This blog by John Maxwell is spot on. The first step in improving your life, is to improve yourself. What are you working on today to improve and enhance, you?
A great mentor once told me that the first thing you should do everyday is pick the one thing you will do that will scare you and get it on your calendar. She didn’t do this once every few years or months, it was an everyday practice. Everyday is a chess move or two. Success does not happen over night and we have to be committed to the long term plan and taking the strategic “chess” moves.
End each day with reflection and give yourself a pat on the back for your hard work and note the opportunities for growth and do something about those!
