Success Tip: Prepare For A Marathon, Not A Sprint!
Are you stressed and worried out of your mind over the financial crisis? Are you having a hard time managing your life and your kid’s sports schedule? Are you constantly going and never stopping to catch a breath?
You’ve got to prepare for the marathon, not for the sprint.
So many people today are so busy chasing after so many things and are dealing with high stress levels at home with the kids, with finances and jobs. The truth is we are not operating optimally. Just imagine for a second there’s a brain surgeon who has a fight with his wife or with his teenager about not spending time with the family …. and he comes in to perform major surgery. That’s not the guy I want operating on me – there’s no question about that. Most of us make mistakes in our jobs and add on extra stress because we are not focused on the one task at hand.
Identifying your true priorities, then strategically planning your time and sticking to your plan will make or break your long-term success and true happiness in your life. Start by asking yourself, if I died tomorrow, and looked back on my life, what would I have done more of and who would I have spent more time with? Then start to block out time daily, weekly, monthly to do these things. I promise you, if you learn to do this you will be able to run the marathon instead of burning out like you’re running a sprint.
If you’re not clear on what you want, and where you want to go, then life will live you instead of you living life. You really can chart your course and create the life and lifestyle of your dreams if you’re willing to learn a few, simple skills and shortcuts to get the results you want.
