It’s hard to believe that in just a few short weeks we will be celebrating the first day of Fall 2018. I’m in absolute disbelief since I still have so many things that I had planned for Summer 2018 undone. If you are like me, you are feeling the same way. The upside of this is that its not over, until its over, so shift those Summer goals to Fall. I’m definitely not rewarding you if you have sat around like a lump of clay all Summer and are now wondering why your ass is the size of Nebraska. What I am saying is that is not to late to shrink it down to at least the size of North Carolina. All jokes aside, we set goals all the time but tend to fail to put in the work needed to achieve them. Why is that?
No clear plan of action.
No consistent effort to carry out said plan.
No ACTION period!
Many people will list 20 reasons why we fail. I could whittle it down to 1, no action! Nothing in this world happens without you taking small daily steps toward your goals. My tribe tires of me relentlessly drilling discipline, consistency and structure into their daily lives but its necessary. You must have the discipline to follow through on what you said you were going to do, whether that is doing 10 burpees or washing the dishes. You must be consistent in your efforts because being on the first floor and climbing half the stairs will not get you to the second floor. There has to be consistent effort deployed until you reach the top. Most importantly and I say this in the kindest way possible – You must move your ass. No one is coming to save you. If you don’t get up and take charge of your life, no one is knocking at the door to put the broken pieces back together – NO ONE IS COMING!
All that being said, take a moment today to figure out what your goals are for the Fall. Break those larger goals down into small attainable chunks of success. Rome was not built in a day so you will not have a six pack if there is currently a pillow caressing your upper thighs when you sit down. Be real here, you can’t lie to yourself because you know you are lying. Make truthful goals and be fair and patient with yourself as you attain them.
We all fail daily and we all succeed together. That is the beauty of being undeniably flawed. Embrace failure and success but never ever settle where you are not ready to be planted.
Love this tribe. Love changing the world, one person at a time.
Fall 2018 – Show me what you got!
