Give me land. Large tracts of land. Provide personal protection. Jabez (Great job Pastor Mo @ Mountain West Church)
We need to see where we want to go and begin to pursue that. Consistently. Relentless pursuit through your process of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually.
I have often heard it said that you can eat an elephant if you take one bite at a time. It is the same process with our goals and growth. Whether it is for you personally to begin exercising, eat better, read more, network more, etc. Or if it is for your team, department or company. It is the relentless pursuit, effort and commitment, that we will achieve what we have decided to accomplish.
Personally, my commitment to better health is my Dad’s stroke that he had at age 52. One of the things that drives my behavior is the pursuit of trying to do better than my Dad did. So far, it is working. I get to hang out with my kids and have a blast with my 9 grand kids because I’m healthy enough to keep up. Am I perfect. Heck no! Sometimes the wrong food choice. Sometimes I give my exercise to away to business or laziness. But the next day I try to eat better and get back downstairs to my gym. I have made a lifetime commitment to participate with my family and clients as long as I can.
The same applies to all of us in every area of our life. The commitment to whatever it takes. Even when we miss it by a mile. We get up. We learn. We adjust. Then we get back to the relentless pursuit of our calling or goals. Regroup. Call the team or family together. Debrief the details of what got us off course. Adjust. Establish new strategies, tasks or processes and let’s GO!
It is the small bite. The baby step. The hour by hour. Day by Day. Month by month commitment to WE CAN DO THIS! Moving forward. Measuring. Reviewing. Adjusting. Moving forward. Measuring. Reviewing. Adjusting. Repeat. Repeat. In 6 months, 12 month 24 months, 36 months you will be there or be very close.
You totally have this! You can absolutely be doing what ever you put your mind and effort toward! And, 2022 is the year to start! On your mark. Get set. GO!
