Are you on track??

Now that we are through almost 2 months of the year, ask yourself, “How is it going so far”? I hope you took the time to set goals at the beginning of the year. If you didn’t, then why not? And if you did, how much closer are you to your destination? Reaching a destination doesn’t happen by accident. It takes vision, desire, planning, preparation and execution.

Since about 1/6 of the year is gone (and you can’t get that time back), how are you really feeling about how your year is shaping up? Are you settling for a satisfactory series of accomplishments?

Let’s get honest here. We are the ones who shape our destiny, our reality, our future. So if you are truly on track and chugging along or ahead of where you would need to be, then you are achieving and that’s awesome. Remember, there will always be bumps in the road, obstacles and detours on the way. So don’t be surprised when things come up that will sidetrack you. Deal with it quickly and get back moving.

If you are convinced that you deserve what you set out to accomplish at the beginning of the year, then if deserves your complete attention and nothing should stand in your way of getting what you want out of life. Its good to keep life in balance too. Don’t lose sight of the big picture, especially family, friends, personal development, and enjoyment.

Here are some things to help with your goals and where you are at:

ON TRACK: Congratulations! The good news is, that you are doing great and you can build on the success and momentum. The bad news is, you may have some challenges and obstacles that will likely cross your path. They key is, how will you deal with your success? Now is not the time to sit back and rest. Now is the time to buckle down and keep things going in the direction you want to go. You may even want to take a step back and look into areas where you can get even better. The point is, don’t get comfortable.

OFF TRACK: Well, first off, the bad news. You are falling short and need to pick it up in one or more crucial areas. The good news is, there is still time to recover and get back on track. You still have 10 months to get it together and be where you wish to be at the end of the year. You should definitely take a look at what has worked and what has not. Continually make adjustments and tweak what you are doing until things start to flow. Get help from your superior or a coach. Someone outside yourself can give great insight and point out things in ways you may have not considered before.

Attitude: Stay positive and avoid negative people like the plague. Keep your vision for what you want and do not stop until your goals and dreams are realized. Stay in the game and keep advancing toward your dream and enjoy every day of the journey.

To your success

Ignite your passion!
