I read the perfect advice yesterday for being successful and happy. It was written by Jeff Herring, who calls himself a “recovering marriage and family therapist.”
He said in order to be successful at anything in life, you need to take the “CPR Approach.”
CPR stands for consistent, persistent, and resistant.
Consistent – in our actions
Persistent – in our drive, and
Resistant - to set backs and all those who may tell us we can’t do it!
How true is that! It’s so hard to keep that determination and drive we initially build in ourselves to make important changes in our lives. Life happens, and chisels away at our commitment when we are at our weakest.
It takes constant belief and trust in ourselves to build the momentum needed for change. It also takes total commitment.
But it’s hard to be totally committed to a goal when it’s not clear in your mind. Back to visualizing your Dream Life and exactly what it looks like.
When you have a clear picture of the kind of lifestyle and career you want to achieve, it becomes tangible. Real. Yours.
What would make you want to get up in the morning, with a big smile on your face? What would make life worth living? What would make you passionate about each day? Answer these questions, and you’ve got your goal!
Promise yourself that you will be Consistent in your actions, Persistent in your drive, and Resistant to set backs.
And to hell with those who tell you you can’t achieve your Dream Life! They don’t know the New You!
Happy Living!
