Hi Everyone!
Here's a fun little 'commandment' list I found that may help you with our current Challenge (and personal goal setting in the future). Enjoy!
1. Thou Shall Be Decisive: Success is a choice. You must decide what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it. No one else can, will, or should do that for you.
2. Thou Shall Stay Focused: Your ability to sustain your focus from beginning to end determines the time and condition of your outcomes.
3. Thou Shall Welcome Failure: The question is not whether you should accept failure but how to anticipate failure and redirect your resources to grow from the experience. You should expect failure as a temporary condition on the pathway of progress.
4. Thou Shall Write Down Thy Goals: Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. People forget things, so write down your goals!
5. Thou Shall Plan Thoroughly: Planning saves 10 to 1 in execution. Proper planning prevents poor performance.
6. Thou Shall Involve Others: Nobody goes through life alone. Establish your own "Personal Board of Directors" — people whose wisdom, knowledge, and character you respect to help you achieve your goals.
7. Thou Shall Take Purposeful Action: Success is not a spectator sport — achievement demands action. You can't expect to arrive at success without having made the trip.
8. Thou Shall Reward Thyself: Rewards work! Think of what you'll give yourself as a result of your hard work, focus, and persistence — you deserve it!
9. Thou Shall Inspect What Thy Expect: The shelf life of all plans is limited. No plan holds up against opposition. Everything changes. Therefore, inspect frequently and closely — it's an insurance policy on your success.
10. Thou Shall Maintain Personal Integrity: Maintain your commitment. Set your goals, promise yourself you will achieve them. Eliminate wiggle room and excuses.
