I recently spent some personal time in Indonesia, and we had opportunities to both travel on very interesting roads & do some mountain hiking. In both situations, there were times when it felt as if the way up was never ending, with bumps & turns along the way, and both our bodies & our vehicle straining to move forward to the next step or curve. And sometimes it felt like we were not making any progress at all, that the road ahead was never ending. I know that in every-day life, with the challenges that come along, sometimes we might feel the same. You may think that there’s no end in sight, there’s no reward for the effort you’re expending right now – but let me remind you – there is something better at the end. And as I looked backwards, I could see the progress I’d already made. Each step, each meter of progress was moving me in the right direction to the goal I wanted to achieve. So it is too with our daily life, if you keep taking a step forward, when you look back you’ll see how much progress you’ve already made. Don’t give up!

Time: Idea #536
Who ever has enough time to do everything they want to do? I don’t. ‘Time management and prioritization are important to success because we all only have 24 hours each day. If you are not getting the success you want, you are doing too many things or the wrong things. What is the most important use of your time, right now? We can’t make more time, but we can make better use of the time we have. The biggest risk to your success is doing unimportant things.’ (J.Maxwell) Are you working on what is important – or not?

Purpose-in-Life: Idea #535
Idea #104 ‘Having a “purpose-in-life” (the technical term) has been shown to lower incidences of stroke, dementia, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, from a performance standpoint, purpose boosts motivation, productivity, resilience, and focus….Purpose shifts our attention off ourselves (internal focus) and puts it onto other people and the task at hand (external focus).’ (S.Kotler) As you think about what you want to achieve this year, don’t just think about goals or resolutions, think about your purpose in life, what you want to achieve – then go for it!
