‘Life presents an endless series of interruptions and distractions. You will continually be pulled off course or asked to put out a fire created by someone else. People will disrespect your time and steal your attention—usually with no intention of malice, but simply because different people have different priorities. When your day is interrupted or your progress stalls, it’s easy for your mindset to collapse as well. You may feel guilty for not following through on what you intended to do. But you are not guilty, you are human. Everyone gets distracted. In many ways, the real divide is between those who get back on track quickly and those who let interruptions expand into longer periods of inactivity. Top performers get back on track faster than most. This is the skill to develop. You will be interrupted, but you can choose to keep it brief.’ (J.Clear)

Proactive: Idea #12
‘Be Proactive.’ (S.R.Covey) This is more than just leading out, taking the initiative. This means taking responsibility for our lives, both personal and professional. We get to shape ourselves because of our decisions, not the conditions that we find ourselves in. We are responsible for making things happen, the ability to choose how to respond to our environment and the events coming our way.

Accountable: Idea #11
‘Accountability. Be accountable for your results. It takes commitment, responsibility and determination to go after your goals and dreams. Do a little extra every day, and watch how far you go.’ (J.Maxwell) If you blame others for your lack of results you will never achieve your full potential. We usually don’t see “behind the scenes” at all the hard work, practice, and difficulties an elite athlete faces while preparing to win an event. In the same way, every person that wants to be excellent in all they do has their share of “behind the scenes” efforts that can be discouraging, tiring, and even feel impossible – however, with persistence and diligence you will succeed.
