Eliminate Excuses – They Slow You Down (part 1)
Do you ever feel bogged down? Look ahead at the possibilities.
You need to think about what you are doing today, but don’t lose your vision. Many say, “I don’t have a vision, I don’t know what’s ahead.” That‘s called a “fuzzy vision”.
If you look out ahead and don’t see much coming, it’s because you haven’t created what you want. That lack of vision is a vision. The difficulty with that is that it usually brings little to you.
Engineering Your Vision
When you focus on a goal, and you keep making progress step-by-step toward it, you gain energy. You feel stronger and more willing to keep moving as you experience yourself moving into achievement.
When you create a “possibility vision” each step you take feels rewarding. The movement is an acknowledgement within your mind that the vision can manifest.
The stressors and heaviness of this moment are temporarily lessened because you see and feel the achievement.
What do you want to accomplish the next 365 days? Your potential is huge. Look ahead. Think about what your ideal outcome would be. Break it into steps that you believe are doable and you now have a map to follow.
Will you encounter bumps in the road? Certainly. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop, it just means you hit a bump. When you take on that challenge and make it through, you feel stronger. The challenges also force you to clarify your focus, which enables you to step even nearer your desired outcome.
Persist And Win
The wise old philosopher Plato said, “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.” The smallest, and the most gigantic of accomplishments, all are attained one step at a time. Make progress—step by step.
Your focus on desired goals is crucial. There will be distractions—that’s just “oh well, so what”. If they pull you away from what you want, when you notice you have wandered, just bring your attention back. It’s not a big deal, just refocus and start up again.
The human butterfly mind flits from thing to thing. When it heads off course, just bring it back and send it once again in the direction you desire.
In the coming days, weeks and months—keep looking ahead. Keep refocusing on what you desire, and where you want to be. This focus on your vision pays high dividends in time and energy.
The more you define what you want, the clearer your vision. The clearer your vision, the higher will be your energy, and the faster you’ll move to your desired goal. The only person who can stop you is you.
Let ‘er rip! Make today the great day it has the potential to be.
