Take Full Control Of Your True Potential In 2017

   Okay, so we are in 2017. Let me ask everyone something. Are you allowing your past results to control your upcoming results? Or are you taking control of this year and putting your foot back on the gas pedal to jump back into the growth stage mentality? The growth stage is the most important part of this year. If you believe that you know what it takes to ultimately get to where you want to be and you shut down all forms of connections, insight, information or even feedback because you claim to know what you are doing, you have truly lost already. This year isn't about claiming what you know, it's about figuring out what you don't know and how to improve any skill you want to excel in. You don't know what you don't know. Let this saying run through your mind this year to endure in the process of continuous growth. 
 
   Every year you told yourself that you were going to commit to getting that dream job, income, invest, building a business, getting into the body that you always wanted, eating healthier, spending less money and learning more. Let’s see, how many of you actually wrote it down on a piece of paper? How many of you allowed yourself to consume this goal and to actually make it a part of your life? Did you start with a long term goal? Did you break it down into quarterly, monthly, weekly or even daily goals? Probably not. You may have started each year strong with short term goals or a long term goal, but did you ever break it down into sections? You want to be able to make it real to you. The more in depth you are with these goals, the easier it will be to articulate them and the more believable you make it. Don't set goals that are not expanding your mind. Human beings love progress so you want to stretch your mind as much as you can. Put yourself in these constant uncomfortable states to experience growth. You want to hit a goal that is scary and you also have to say, is it actually possible for me? If it is, go for it. You dictate what is possible for you. You need to determine what skills you are strong in and which you are weak in. Also it's up to you to make some intellectual decisions this year. As Joseph Campbell said, "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek".
 
   This year don't let secondary activities distract you. This is the year you start to absorb as much information as you can so you can finally start rising up to everything you've ever wanted. Remember this, things that come fast usually go fast. You want to build a solid foundation in whatever you are doing. Be consistent because as Jim Rohn says, "If you rest too long, the weeds will take over the garden". Stay on track, know what you are working towards, and keep it in front of you every day. Surround yourself with the people that want more, they will help you. Take this year serious. Don't look back once you are in 2018 and say, what another year of bullshit. This is the year. This is our year. This is your year. You bring into your life every single thing, no matter what you say. It may take some sacrifices but it will be worth it. The universe doesn't give you what you want. It gives you what you think about. Stay focused, stay on track, and let’s make this the best year to look back on
