination that you’ve identified, if other people can show visible evidence of attaining what you are after, then you can attain it.
The only thing or person that stops you is you, and that’s primarily because you get knocked off course one day and you don’t pull yourself back on. You just carry on, and you know in this fluffy state of mind that you should be pulling yourself back in line but it’s not a habit yet. So you drift, and that easily then sets into big drifts and then after several years, well you’re miles off.
So please start pulling yourself back into line on a daily basis. Take notes now. Learn to write your thoughts frequently and just keep pulling yourself back, every day, every week, every month.
