| How To Achieve More: Know Your Mission
One passage states "If you want to defeat them, distract them."
Another reads "divide and conquer."
In the game of life there is a constant battle raging within and
all around you for your attention. It’s like two opposing teams
wanting to occupy the same spot on the playing field. That
playing field being you. Each team is wanting to control where
you go, what you do, who you do it with, etc. It is ultimately
the unspoken goal of each of these teams to determine what you
accomplish in your lifetime. This battle is definitely a
detractor from your inner peace.
The only hope you have of gaining the upper hand in this
struggle is to develop and establish your own agenda. To get it
clearly defined and engraved in your own mind where you’re
going, and what you’re going to accomplish. If you don’t you’ll
no doubt be easily pulled off course or otherwise distracted as
those warriors, both internal and external push and pull you to
their idea of where you should be. Those who have an agenda are
very clearly more efficient in their actions. They know what
their mission is from day to day, month to month because it does
not change with the coming of any new season. They are not
easily distracted.
We are reminded daily in the news of the pit falls that people
and organizations run into because of being distracted in one
way or another. Businesses that have established themselves
through the years as being the best at whatever they’re the best
all of a sudden deciding, to try a different branch of business.
And of course, the list of examples of personal distractions
that lead to disaster is endless.
The phrase stick to the knitting comes to mind. Just because you
can do something doesn’t necessarily mean you should. When new
opportunities come along we must evaluate how they relate to the
successful completion of the mission. This implies that you:
Have a mission, and Are committed to the completion of this
mission. Getting clear in your mind where you’re going and what
you need to do to get there makes life simpler. More enjoyable.
You’ll act with more certainty and decision making is a breeze.
Because you know where you’re going it’s just plain more fun.
But first – You have to know what your Mission is.
And so the question for the week: What’s your mission? The fact
that you're reading this tells me you're on your way somewhere.
Where are you on your way to?
Just wondering. Thanks for tuning in.
Live some. Love some. Learn some. Everyday.
