Understand that no thought in another persons mind can harm you. Nor can the shifts or changes in the world around you. Then what can? Your ability to see it. You must understand that whatever happens to another person - good or bad alike - is neither good or bad...(continued later)
REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions): This week I want to give you a 4-step process which will accelerate your progress in achieving any goal, massive success, and your dreams of creating a life you love.
Success is often viewed as something reserved for only a select few.
It is like a gene you were born with, which automatically dictates whether you will succeed or not.
However, I am going to break it down how to succeed in any realm of your life into a 4-step process you can follow.
Step 1:
Understnad that no thought in another persons's mind can harm you. Nor can the shifts or changes in the world around you. Then what can? Your ability to see it. You must understand that whatever happens to another person - good or bad alike - is neither good or bad...
This quote is so powerful and was from a highly successful person. Who was it? Marcus Aurelius..the emperor fo the Roman Empire.
We often get caught up in the first two parts of this quote, thus stand blocking us from achieving any goal or a massive success.
First, we get stuck in worrying about what others will think or what we think they are thinking about (crazy if you think about it). This takes up precious mind power and time away from the important step of actually taking action.
Second, we react to external factors in the world around us. For example, if there is a lot of change around us, we feel overwhelmed or out of place and blame it on the change. The secret here is to know everything will always be changing around us, that is the constant. The power comes when you build systems which allow you to thrive in any situation.
Step 2:
Understand that every result is a LAG indicator produced by LEAD indicators, or daily decisions and actions you take. Thus, do not get caught up on the LAG indicators, but have a heightened focus on your LEAD indicators which produced them.
We often get caught up on the result and rarely focus on the process which brought us there. Yet, if you were to switch your thinking and see every result, as a product of the daily decisions and actions you take, growth will accelerate!
Step 3:
Be aggressive to separate FACT from opinion.
Often times we let the opinions of others, or ourselves, dictate how we perceive a situation. This, in turn, drives us to make decisions based on this false information.
For example, you are dieting and get on the scale to see you have not lost weight from yesterday and automatically feel that dieting does not work, your opinion. Thus, you constantly think about how hard dieting is, how easy it would be to eat whatever you want, and so on until you find yourself on the sofa with two empty cartons of ice cream beside you.
This where you need to be aggressive to separate FACT from opinion. The FACT is what LEAD indicators produced this LAG indicator? Can you identify which action produced this result?
You will find if you do this, then it will be easier to take corrective action...which leads to Step 4.
Step 4:
Be relentless in acting and autocorrecting to achieve your ultimate outcome.
I have learned success is not a linear path. You do not start at point A and then draw a straight line to Point B. Actually, you will move to the right, then down, then up, and then...It is a process which requires you to set the target, then act and autocorrect to get you to your final destination.
Similar to how an airplane gets you from one place to the next, you will constantly need to take action and then learn from your successes, disappointments, mistakes, rejections, and failures to take corrective action to take the next steps to achieve your ultimate outcomes!
So there you have it! A 4-step process to achieve any goal, massive success, and achieve your dreams to create a life you love!
I can guaranteeou will produce amazing results and accelerate your growth if you can apply this 4 step process consistently!
So what are you waiting for?
Execute this process on the path to achieving your dreams and creating a life you love!
Top three activities that move me forward?
1. Being consistent with the morning routine. Sets the day for success no matter what!
2. Being disciplined to zen. When the body does not feel well, everything else suffers.
3. Listening to audible and life coach podcast. Dramatic improvements in my life professionally and personally due to doing this daily.
Biggest lessons and learnings?
Be aggressive to separate FACT from opinion to get the information you need to take corrective action.
What are you grateful for?
Being able to spend time and celebrate with Family during the holidays. Never knew how powerful this was in the past, but with a family of my own, it is truly amazing!

PLANNING (Implementation Intention): You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.
PLANNING (Implementation Intention): You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.
I plan to complete the weekly task [day] at [time] in [location].
A reminder you might have to use multiple Implementation Intentions in order to follow through.
EXECUTION (strategies used): From week to week, I use a combination of many strategies. There are always some which are used more than others depending on what comes up, but I wanted to offer a link to all them at once.
My advice is to identify the I CAN'T statement you tell yourself during the most. Then find a strategy below the statement which resonates with you, and then start using it.
Enjoy!
