Love the Grind

Focus on one goal at a time

We’ve all heard, “Keep your eye on the prize”. I think that’s good because it causes me to examine my daily habits to see if they align with my goal. After all, many of us get into ruts of behavior with our heads down, rarely looking up to see where we are heading.

Visualizing is not enough

Visualizing where you want to go and creating a cadence of strategic steps to get there is fundamental to goal achievement. But it is not enough.

Goal achievers know and practice 2 KEY DIFFERENCE MAKERS:

They FOCUS on ONE Goal at a time.

Rather than juggling five ambitions, they zero in on the one that matters most right now. They may have other goals in mind, but they don’t write them down or talk about them. Instead, they write down and talk about everything pertaining to the one goal.

They ENJOY the process MORE than the achievement of the goal itself

Each day, they make small promises toward the goal, and they keep them. This creates confidence, momentum, and strength. Achieving is discovered in the daily grind, not on the podium. In fact, the gold medal is simply the outcome of daily training.

It’s the right goal selection that creates the best training plan.

And so it’s the daily grind and the training… not the goal that changes your life!

It has taken many years for me to understand
how to achieve the right goals the right way.
