Consider this simple formula - Dreams + Dedication = Success
Why aren’t more of us successful? We all have dreams. (If you aren't sure of what your dreams are, check out my video - Write Your Next Chapter. ) Even if we know what we want in 2010, many of us lack the dedication to see our ideas through to successful completion.
How dedicated are you to your personal success? “Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.” (Cecil B. Demille)
Many of us start the New Year with big hopes and dreams. We may even take the time to write down our goals. Yet, few of us remain focused DAILY on the ideal, goals and desires we have for ourselves.
Consider implementing these ideas:
STAY FOCUSED. DO A DAILY DEDICATION:
To stay on target, I recommend you take at least 5 minutes each day, at the beginning of the day, to remind yourself what you are aiming for. Intentionally review your dreams and goals. Be clear on what actions you can take TODAY to take steps close to your dreams. Say a prayer for Divine help, support and guidance.
TAKE DAILY BABY STEPS!
Yes, small steps add up. Do your part. Follow your guidance. Focus your energy. Do the legwork that comes to mind. Though these steps might seem insignificant, they are essential in making progress to realize your big dreams.
HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE. End the day with DEDICATION:
Each day before going to bed, do a five-minute review – did you stay focused on your goals? Did you make any progress on them? If so, pat yourself on the back.
If not, what distracted you? Can you remove these distractions and disruptions? Renew your commitment. Say a prayer.
Use these three ideas every day the entire year. You will be amazed at the progress you can make with this type of clear dedication.
In the words of the great American football coach, Vince Lombardi, “A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the DEDICATION, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”
I'm practicing these ideas with my own dreams. They keep me on track.
I'm here to help and support you in creating a life you love.
