It is so much fun when you read, this morning I was going through my daily ritual and read a piece from The Maxwell Daily Reader. This piece comes from author H. Jackson Brown Jr. He said ‘Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.’ I laughed and then thought about it.
How many times have I done just that?
So much activity on so many different fronts and no real results.
Why no results?
What was the problem?
Taking the time to think is so valuable, activity without direction will take to nowhere; you will be like the octopus. However thought, creative thought, will give you many options.
You will come up with:
What activity will produce the results you want?
What result am I really looking for?
Why am I after this result?
What am I prepared to do to get the result I am after?
This last question actually determines whether the end result is in keeping with what you really want. Then just do it.
Small steps every day will give you big results.
Have a great day.
