n honor of thriving Thursday, I thought I’d speed things up a little bit. So today’s Kickstand is all about Motivation Mindset. So buckle up and away we go. Good morning it’s time to clock in!
How many of you reading this have a plan of attack for life? A set goal they’re currently striving towards? Could be anything, who am I to judge? Maybe it’s to lose 10 pounds before summer. Maybe, it’s to get that promotion at work. Maybe it’s to make your first million dollars, or perhaps just get the courage to ask out the cute girl with the glasses in Biology class.
Without a plan, what do you think will happen? Anyone? Probably not much, though you might get lucky just swinging with your eyes closed, and hit one out of the park.
But without goals, without a deep desire to succeed, most of us wouldn’t stand a Popsicles chance in Arizona. So what we do? How do we set these goals? And once we have how do we get there? What is it about certain people who always seem to succeed? Is that a thing?
No, of course not. The most successful individuals are where they are not because they’ve never failed, but because they’ve never given up. I’ll even bet they had a goal and a plan. Successful individuals get to the level they achieve, not only by setting goals but also by having a plan and visualizing their victory.
A professional freestyle skier visualizes his twists and turns and sticking the landing, a gymnast visualizes their dismount much the same. A good salesman knows his pitches and rebuttals inside out, and has gone over them god knows how many times. Visualization is paramount to a successful attempt at anything.
