Once you have clarified your goal and really believe it is possible, and see yourself achieving it, AND take consistent action aligned with your goal, THEN it’s about making sure you measure what will give you the information you need that helps you know you are making the progress you need to in order to achieve your goal.

Last week, I talked about belief and the power of the mind and what’s possible. You can think and believe all you want but if you don’t have accompanying action, not a lot is going to happen. So, it’s not ALL about JUST believing. It’s most important to engage in action that is aligned with what you believe.

Last week, I told a story about an interaction with my stepson where I asked him to cut a watermelon. I showed him how to do it but I neglected to share an important detail in the story.

The other day, I asked my stepson to cut a watermelon to help with preparing dinner. It was a large watermelon and he was overwhelmed by the task – not sure he could safely do it without cutting himself, and he didn’t know how to “properly” cut a watermelon.

Today, we are focused on focusing and prioritizing. I use the present tense because, in this day of upheaval, uncertainty, constant change and where many people undiagnosed have ADD…attention deficit…difficulty focusing. We all need help, at times, to stay focused, and refocus, as things change and new information emerges.
