IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?
If it seems that I am simplifying the process, I am. Do
you want to look in the mirror some day and see an old man or woman and say
where did my life go? When I look in the mirror, I see an old man, but I
have done everything I ever wanted to do in my life! So what have you
been putting off? Ask yourself what you need to do today to start to
accomplish it. About thirty three years ago, I realized I wanted to be
financial independent! I put together a plan to accomplish that goal by
age forty. I took my goal and broke it down to daily tasks. I
monitored my progress weekly, adjusted my efforts to meet my goals and I
accomplished my financial independence at age 38!
You have to take responsibility for your life! Stop making
excuses and start now to go for what you want. If you don’t have the
skills, get them! If you don’t have the training, get it! Get
whatever you need to meet the challenge. What do you need to do to lose
weight? What do you need to be financially independent? What do you
need to do to get out of debt? Remember success is the accomplishment of
the goal. Lay out your plan and execute it. Your plan must work for
you, so personalize it. When I was trying to lose weight, the vending
machines at work could undo my efforts so I never carried money. That
worked for me!
What are you doing to meet your goals? What are you doing today to
meet your goals? What excuse is keeping you from your goal? Successful
people don’t make excuses, they take action. The difference between an
excuse and a reason is clear. An excuse is an explanation of why
something failed blaming someone or something. A reason is an explanation
where everyone takes accountability. For example, I want to lose weight,
but I do not have time to go to the gym. Stop making excuses and start on
your dreams. Let’s start a trend, better yet a movement toward
accomplishing your goals, dreams or fantasies! What do you think?
