278: 2017 Blueprint For Achievement

I used to set a lot of goals. I didn't achieve most of them. I thought about them a lot & wanted them badly - I even had a plan for achieving them. But routinely, I failed to do the work and, year after year, I had less confidence in my ability to achieve. Fortunately, things have changed. I have changed. And in today's episode I want to share with you my 2017 blueprint for achievement, completely goal-free. http://primalpotential.com/278-2017-blueprint/ 2017 Blueprint for Achievement When I set goals, I didn't realize at the time that I was basically convincing myself that things, as they were right now, weren't enough and I was always wishing for some future point in time. When I lost weight... When I had more money... When my relationship was better... By always wishing for a different time, place, or circumstance, I wasn't fully present in the moment. And not being fully present, I couldn't really take advantage of the ONLY time & place where change was possible: the present. But, I'm a high achiever. I don't want to settle. How to remain fully present in the current moment and also reach my highest potential? I do that by having a manifesto or a blueprint. By creating the standards by which I want to live my life and focusing on them each day, the results take care of themselves. When I live according to my values and principles, the outcomes are a byproduct without sacrificing mindfulness and gratitude. In today's episode, I'm sharing with you my revised manifesto. I created it and put it up on the Primal Potential blog in August of 2015 and boy does it ever need some updating. I hope you'll tune in to hear my blueprint for success in 2017 and also take some time to create your own. I am strong with purpose & light at heart I give myself the best I look for chances to make myself proud I travel light, refusing to carry what's not mine to hold I cherish those who cherish me No matter what happens, I am not a victim Life is hard, and I'm grateful for the challenges I am unapologetically authentic and those who don't accept that help me ensure my inner circle is true & real I spend for more time acting on what I want than thinking about it My attention flows to solutions, not problems I challenge myself to go a step further than I think I can I make no assumptions – when I am unclear, I ask questions I never lie, especially to myself I am generous with my time, my heart and my money I am patient with myself and everyone I meet I appreciate moment and maximize minutes I outwork yesterday's best Doubt is a liar and courage will set me free
