Look after your thoughts
"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." Lao Tzu
Are your thoughts and habits moving you closer and closer to your life and career goals, your own destiny? If not then why are you doing them?
A number of years ago I set myself a ridiculous goal to achieve. Quite frankly if your goals don't frighten you then they are not big enough! Everything I chose to do was connected to achieving this goal. Always taking baby steps forwards and gaining confidence. Things were progressing very nicely indeed.
And then something happened. I was given a snapshot of the goal I had wanted to achieve. I was close enough to feel, hear and smell the goal I had set all those years back and I was disappointed. The experience just didn't 'scratch my itch' and even more importantly the values of the environment didn't get close to my own personal values.
After reviewing things I decided to just reset a few things, new goals have been set and another ridiculous and huge goal is now in place. The process starts again!
It got me thinking just how many people I am surrounded by are focussed on achieving their own life goals? As well as those people that may be just 'cruising'?
My week ahead is set up beautifully and I hope yours is too.
Keep your eyes on your Everest and take baby steps.
