There is a quote I reference often by Zig Ziglar that says, \u201cyou do not have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.\u201d\u00a0 Martin Luther King Jr said, \u201cyou do not need to see the whole stair case to take the first step.\u201d\u00a0 Another way to think about this concept is if you drive at night, you can only see 200 or so feet in front of you but that does not mean you do not keep driving.\u00a0 You can travel from LA to NY 200 feet at a time.
\nWhy is this important?\u00a0 Grant Cardone teaches that we need to set goals large enough that motivate us to be creative.\u00a0 The problem is most will not set a goal if they cannot see the path to accomplish such a goal.\u00a0 This is what limits most of us to ordinary, average and if we are honest mediocre lives.\u00a0 We justify it by saying we need work life balance or there are more important things in life.\u00a0 Then we wonder why it is so hard to be happy.
\nWe are created to have success in abundance.\u00a0 It is not limited to one area of our life.\u00a0 The justification of balance can cause confusion.\u00a0 I attest that we can have balance in life even with time spent in each are is unequal.\u00a0 What I mean is we can have a very successful work life, home life, personal life and spiritual life without spending equal time in each.\u00a0 It simply requires a commitment in the moment and motivation for large goals in each area.
\nWrite down each morning your goals in each are that you have not yet achieved in the present tense.\u00a0 Then get started on your day.\u00a0 Before you lay down at night repeat these goals and let your mind work on the path while you rest.\u00a0 Continue this process and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in each area.\u00a0 At times you may spend more time on one than the other but you will realize you can have it all.\u00a0 Gentlemen start your engines!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
