Reaching for the stars

No-one has ever reached the stars with one foot on the ground. There's a reason they say "Guts AND glory" because it takes guts to really move forward. Potential is nothing without a follow through. It is just that; potential. Intention is nothing without action. It's just that; intention.
As the year approaches a close, skip the New Year's Resolution lists. Instead, take the wishes that usually fill up those lists and pick just one. Then set yourself a target. Now break the target down into things you can do within one year towards meeting that target and next to each small step write down what this will achieve. It could be a number, it could be an emotion, it could be a reward of some kind. Lastly break your action list down further, to things you can do monthly, then weekly, and again, write down next to it what you will be achieving.
What you have right there is a potential and a timeline. The stars are a little closer, but not within reach. You have to walk that talk. You have to take 5 minutes, just 5 minutes to act on that one little step each week, perhaps each day. Soon you'll be looking behind you at how many steps you've taken instead of how far you still have to go.
One last thing - drop the baggage. If it's not uplifting you, moving you forward or building you up, LET IT GO. Life's to short to live with a glass half empty attitude. Surround yourself with people who focus on the half glass full, and before you know it you'll be riding the wave to the stars, with nothing but sunshine at your back and good vibes at your side.
Potential + Action =success.
With a passion for health & well-being.
