“Looking back, my life seems to be one long obstacle course, with me as the chief obstacle.” – Jack Paar
Your road to success is filled with roadblocks, detours, and stop signs. Unfortunately, the biggest roadblock is probably you.
Most people like to think success is easy, and it will happen in the future. But if you are not working toward success every day, then it is further away than you think.
Abraham Lincoln said, “I will get ready, and then perhaps my chance will come.” Too often the chances come and go, and we are not prepared. In most cases we do not even recognize them.
Making progress every day requires some thinking, some action, and some discipline. If you cannot answer the following questions, you may want to set aside a day, and reflect on how you can get started.
1. What is my purpose?
2. What talent do I bring to the world?
3. What is my plan?
4. What are my priorities?
5. What system do I use that helps me stay focused and disciplined to follow my plan?
6. How well am I doing?
They are tough questions. You probably don’t have great answers for them all. But I am sure the answers are within you. Success awaits. Set aside time to build your plan for achievement.
