The Art of Moving Past Frustration

When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?

I used to be that way. Something changed.

I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:

1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by others, but they still have nothing to do with me.

2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always... always... always. You may not like the path. Your ego may get in the way. It may scare you. There is always a way.

The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want. Find it.

It’s All About ONE Important Thing

It’s All About ONE Important Thing

I have a question for you.

What is your ONE most important activity?

What is the ONE core activity that, if you do, everything else is fine?

What is the ONE core activity that, if you don’t do it, causes everything to fall apart?

Many people focus on anything but the most critical activity in their lives. They are usually surprised when things fall apart.

Is it showing up for work on time or doing a great job?

Could it be your unflinching attention to your family?

Does your business have ONE activity that causes people to buy from you?

When you focus on your ONE most important activity - everything else will take care of itself.

Filter, Focus, and Prioritize Your Path

Filter, Focus, and Prioritize Your Path

My wife and I were having dinner this weekend. She finally asked, “Are you going to tell me what you’re doing for Operation Reinvention this Summer? I want to help.”

I said, “I won’t need your help. I need your support.”

She had a puzzled look. I don’t blame her. But, I am locked in on my Goal - and that needs two things:

1) The ability to filter out what doesn’t matter and prioritize what does.

2) Accept 100% responsibility for reaching your Goal. As they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” Anything less will remove you from control.

You’ll find many well-meaning people offering support if you miss either one. The problem? The suggestions they make will be different from how you imagined your journey. As soon as that happens, you have pulled off your path.

If you are setting off on a life-transforming Goal, it’s okay to accept the support of others. Remember, your most important supporter is YOU!
