Never start a day until you finish it
Oct 20, 2021 12:01 pm
Hello ,
A lot of people talk about how goal setting has never really worked for them and I can relate to that.
For a very long time it was pretty much the same for me...
I set goals and never achieved them.
Not even close.
But looking back now I realise that a great deal of the time...
What I thought were goals...
Were actually nothing but wishes.
Things that I never really actually committed to.
Especially when it came to financial goals.
The missing link for me was not knowing how to effectively break down a big goal into small daily action steps.
I'd set a goal to make such and such an amount of money...
But I'd never actually sit down to think about what exactly I'd do to make that money...
And I'd never evaluate my actions on a daily basis to see if my daily actions were taking me closer or further away from my goals..
Can you relate?
The way to put a stop to that is to never start a day until you've finished it.
What that means is each and every day you before you go to bed...
Take out your goals and map out what specific things you'll be doing the next day to move closer to your goals.
What will you do?
Who will you talk to?
Where will you go?
When you do this...
When you plan your day the night before...
You force yourself to focus on what you expect from the day...
When you focus on what you want for the next day...
Your brain goes to work as you sleep...
And more often than not you wake up inspire and with definite ideas for making it happen.
But don't just stop there...
Also take time out to evaluate your day...
As yourself these three questions...
What was good about today?
What did I learn from today?
What would I need to do next time to get even better results.
Keep a journal where you write down all your answers.
Most people don't realise that wisdom compounds.
When you take the time to squeeze bites of wisdom from your day and actually document them...
You give your brain raw materials for helping you make better decisions.
Back when I first started dating my wife...
One of the things I did was keep a journal about our dates and interactions.
Weird right?
Every time we met...
After I got home I'd get out my journal and answer the three questions.
What was good about my date today?
What did I learn?
How can I make it better next time?
Over the years I amassed a lot of information about my wife to the point where...
I almost always know what she's thinking...
When I finally asked her to marry me...
She didn't stand a chance...
It was a slam dunk.
Because I knew her...
And she understood that I totally understood her.
A lot of work to get a girl right?
Well...
That level of conscious deliberate study of my wife has meant..
I now have a partner who loves me like crazy and would literally take a bullet for me.
It has also meant that when the going gets tough...
I know exactly how to handle things so that we don't kill each other.
But I didn't just wake up with a great relationship with my wife..
I worked at it daily...
Evaluated my results...daily
Planned better...daily
That's the way it is with literally everything else you want to get in life that's important.
Mike Murdock (one of my favorite preachers) is fond of saying...
"The secret of your future is in your daily routine"
I believe that totally.
So starting tonight...
Take another look at your goals...
What specific actions will you take tomorrow to move closer to their accomplishment?
What have you done today?
What were the results?
What have you learned?
What will you do tomorrow to get better results?
