“Everyone has a ‘where they are’ and ‘where they want to be’ but very few cross the chasm because the ‘where they want to be’ is too far out into the future.”
- Jared Yellin
Where are you now?
And
Where will you be in 6-months?
These are the two most important questions you must ask yourself - regularly - and then you must execute on even if the “take action” process feels scary and overwhelming.
Let’s use Quality of Life as an example…
Where are you RIGHT NOW in your quality of life?
And be insanely honest.
Document everything from your energy levels, relationships, health, finances, etc. and THEN…
Declare where you will be in 6-months!
Everything must start with a clearly defined journey from Point A to Point B for the quality of life you desire to have and will create within the next six months. Far too many people think that their quality of life will come ONCE they accomplish their goals, but what if…(I repeat - what if) you could have it ALL the entire time because you define where you are and where you want to be from the get-go!
The same process applies to all of the major categories of your life…
Where are you now?
And
Where will you be in 6-months?
And the clearer you get, the closer you will arrive, but this is NOT an excuse to NOT take action.
What I mean by this is STOP worrying about crystal clarity and START worrying about consistent and never-ending progress.
Consistent and never-ending progress is the byproduct of defining where you are and declaring where you will be in a short period of time.
Your vision - IN ALL AREAS - requires the following equation….
PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS + PROGRESS =
YOUR VISION!
Progress is the silver bullet…
Progress is the secret sauce…
Progress is your path to WHAT YOU WANT…
The key…
Is consistency around PROGRESS!
Think about the person who wants to lose weight…
Once they build momentum - NOTHING can stop them - but once they stop momentum - NOTHING can get them started again.
Business, Relationships, Spirituality, Financial Growth, etc. hold this same premise…
Momentum BUILDS On Momentum - BUT you must take action to build momentum and momentum leads to progress and progress leads to YOUR VISION.
But this does not mean it will be EASY…
Not reaching your vision YET, does not mean you failed OR that you are not on the right track OR that you are unqualified to experience your vision…
All that it means is that you need more progress…
And your progress will be catalyzed by answering these two questions…
Where are you now?
And
Where will you be in 6-months?
“Everyone has a starting point and everyone has a ‘desire to get to’ point. The key is defining each and then crossing your chasm.” -Jared Yellin
