Fall or Fail forward today......BOLD LAW for Thursday is... " Don't mistake movement for achievement "
Everybody's day get thrown off schedule ...sometimes frequently...it's called Life...Life throws all of us curveballs all the time !
The key is this...can you recognize that ? Do you know when to be pulled off your schedule and when not too ? Successful people get distracted by life too but , they still achieve versus just move.
Getting pulled away from activities by every little distraction to chase something else on a " to - do " list is just an excuse to not do what you know you really should do , but don't want to do.
Movement is easier to do than achievement.
Achievement is simple , but not easy.
Movement does not pay as well as achievement does.
Movement, chasing every little shiny object can be exciting . and it takes up your whole day and can be exhausting ! I'd rather be exhausted by achievement at the end of the day !
When you absolutely have to attend to something that cannot wait , that's okay. take care of it ! Then , how quickly can you get back to the Achievement part of your business ? Hopefully , it's only hours and not days and weeks. Don't be a drama queen ! Handle that concern, that unexpected curveball , and then get back on the horse !
" Having a high tolerance for boredom is an underrated SUPER POWER ! "....be super purposeful.....from the book " Grit " by Angela Duckworth
Focus on Achievement , not movement today...hope this helps !
