Have you noticed that often there is a model or a story that takes a whole bunch of theory that you understood ‘intellectually’ before – but allows you to ‘get it’.
Today let’s imagine there is a see-saw of success in your life right now. And life is best when the see-saw is level, I mean horizontal.
On each end of the see-saw are boxes with your “Rules” for success.
For today – just imagine that in the box on your left is “How you do anything is how you everything”. This is a formula for excellence. Or mediocrity. Do it properly or do it so it needs ‘fixing’ later.
In the box on your right is “You can do anything you want – but not everything.” This is a formula for selection and focus. If you attempt to do everything – what happens? When you choose very specific things to get done – and focus on them – what usually happens?
What angle is your see-saw at right now? Are you overwhelmed with things to do and you try to do them all? Or are you doing a few things done perfectly – but they are not the things that will give you the success you want in life?
More on this tomorrow.
