Episode #42 Dream Decide Do

Three Problems

• The most difficult part of accomplishing each goal is the final step: Do.
• Often times our lives do not measure up to the expectations we set for ourselves because we fail to make the choices that will lead to change.
• If we do not regularly remind ourselves of our dreams, we will lose steam in making those dreams happen.

Three Principles

• We have the power to make healthy choices that we’ve previously decided to make even when we don’t feel like it in the moment.
• The more compelling the dream and the more specific the decision, the more likely we will be able to accomplish our goals in life.
• Sometimes dramatic choices and big goals are more attainable than incremental choices and little goals because they align more closely with our dreams.

Three Practices

• When you are feeling discouraged about the trajectory of your life, remind yourself, “I am not powerless.”
• Whatever it is that you decide, do it for 21 days to create a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle.
• Whenever you relapse into negative choices today, rededicate yourself to making positive choices tomorrow.
