What do you often hear from others when you ask “How are you doing?” Without a doubt, I almost always hear the word BUSY. I don’t hide my frustration very well when I hear this from those I coach. BUSY IS A BAD FOUR LETTER WORD.
I have ONE BIG GOAL THIS MONTH. If you followed me around, you would see it is true. It is fixed upon my mind. I have broken it down into smaller pieces. As Phelps goal was to win back that gold medal, he broke the goal down into smaller steps, he faithfully practiced those steps until the goal was to simply touch that wall first. No matter what he was doing up to that point, it was all to accomplish the one goal.
Dreams don’t come true because you hope they do. Hope is a horrible strategy. I can tell when someone is going to win. They have a way about them. They are grinders. They are doing the little things every day no one notices. Then one day the world wonders how they did it.
If not, rethink your goal.
