whats up people. how are things going? hows the week going? good? great? poor? maybe you're thinkin its thursday, already put friday in the past and youre clocked out and ready for the weekend? whatever it is, today is thursday march 1! thats right, a new month. #3 in the year. currently we are 1/6 of the way through 2012. 16.66% of the year has passed. crazy huh? so the question that i ask is what have you done so far? whats the 16.66% of the year you cant get back look like? did you get anything accomplished? did you stick to any of your new years resolutions that you had planned to? or are you thinking " i have 83.34% of the year left. ill just wait until then to get started. ill wait until then to make an impact. ill wait until tomorrow. blah.. so what i want to do with this post is just check in and see how things are going? if your still doing the 30 day challenge, i wanna see how thats going? (i have 9 days left of no sweets!) what about yours? if you havent started a challenge, scroll down to a few posts ago and check my challenge! its a great way to push yourself and see some changes that you would like to see in a fun and challenging way.
not only do i want to see how your year is going so far, i want to see what you have planned for this month? what are you wanting to accomplish? do you have any idea? one of the best ways to see things get done is to set realistic goals-- and take steps to get there! we all need to strive to make this the best month so far! it doesnt matter what you did or didnt do in january and february- those are over, done, in the past- but what does matter is what you will do this month. what youll get done today. what you will do tomorrow--this weekend---next week.. we have 31 days to make this the best month so far. weather thats at your job, with your family, with your relationship with God, your workouts, your diets, whatever it is-- they need to be at top notch for this month. in the video below (its a quick 4 minute watch, so please do) the speaker talks about how success is not a one way street. and thats exactly right. to be successful in whatever it takes work! ok, some people might get lucky here and there and "achieve success" in the blink of an eye- but for the majority of situations success comes from hard work. i love the outline he gives when he explains success is 8 principles. passion. work. focus. push. ideas. improve. serve. persist. how are you going to implement those 8 principles in this month? i challenge you to think about, think about what you can do this month to challenge yourself- to strive for something you didnt think was possible or you thought you had no opportunity to do so. success is not a one way street. its a constant trip that we need to be on. when we learn how to develop those 8 principles into our life and every day activities thats when we will have success- and not only have it-- but we will sustain it!
step up and step out this month. do something that you have wanted to do for a long time but never thought you could. dont wait for the opportunity. create yourself! and when you do, thats when you will see a breakthrough.
until later.
breakthrough.
gabe.
