Inevitable Success By Robin Sharma
A simple reminder: goals work. They may not be sexy but every great project, every great business and every great life was a result of audacious, disciplined goals.
And the thing about goals is that there is a balance. On the one hand they need to be ambitious enough to be inspiring. Yet, on the other hand they need to be realistic enough to be achievable. A great way to negotiate this balance is with small daily wins. Small daily wins are simple steps--1% changes--that you take everyday.
So, set audacious goals and then think about them in terms of small daily improvements. Can you be 1% healthier than the day before? 1% more productive at work? 1% more loving with your family? This may not seem like much at all but think about it--after 30 days of this your life will be 30% better. And 1% wins build on each other. By doing a little bit each day you prove to yourself that you are making progress and that makes the next step easier.
Additionally, by doing a little bit each day you create habits. And it's these daily success habits that will quickly set you apart from the crowd.
And finally, remember that you will slip up and miss the mark sometimes. When you are going after your biggest life you are bound to fail. That's okay. Pick yourself up, journal it and move on. This is an essential part of the journey. In fact, the more failures I experience the closer I know I'm getting to my vision.
