“Free yourself from the complexities and drama of your life. Simplify. Look within. Within ourselves we all have the gifts and talents we need to fulfill the purpose we’ve been blessed with.”- Steve Maraboli, Life, the truth and being free.

 

Constantly living in a reactionary state is draining. Starting each day with a dread of what may come is a terrible way to approach life. Not only does it wear on you mentally, it burns you out emotionally as well. In order to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go. A goal is simply something that you want to accomplish.  There are short term goals and long term goals. You should have goals in every category.

If you ever want to accomplish long-term goals, you first have to get a handle on your day-to-day activities. You can start by protecting your time, and being intentional about how you spend the time you have allocated. Block off some time each day for answering emails.  Maybe an hour or two in the morning, and another hour in the afternoon.  You may have heard this advice before and that is because it works.  The trick is to not to let other tasks encroach on your time blocks. Make an effort to avoid the things or people that steal your time.

When you infuse purpose into your day, life ceases to be a defined by the grind. Your day becomes a series of tasks that you tackle for a reason. Part of what gives purpose to your day is having a goal that is bigger than today.  If every day is a brick, your wall will get built over time.  Having something to work toward is imperative to combat the grind of daily tasks.

From the time you get up until you go to bed, purpose is what drives a life of accomplishment.  People who are successful know where they want to go, and they do the work it takes to get there.

Here are a few tips that can help:

  • Think about what robs you of your time each day. Make a list, and brainstorm some ways to get that time back.
  • Before you go to sleep, make a list of things you want to accomplish the next day. If it helps, choose one or two items as “must do” for tomorrow.
  • Stop snoozing your alarm. Pick a time to wake up that allows you to approach the day on your terms.
  • Once you have gotten a handle on the first three items, write down some bigger and longer-term goals. Set a reminder to review these goals once a week.

Don’t let time pass you by.  Make the most of it.
