All of us would like to get more done everyday, but slumps hit, our attention wavers, our motivation wanes and another day goes by with us having falling short of our best intentions.

If you want to achieve anything you need to have a very clear idea of what you want to accomplish and why.

You have goals and aspirations, everyone does. The question is are those goals things you believe you can achieve. Do you feel good enough? Smart enough? Worthy enough?

Sometimes while striving for our best, we cross a blurry line and start striving for perfection and then instead of moving forward and feeling satisfied with our results, we get stuck and dissatisfied and we begin to question whether or not we are even good enough to be doing this thing in the first place.

Don’t confine your thinking and your actions to what you think you might be able to accomplish. Reach beyond your boundaries.

Big projects can be a horrible scary daunting pain. Thinking about all the steps and all the work something will take, can be a bit overwhelming.

What we sometimes lose sight of is that even if life and circumstances are vying for our attention, we still have more control over where we decide to focus the rest of our energies than we may realize.

If you want to move ahead in your career, you’d do well to look at it like an artist.  Have a vision of your destination before you set out on your journey.

Whether you want change or the whole world or simply your corner of it, you have the capacity to be that change. To make that change.

We always have the choice between going right or left, but the way most of us live our lives, it’s as if we have no choice at all. We do virtually the same things over and over again, day after day, week after week simply because it’s become our habit.

The one constant inside and outside of everything that happens to you, is you. So it makes sense, to fix your problems, you need to reassess how you approach them.  

What do you think people said to Elon Musk said he was going to found Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) a company that would focus on advancing the state of rocket technologies. Can’t be done? Why? What a waste of money!  Probably.  

Are there things you want to do with your life that you haven’t quite gotten around to? Big projects, small projects that keep moving from to-do list to to-do list? Or something that’s sitting in the back of your mind that hasn’t even made it to a to-do list?

See for yourself exactly what is possible. And then, “Darling, don’t ever be too shy to dance your heart out.”

No matter how perfect or imperfect things may seem in any given moment, they won’t stay that way.  Life cannot ever stay the same. People change, circumstances change, ideas, thoughts and trends change.

Maybe you are very content with how much you manage to accomplish everyday, however if you’re like most you probably look at the super successful and wonder how they manage to squeeze in so much.  It turns out the very successful have a few things in common.

If you’re serious about your goals, big or small, there’s a word you need to cut out of your vocabulary. Failure.

When you’ve been trying unsuccessfully to reach a goal and you hit brick wall after brick wall after brick wall, you may decide continuing with the effort is simply a waste of time and energy.
