Stress is the enemy of success.
You know, and I know, that there are unique gifts we both have that need to be developed.
It’s all very well talking about fulfilling your potential but it doesn’t mean anything unless you invest your energies in the things you love and that will help you develop transferrable skills, as well as resilience, in other areas.
I’ve talked about Minimum Effective Dose – what do you need to be doing on a daily basis to help you improve?
I will admit, I set a list a short while ago of things to do daily but I have fallen short of that but we don’t strive for perfection do we! We strive for progress.
Whether it takes you 1, 2, 5 or 10 years to accomplish something, everything has its pace and, as we both know by now, the journey is just as important as the destination (I don’t believe in one being better than the other).
Accomplishment and satisfaction come from completing things and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I am lucky to have someone in my life who recognises my abilities and encourages (not pressurises) me to do and be my best. He wouldn’t do it if I was not capable.
Hopefully you have such a person around you but if you don’t, start to imagine what you’re life would look like if you committed to your development and start taking SMALL steps to your goal(s).
It’s all within you.
Have a fabulous weekend.
