WOW, I feel empowered today!
I have been a sprinter and a marathoner, and there is a marked difference. At one time in my life (but not today), I loved both races.
The first days and weeks of this new year often bring a rush of energy and excitement about what lies ahead, just like being in a sprint. This year is no different for me. I've set meaningful objectives and crafted a solid plan to ensure I follow through. Tools like The 12-Week Year and Living Your Best Year Ever have equipped me to be a "small stepper." I'll build momentum by taking small, consistent steps daily and steadily working toward my goals.
While imagining the possibilities is exhilarating, I've learned that enthusiasm alone won't carry me to the finish line. The proof of commitment lies in the results, not just the initial excitement. I've been here before, only to see my enthusiasm dwindle as time passed. This year's key is discipline, showing up daily, even when motivation fades.
Another critical element will be support. Having someone walk alongside me, offering input and encouragement at least weekly, will keep me grounded and accountable.
I pray for the strength to stay focused and the resilience to maintain this excitement 12 months from now. Life will inevitably bring distractions, but persistence and the power of small, consistent actions will win the day. Every small step is a victory and a vote for the person I want to become.
This year, I'm not just hoping for change; I'm creating it. My objectives are clear, my plans are actionable, and my commitment is strong. I'll celebrate progress, not perfection, and adjust as needed to stay on track.
It's not how I start but how I finish that defines my success. Sprinting might feel rewarding initially, but marathons build the endurance for lasting achievement. I am focused on the long haul.
How about you? Are you ready to embrace the challenge of the long haul?
