This week’s principle is resourcefulness. Many people feel they cannot accomplish certain goals in their life because of their limited resources. Time, money, education, these are all resources that many feel are their limitations. Resourcefulness is an attitude that anything is possible because instead of focusing on our limited resources we focus on being resourceful and creating or finding the resources needed to acheive our goals.
Due to my crazy busy trip in LA last week I was unable to post to my blog. I hope those of you that view this blog are also facebook fans of “Addict at 10″ which is where I post regular updates about what’s going on with me and the book. This week the blog is about commitment. In order to acheive any lofty goal we must be able to stay committed when the going gets tough and when we are full of fear and doubt. Any great challenge that I have overcome has required that I mantain a “no matter what” attitude towards succeeding in my goal. Watch the video for more about this topic.
This week I am discussing the need to be able to “focus” our energy and our time in order to acheive lofty goals. So many people allow themselves to be distracted and they never put enough enregy or “focus” towards accomplishing the goals they set out for themselves. Vince Lombardi said “success requires a singleness of purpose.” A great way to apply this principle is to define your goals and then to develop your “to do list” in order to only do the things that will get you to your goals. If there is a task or activity that is not going to help get you to your spiritual, relational, emotional, physical or financial goals then it should be moved to the bottom or taken off of your “to do list.” This will help to keep you focused and give you a singleness of purpose.
