You have your road map, so you think? Yes, you must have a map of where you are going so know what your next “highway” will be or where you will be “turning next” but what if your roadmap is a map of the East Coast? If you are starting on on the west coast, you know you are heading East but do you know where? That is the general vicinity but way to general to keep you focused or to ensure you end up where desired Just like this example, you must be specific with not only your goals but how you are going to get there? Being general will only get you so far! I am proud of you for having goals and aspiring to get better and make improvements but now my question to you is how are you going to get there and what does your roadmap look like? If your goals are too vague or unstructured, you’ll find that attaining them is difficult. Wanting to lose 30 pounds is a wonderful goal, but you need a plan to get you on the right track. How are you going to do that? What steps are you going to take right now to chop away at those unwanted pounds? It is much easier to come up with your specific roadmap but today I would like to to give it some thought. Think about your goals and form a SPECIFIC plan to achieve them. Write them down, chart your progress in your Personal Log, refer to them as often as you need to stay on track, and most importantly, hold yourself accountable. One you have your roadmap, let it guide you to your destination!
While watching Dr. Oz yesterday, I caught a few words from Deepak Chopra, “Sit down for a few minutes and ask yourself ‘Who am I, Where am I going & What do I want?” Those are some of the hardest questions you will ever be faced with! Give it a try and see if you can start to formulate your map!
