Create your life through dedication, discipline, and deadlines.

Success, in whatever form it takes for you, is not just wishful thinking

We buy a motivational book, hear a motivational speaker, or listen to a webinar and we come to the conclusion that with little or no effort on our part, except for wishful thinking, we can sit back and wait patiently for success to walk through our door. No wonder we have shattered dreams and broken lives.

Success is innate, but it still has to be ignited by your actions

Even though we harbour within ourselves the means to achieve an unimaginable level of success, we still need to take action to receive our end goal, and this is The Law.

Don’t just TRY to achieve your goals

It seems that many try to achieve their goals, but, they try until the next great idea comes along and then they try that one for a while and the cycle goes on and on. In the end, they just give up and believe that success is meant for everyone else except for them. However, when we try to reach our goals, we really are not giving it our all, it is just a half-hearted attempt and this lack of commitment keeps success just out of reach.

A simple, yet precise path for your success

Rather than just try to achieve our dreams, we need to follow this simple, yet effective formula to accomplish those lofty aspirations: dedication, discipline, and deadlines. 

Dedication is the STICKTIVITY in our lives

Dedication is making that extra effort when you tired, beat-down, and held-back from achieving your goals. Yet, we must endure even when things look the bleakest to accomplish what we want from life. It often happens that our greatest set-back prepares us for our greatest triumph. In order to be able to have sticktivity in our lives, it is important to make the right choice initially. This way, if there are some bumps upon the road to success, you still keep going around, under, or through those roadblocks.  

Discipline is the deal breaker and deal maker

Discipline is doing what you need to do even though you may not want to do it. It is easy to get distracted in our techno world. Still, something must be done, anything, no matter how small each and every day to move you towards your goals. When we think about sales, it is not always the smoothest talker that achieves success, rather, it is the most disciplined who do certain things regularly that succeed in a big way.

Deadlines are the crucial yardstick for success

Deadlines keep us on track, so, they are a crucial yardstick for success. Still, if you let deadlines manifest negative emotions, you only drive success further away from you. Manage your deadlines and do not allow your deadlines to manage your emotions.  

Attaining success is a easy as the three D’s

While we have to work at our goals, there are ways to be sure we keep on track when we are tired and up against it. As you pursue your lofty dreams in life, remember The Triple D’s and the impact they can have upon your achievements.

If you don’t have a plan to succeed, you do have a plan to fail.

Natural Laws guide the universe 

Continuous growth and expansion are innate within the universe and thus, within humankind since we are under the influence of the same Natural Laws which guide and sustain our terrestrial home.

Most lack to plan a plan

However, while the universe continues to grow ever larger, humankind often suffers miserably from lack and want. These conditions do not manifest from a malevolent Source, rather, from a lack of planning and action to achieve what we want and deserve from life.

Do you write down your goals? 

It is safe to say that all of us want to succeed in life, still, while we say one thing, we often do just the opposite. Think about your own situation: when was the last time you wrote down your goals? When was the last time that you asked yourself what you wanted to achieve in the next 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years?

How long did you take to plan your last vacation? 

Now, think about how much time you have taken to plan your next vacation? I am not a betting man, nevertheless, I would venture to guess that more time is spent planning that winter get-away than where you want to be and what you want to achieve over the next few years.

Written goals and success go hand-in-hand

Sadly, statistics indicate that 95% of us do not commit our goals to paper and coincidentally, there is a correlation between writing down your goals and achieving your goals. When we write down our goals we begin to set in motion the people and the circumstances that are needed to achieve our dreams.

Adventurer John Goddard

Take the example of adventurer, lecturer, author, and explorer, John Goddard (1924-2013). At the age of 15, he made a list of 127 goals he wanted to achieve in his life which included kayaking down the Nile River and climbing the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Before he died at age 88, he had accomplished 120 of his 127 goals. As a teenager, this precocious lad was quoted as saying:

“I was sure that if I planned for it, I could have a life of excitement and fun and knowledge.”

Discipline, deadlines, and dedication

After a lifetime, who some may say is the world’s greatest goal achiever, John Goddard almost achieved every item on his impressive list. How can you achieve what this amazing person accomplished? You need discipline, deadlines, and dedication! Daily, take a few moments to write down the steps needed to bring you closer to your dream and all the while, having commitment so you never give-up on that goal.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world

In the end, your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. If you allow the wind to carry you over here and over there, it is safe to say that you will most likely not achieve a long list of accomplishments. Or, if you rely upon fate or chance to achieve what you want from life, you definitely have a plan, albeit, a plan that lacks focus.

We have the means to achieve what we desire to achieve

Be confident; if the Source can provide you with a goal, the Source can provide you with the means to achieve the goal.
