The time and energy you invest daily, towards preparing for the inevitable opportunity, which will cross your path, at some point, is time well spent. As your consistent lifelong commitment to on-going preparation, is fundamental to developing your self-confidence and a resolute belief in your abilities, both are key to your sustainable long term success. This is one of the best investments you will ever make in your future, which will exponentially grow your value and which is free from the ravages of negative sentiment.

Stop Trying to Change the things you cannot Change
To realize the success you desire and deserve, you must immediately stop living a vicarious life, in which you waste your valuable time and energy on things you cannot change, or on frivolous pastimes, which at best distract you in the moment, instead invest most, if not all of your time into activities, which inspire you and will make you both passionate, happy, driven and have real meaning for you. Life is not a dress rehearsal, every moment you live or waste, is the real deal and is gone forever.

You Trade your Time for Success
Life is a series of trade-offs, you are effectively forced to choose how to use or squander your time, during every moment of every day. Remember, every wasted moment is spent forever, whereas every moment invested wisely, into your personal growth, towards achieving a dream or inviting meaning into your experience, grows and expands who you are. Time and therefore your life are traded for the things you choose to do or not to do. You have an incredible privilege right now, that privilege is awareness. Use that awareness to create the life of your dreams by investing every moment wisely and have no regrets about what you did with your precious life.

Wrestle Back Control
Make the conscious decision today, to finally wrestle back control, of how you apply your available time. Accept and unequivocally believe that you can change your poor time management habits, into a set of daily positive success habits, which will guide you to take the goal specific actions you need to take to succeed and achieve greatness.

Action Idea: Identify the few crucial new behaviours you need to develop, to support you to take the actions you need to take to achieve the vision you have for the future. Now use your willpower daily to help you to perform these new behaviours, until they become an ingrained part of your new success habit set. Research has shown that once people have repeated any new behaviour for around 66 days, that new behaviour becomes and entrenched new habit. Success is not something you pursue, it is something you attract by taking the right actions daily and becoming the type of person you need to be to deserve the success you desire.

Prioritise and Focus
Stop focusing your efforts on performing minor tasks, which keep your accumulative achievements minor and finally commit to invest your most precious possession, namely your time, into performing daily activities, which will contribute to your breakthrough achievements. When you remove the clutter from your life, you focus your energy on a few major priorities and you commit to consistently apply inspired action and energy daily towards these priorities, success becomes possible and inviting meaning and fulfilment into your experience inevitable.

Focus your Mind, Activities and Energy
Make a determined decision today to stop dawdling any longer, where you keep avoiding taking the daily actions you know are necessary to succeed. It is time to accept 100 % responsibility for your success and to realise that unless you make some crucial behavioural changes, you will remain trapped in average.

Make a start right NOW and begin taking those consistent small steps daily, you need to take, which will add up over time and will eventually deliver the meaning and fulfilment you desire. As you remain committed to daily action, you will gradually begin to see results. This will allow you to absorb confidence and the positive feelings about your potential will grow daily, which will encourage you to take even more baby steps. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is one of those RISKS in life you can’t afford not to take.

Action Idea: Review all your important thoughts, goals, projects and daily To-Do’s. Record them into a highly organized and efficient system, which will allow you to detach from issues, which you are unable to handle right now, yet allow you to have laser focus to direct towards the tasks, commitments and projects, which need to be completed right now. The highest levels of productivity and decision making ability occurs when we have a completely focused mind and you focus your energy on carrying out the right activities.

Learn to leverage time to your advantage and commit to carry out small focused meaningful tasks at predetermined times every day. This will allow you to create an environment of success, in which you can succeed at anything you desire. Schedule and perform these daily actions in time slots, which I call “MEETINGS WITH YOUR FUTURE” and you will get to position time as your ally, where it will support your efforts and unlock your hidden potential. You truly are magnificent, learn to use your available time properly and you and the world will get to see this brilliance shine.
