The new year is upon us and people will crawl to a gym, church or library after their hang over subsides.
New Year's Resolutions never work because they are rooted in the obligatory.
The flipping of a calendar cannot determine when you are going to change your life. You have to make that (often difficult) decision for yourself.
Behavior Change is what keeps our society evolving. There are 5 simple concepts that you can apply with a certain degree of discipline that will change your life forever.
Let's Go.....
Reflect Upon the Positive
Worry keeps us up at night. Such concern limits sleep over problems that seldom manifest themselves. Why do we spend our time reflecting upon our embarrassments or failures? When was the last time you sat up at night thinking about all of the wonderful things you have achieved in your life?
Recall the little league championship you and your friends won. Think about the talent show you participated in and the joy that it brought to you. Remember the walk in the park with your dad, when your dog licked your face or the time you put your life on hold to hear an old man's story.
Harness all that glory and take it with you into today.
Dismantle Convention
We live in a time when everyone has an opinion and the ability to broadcast it. This saturates the free idea market and makes it difficult to find authenticity.
Most people are not very inventive so they use social publication to regurgitate old ideas.
You have been granted to opportunity to participate.... what are you waiting for?
Think about what has not been done. Dismantle the traditional process.
Take Control of Your Life Within The Format for Success
There may come a point in your life when you decide to quit your job to work on a fishing boat in Alaska....
You might want to consider a way to lead a successful life on your own terms while still working within a system.
Consider what you are fighting for and if all the dragons have been slayed.
You can live a life of glory while carrying the bag for another.
Don't Chase the Paper, Chase the Dream!
Glory and Success are a state of mind. YOUR perception controls every day. Any job can be perfect or really bad..... the choice is yours.
Unzip Your Soul
People are going to mess up. The easiest thing in life is to wait arms folded in judgement of others. Every thing you do will involve people... and their ability to annoy is extraordinary!
Find a way to give people the benefit of the doubt, accept their short-comings and try to exercise some empathy.
Don't Forget to Remember!
Routine kills creativity. Doing the same thing day in and day out will bring comfort but not happiness. The easiest thing to do is copy the routine of another. It is far more difficult to assert your creative force and re-discover the possibilities life has to offer.
Life has one great certainty: If you are willing to work harder than anyone else, you will succeed.
To Recap:
1. Reflect
2. Dismantle
3. Maintain Your Mission
4. Exercise Empathy
5. Repeat the Process (every day)
Don't Forget to Remember,
Dave
