2.PULL vs. PUSH. You can't push a rope. And neither can you make progress most efficiently by pushing and forcing outcomes. In coaching, we work with clients to become more "attractive" so that they effortlessly draw to themselves what they want in life and move away from seducing or pushing to produce outcomes. Ask yourself: What am I attracting into my life? Am I pushing or pulling?
3.BE PERSISTENT. Continue to take action daily toward your dreams and goals. Patience and persistence are
crowning qualities of self-confident champions. Think of gardener who plants a seed and then waits for it to sprout and grow. He waters and nourishes seed even when he doesn't see immediate results, having faith that seed will develop into a beautiful plant. Persist! Ask yourself: What will I do today for my dream?
4.HAVE A SUCCESS PARTNER. Having a success partner to encourage and support you especially when you are discouraged or frustrated can make difference in achieving a goal. Sometimes our vision is blurred by distraction or discouragement. Having a supportive partner who wants big things for you and believes in you can help you stay course. You can do it on your own, but you don't have to do it alone. Ask yourself: Why not give myself benefit of having a success partner to support me in staying course?
"Know what you want to do, hold thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal." ~Elbert Hubbard
