Over the years I’ve learned that having too many goals will ensure you never complete all of them, and in fact may not complete any. ‘You’ll probably surprise yourself with what you can accomplish – if you’re focused on one thing. You’ll probably frustrate yourself with what you fail to accomplish – if you’re doing 5 or 7 or 10 things. Nobody performs well when stretched in a half dozen directions.’ (J.Clear) Having a single focused goal will enable you to achieve huge successes, because you’re focused like a laser beam on what is important to achieve.

Interesting: Idea #507
Who wants a boring life anyway? ‘Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.’ (J.Marine) This indicates we should be welcoming new challenges as that helps bring meaning to our life. And as with any challenge, new challenges call for resilience. ‘Resiliency is the art of learning to repeatedly refuse to do anything else other than rise again after ANY and ALL set-backs!’ (B.Jett) In wrapping this all together, if you’re looking for meaning in your life, learn how to keep getting up after every set-back. Is it easy? Not really. Is it worth it? For sure!

Motives: Idea #506
Why do we do the things we do? What are our motives? ‘Motives matter because people matter. As leaders, we can either manipulate people for personal gain and advantage (which is always wrong), or we can motivate them for mutual advantage (which is always right). It is important to do the right things for the right reasons.’ (J.Maxwell) Doing something good (like personal growth and development) for the wrong reasons will end up with bad results. Join me in checking out the motives behind spending time developing ourselves.
