Part One . . .
Getting to the finishing line requires more than just the thought of attainment, of achievement, of wishful thinking and planning If we want a desired goal to become a reality, bringing it to the pinnacle of fruition in our lives, we cannot simply manifest it by carefully mapping out plans on paper; it goes far beyond that. We have not even touched the breadth and length of what it is that gets us to the finishing line. It is deeper than the superficial rivers of excitement and highly charged emotions that we temporarily feel and bask in, hoping that this is it “this time.” It’s like attending one of the hottest, most revved up, self-empowering seminars - it sets our hearts on fire during that one, two, or three day life-changing weekend event, yet, we return to our homes, to our lives, only to lose the thrill and momentum of what we captured by Monday morning. This time, I’m afraid, is like all of the other times; we begin to strive toward a goal and give up way too early, for the journey has hardly begun.
Monday morning comes and all of the words that you heard, all of the power that rose up inside you during that weekend, are all “not forgotten” but has been banished from the mind-heart source that ignited such passion and determination during those three days. Silence sets in. Everything is gradually becoming a distant memory. Turning to the fine art of visualization and affirmations, these elements are good bridges but they do not provide the consistent sustaining that is required to fulfill your dream, goals, aspirations, accomplishments. Even soul-stirring mantras will not get you to the finish line.
There is one critical element in our blueprint of life that stands above all else in getting us to the finishing lines of our goals and desires – “self-imposed discipline.” Without it, none of us can achieve the mega success that we strive for, that we dream about. As long as we allow this critical key component to be consciously ignored, the finishing line will forever allude us no matter how we try. Why? Because we try without a willingness to have self-imposed restraints. This mission of self-discipline comes only with the acceptance of accountability in our lives. If we are held accountable, we will automatically turn things around in our lives; we’ll move faster and before we know it, we will have leaped right across the finishing line.
