Be Deliberate In Your Life

More and more I realize the key to happiness and success is in being DELIBERATE. Life moves too fast to be only reactive. If you want to be better at something, you will have to work at it. If you want to change something, you will have to work at it. Of course, for most of us, the list is long. I want to be successful in my marriage, parenting, work, health, my finances and the list goes on. So for each of those things, I need to be deliberate. I have to have intention and purposeful action set aside in each area.

Knowing that there is not enough time to be ever present in each area, do your best to stay focused. Pick 3 things that you want to work on and keep them posted front and center in your life. Pick 1 thing you can do in each area to make it better and DO it!

I am a HUGE advocate of reading. I think once we are done with school that there is little we do to learn and expand our horizons. Reading gives you the opportunity to learn and get new perspective in each area you want to work on. Don’t have time? Get audio cd’s and listen in your car or download a book and listen on your ipod. Come in to my car or look at my book collection and I must look like a needy self-help junkie. The truth is that I just know that I need to be DELIBERATE to get what I want. Remember, sometimes you have to do what you don’t want to do to get what you want to get.
