Like I said in my last “Charlois Life” post, I’m finally getting it together, although I’m not in the zone yet. It seems that the Universe is conspiring against me. I know that’s not true; the Universe only wants what I ask of it. My self-sabotaging subconscious is the cause of my problems. That and a cantankerous computer.
But here we are. I have several teams working with me: my mental health team, my medical team, my support team, and now a life coach. We have a basic operating structure set up with routines in place to make sure I’m on track. I also have goals: a one year, a five year, and ten-year goals. The next step is to have some self-discipline to make it all work.
I just finished reading a book by Brian Tracy, “No Excuses,” that I’ll be reviewing on Friday. For now, let me just say it talks a lot about self-discipline. In it he quotes a number of people who agree. They say success is impossible without self-discipline. I tend to agree as well. From here I have to address a weakness; I have not been very disciplined up until now.
That is one of the reasons for such organization. It gives me and my teams a template to work with. Assuring that I stay focused on the road ahead. I am 67 years old, but not done yet. If I want to accomplish anything of significance, I need to stay focused.
If there is one take away to this post it is, develop goals, and plans, then have the discipline to carry them out. We can do almost anything we set our minds to if we follow the plan.
Until next time,
Peace and prosperity to you,
Yancy Adamson
