Understand what matters.
Every person has a different set of values or experiences in this world. We pick and choose what works for us over time depending on our upbringing and character traits that we develop as the years go by. Some habits might be helping while others may be hurting. It’s up to us to decide on the correct combination for our own situation. Determine what code it is you want to live by and act in accordance with your thoughts and words. Synchronize the right things to become greater overall. Everything starts with a vision of what could be.
Signs, lessons and opportunities are abundant if you’re listening and looking for them. No path is ever linear. A good starting point won’t equal a happy ending and vice versa. Life is very malleable depending on how we direct our time and energy. Be able to count on yourself and cut out the noise that gets in your way. Lead by example and others will start to follow and ask questions. Find ways to dial in your life physically, mentally and spiritually. Learn from people you admire with proven results but never become a carbon copy of someone else. Take what you need and put your own spin on things in order to create the right systems.
Everything is changing day by day. New technology, information, thoughts, responsibilities, relationships and opportunities that we couldn’t even fathom a year beforehand. These spaces of change are beneficial and if used correctly can propel us to new heights. Be bold in your actions and go all in on what truly matters. Untold benefits to following your spirit, getting the job done and leaving the rest up to God. The bigger picture becomes much clearer over time.
Find the right people and places.
It’s important to add value to your environment and to the people around you if the goal is success in whatever subject you choose to pursue. Helping out other people and building connections, which can take many different shapes or forms, are the keys to getting where you want to go. It’s very easy to sit on the sidelines and complain that things are going bad. All of these limiting beliefs can be shattered in an instant with the right conversation or change of scenery.
You may have been told your whole life that certain things are impossible. That you can’t make money doing things you like or that the system is rigged against you or your dreams are irrelevant and impossible to achieve. After years of being told these things, we might start to believe all of them fully even though there’s no evidence to support these claims or effort to actualize potential results. Someone out there is living a variation of your ideal reality. Health, wealth, great relationships, solid faith and a strong purpose. Obtaining these things through carving their own path instead of listening to lies they’ve been told.
Never allow yourself to be locked in a mental prison. There is always a way out. We all have the keys but what most of us lack is drive. Caught up in old places with stale relationships because we chose to settle and let that vision rot over a lifetime. Pursue that mission now, while there’s time to act. Can’t think of any fate worse that sitting on your deathbed wondering what could’ve been. Even if the ideal life seems far off, there’s always something that can be done to move the needle. Explore the world as best you can and find what resonates. Those instincts and gut feelings will lead you toward the right path.
Carve out a blueprint.
Plans will always change. This is an inevitable fact of life. Even the most scheduled, meticulous and punctual among us will get hit by trials and tribulations that can throw them off course. Learning how to adapt when things go sideways is an important skill in itself and is arguably what separates the greats from the rest of the pack. Reacting accordingly and getting the job done even when the pressure is on and things look like they’re about to collapse. It’s possible to get better at countering problems and challenges as we step into the arena and gain more experience. Prepare as best as you can but understand that outside forces are always at play. Build your kingdom from the rubble if need be.
Clarifying the vision and coming to terms with where you currently are in this moment will help to make sense of the next few steps. Hard to go from A-Z in one day but it’s possible to get from A-B much quicker if you dive in and take action. Overloading on theory won’t really do much unless you’re applying the knowledge adequately and seeing the right results.
Pick a few areas that you’d like to improve in and allot time and energy to them until certain things become second nature and you’re ready to advance to the next level.
Can you get in better shape? Make more money? Have better relationships?
Start with the main areas and take action on the basics that resonate. Look for challenges and get creative when things seem too easy. There’s always something that can be done until the time is up.
Move forward along the path.
