Succeed More, Assume Less

My 2011 resolutions:
To climb more, carry less
To hear more, talk less
To succeed more, assume less
To invent more, resist less
To excel more, compete less


It's been 7 weeks now into 2011, and some resolutions have failed.  Rather, I have failed some of my resolutions.  I'm going to take accountability, re-commit and get back to work.


There are too many times when we hear advice that we already know.  It certainly is not the advice that is holding us back or the fact that we know the outcome, it is simply ourselves.  Now, I don't claim to have a "magic" answer or solution, however, I do have some advice that could possibly get you to where you're going.  Get out of your own way and stop listening to the same crap you keep telling yourself.  You know it's not working!

Change your attitude and change your life.  Even a subtle change in our thinking can have a butterfly effect on our lives. Lift your thinking just a little higher, and the outcome will be greater beyond your power to predict.  Don't try to focus so much on what the task is, rather, the fact that it is helping you.  If you spend any time on things that don't benefit you - I suggest trade it in for something that does. 

Second, stop listening to EVERYONE.  Find yourself a coach, best friend, mentor or trusted family member that you can rely on. 

Focus on you...focus on how you can treat yourself better.  And, remember, it's always a good time to prune.  Good fortune for the next 45 weeks!
