Do you currently have a mentor? Are you having regular sessions? I know I have some improvements in this area of my life, especially if I want to acknowledge ‘the law of modeling. It says that it is hard to improve when you have no one but yourself to follow. Most of us grow because we saw someone else grow, develop, and progress. Get out and meet people who are able to show you a new path. Follow in the footsteps of a mentor or model.’ (J.Maxwell) Are you actively meeting new people? Are you asking questions that will help you grow and improve? I can vouch that doing so is highly beneficial.

Open: Idea #561
Quick question. Do you spend more time thinking about the future, or the past? ‘My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.’ (C.Kettering) Have you ever thought of your work like that? So how can we achieve the future we want to have? ‘Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.’ (P.Coelhe) Again, this thought points to the importance of having a plan, knowing the steps needed to get to our end goal. Let’s keep our eyes open, shall we?

Tradeoff: Idea #560
You probably haven’t thought about what you need to give up in order to have more, in order to grow and improve. It’s much easier to go along if we can forget about ‘the law of tradeoffs. It says that we have to give up to go up. In order to go higher, you have to go lighter and tradeoff for things that are more important. You will grow out of things, and while it may be harder to give things up as you continue higher in your journey, it is worth the tradeoff!’ (J.Maxwell) I know that in every-day life I tend to hoard things, to want to keep things – just in case…However, what we have are limited resources, we have limited time, so we need to be clear about what is most important, and what we need to give up in order to succeed.
