Accepting ourselves completely, striving to become better, and living by example are practical ways to win at the game of life. We must not aim for perfection, which can be tormenting and is not obtainable. Let’s shoot for the stars and live an extraordinary life full of goal achievement and vitality. There is greatness in each of you, not yet realized.
Getting Desired Results
Turn should do’s into must do’s by giving them enough reasons why they must be done. Don’t allow excuses, reasoning, self-pity, regret, blaming, resentment, or complaining stop you. Do your musts every day without compromise, no matter what, especially when you don’t feel like it. The power of self-discipline and producing the life you’ve only dreamt about manifests by taking massive action, architecting strategic plans, and subsequently thinking less about events and people standing in your way, while contemplating new creative ideas toward building and growing bigger, stronger, and better ways of engaging with your dreams. The fewer stressors and negative thoughts we have allows for more possibility. Simplifying our lives by forming desirable habits takes concerted effort, although becomes wonderfully rewarding and graciously performed in time. Results will ensue.

Life’s Desires
Life happens for us, not to us. Live in the blissful tranquility of grace and gratitude. Remember, the past does not predict the future. Forgive yourself and others, learn to live free from constraints and self-limiting beliefs, while moving into success through being present and aware of your genuinely desirable and passionate objectives, constantly. In the morning and before bed, ask yourself, “What do I want and why?” Follow those questions with, “How can I obtain it?” Consistently ask better questions to generate superior answers to problems and goals. Develop specific action steps toward making desires morph into reality. Neurons firing together wire together, thus consistent frequent repetition is key for making strong habitual patterns leading to our desired outcomes.

Prioritize Time
“Procrastination is the thief of time” (General proverb). Plan out the things that are most important to you each day so they will get done. Chunk time in 10-30 minute intervals for small daily activities, 30-90 minutes for medium-sized tasks, and 90-180 minutes for larger more creative undertakings. Remember to stop and reenergize every 30-60 minutes by taking a brisk walk, practicing gratitude, reflecting on good memories, or performing positive self-talk.

Prioritizing Life
Prioritize what you want in major categories of your life. This includes relationships, parenting, education, spirituality, mindset, personal-growth, health, work, finances, and giving back to society and the world. List a minimum of five things you desire to achieve in each category during the upcoming one to five years. Following is an example of my desires. Make your goals relative to meeting your unique desires, needs, expectations, and standards set for yourself. Remember, this is about what you can do, not someone else, and not trying to change anyone, except you. Relationships can be many….

“Strong reasons make strong actions” (William Shakespeare). Next, make a list of as many reasons why you want to accomplish those aims. The more whys in each category can make something on your list that was once number one priority, change to number three or four, while number two or five moves into the first place slot. Whichever target in each category has the most reasons why it is important and purpose-driven for you to achieve that objective, make it your number one priority and develop a single-minded focus on accomplishing those specific goals first. You can still do the others, just put more conscious effort into your primary focus.

Goal Attainment
”Never mistake motion for action” (Ernest Hemingway). Be specific and meticulously detailed about goals, while writing your objectives down on paper every day so time does not slip away into eternal lost yesterdays. Be precise so your navigational mapping system allows exact action-based directions to get you desirable triumphant results. Read the goals you’re working on three times daily, upon awakening, mid-day, and prior to departure. Additionally, dedication, commitment, determination, and perseverance are helpful advocates supporting goal and dream attainment, which cannot be delegated.

Soul On Fire
“There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way” (Christopher Darlington Morley). Forget about the noise and naysayers telling you it can’t be done, it’s too easy, it’s too difficult, you won’t make any money at it, or any other negative opinionated statements. You are responsible for living your own life, nobody else. Don’t live someone else’s dreams. Command yourself to live your own convictions and callings. God made us passionate beings to get stuff accomplished. We must continuously develop ourselves, therefore manifesting our authentic greatness into the world. Focus on your true desires and disregard the rest. Your passion mixed with top priorities, massive planning, and persistent action can make you unstoppable. Concentrating on serving people and helping make a difference in their lives will take on new profound meaning and purpose that drastically changes your life. Let your why fuel more purpose and meaning, cyclically creating relentless all-consuming fire burning within the depths of your deeply passionate ignited soul.

Dream Big Dreams
“One thing life taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else” (Eleanor Roosevelt). Believe you can achieve your dreams, subsequently prioritizing what you want, when you want it by, why you want to acquire those goals, and how you will make that happen. Back this up with a persistent ardent insatiable hunger and thirst, leading toward attainment. Be passionate about what you do, who you are, and how you can contribute toward impacting and making a profound difference in the lives of others. Serving people brings joy that morphs into greatness, which far exceeds all compromise. Enhance your gifts, talents, skills, and abilities toward generously helping others, therefore filling yourself up and keeping your cup overflowing with goodness.
