Yesterday … May 2 @ 12:00pm marked a defining moment.
At exactly 12:00pm, 33% of the year had come to completion..
The first 33% of the year is gone (pooof!).
2,892 hours down….. 5,875 to go.
Here’s the question.
How are you doing?
Seriously.
Are you on track?
Has YOUR resolution become a reality?
Are your results any different than last year?
Are your results any different that the past 5, 10, 15, 20 years?
YOU produce results.
I produce results.
We ALL produce results.
“Few” people produce results they desire.
“Many” people produce results they don’t desire.
At the end of this decade, will you have produced 10 years of results?
OR
1 year of results 10 times?
33% of the year is gone.
If the goal was to lose 40lbs this year, you should have already lost 13.3lbs.
If the goal was to work out 3X per week (156 workouts this year), you should have completed 51 workouts.
This past December I spoke in Orlando, FL at the Medical Fitness Association’s National Conference. I shared the stage with author/business coach, Will Phillips. I was particularly turned on by his speech titled “Driving Growth”. The take home message, you absolutely MUST “manage by the numbers”. When it comes to results, the numbers don’t lie.
"You Can't Manage What You Can't Measure"
Anthony Robbins
In the book Why We Make Mistakes, Joseph T. Hallinan details the reas
ons people make mistakes and why most never learn from them. His 10th point: We're unable to predict our own future actions. The great “illusion” is this; People think they can mess around in the present and somehow, in the future, they will acquire discipline. This is unlikely. If you habitually eat junk food in your youth, you'll probably continue to do so as you get older. Start smoking at a young age and you'll probably continue for decades. While we may think we’re good at predicting who--and what--we'll be in the future, the reality is another story.
Better to focus single-mindedly on what it is you’re doing right now. Yes, we need to plan for the future--to have goals--but not at the expense of missing out on the present moment. If you properly attend to the present, the future tends to be more pleasant anyway. Trying to control the future from the vantage point of the present reminds me of the saying, Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans... which perfectly illustrates the folly of human control in the universe.
Get Focused on Today.
Focus on right now.
Make “the shift” TODAY.
Circumstances don’t get better.
People get better.
It will ALL change.
When YOU change.
