To achieve, you often hear about vividly defining the ideal end game, so that you can prioritize your current decisions. But you also are encouraged to not get distracted by the distant, dreamy future, but rather, focus on overcoming present, immediate obstacles, while allowing the results to flourish over time.
How do you reconcile contrasting advice?
Spend 80% of the time on succeeding in the present, and 20% crafting the desired future.
Ultimately, “success” is about what type of person you are on a daily basis. Do you embrace adversity, or shy away? Do you take care of business, or complain? Do you innovate and add creative value, or do you do the minimum?
Choose the right daily habits. And you can breed results.
But don’t sell yourself short on the results you can get. Dream big. Give yourself permission to dream big. What does *wild* success look like? What if you didn’t just live a pretty good life, but an epic life? What is your self-concept for what is possible? Self-concept is destiny.
Just remember, all you ever have is the here and now.
