A HUGE part of achieving any sort of success is consistency. Consistency to take action, Consistency to do it a little bit better than last time but I believe most importantly of all Consistency to remind ourselves just WHY we're doing what we're doing.
All to often we get caught up in the day to day dramas of life and business which can lead to the real danger on focusing on the wrong things and putting out the spot fires, now don't get me wrong we have to deal with all spot fires when they arise but not to the point that's all we focus on because if we do that then that's all we see and your dream starts to fade away and all we are left with is the work and the stress.
People primarily have two motivating factors, their desire to experience pleasure and their desire to avoid pain and which one determines their actions will be determined to how the perceive they pleasure/pain ratio.
Like the old Divinyls song says "There's a fine line between Pleasure and Pain"
If we only concentrate on the problems and forget why we are waging war on a mediocre life our nervous system will perceive our pursuit as painful and send messages to the brain to move away from it but if we remember to regularly review our goals, look at our vision boards, visualise our successes and give thanks on a daily basis our nervous systems will link pleasure to handling those problems because it brings us closer to what we want.
Again like most things it's all a matter of perception and what we choose to focus on. So remember to focus on your WHY and the how will take care of itself.
Have an Exceptional week
