That\u2019s a pretty simple formula, right? <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the deal: we\u2019re all striving towards life goals, essentially trying to live \u201clarger\u201d in some form or fashion. While the formula above isn\u2019t rocket science, we may need a gentle reminder about how to tap into our best self:<\/p>\n
Learn it<\/strong>. One of the best ways to achieve goals is to observe the patterns of success demonstrated by men and women who have achieved greatness. There are reasons these folks rocked it. Keep reading, learning and sharpening the saw. Take notes and do what they do.<\/p>\n Lose it.<\/strong> Create some awesome habits. We\u2019ve all heard that it takes 21 days to create a habit, right? Well, it turns out this is a bit anecdotal. The reality is that it may take longer– or less. What matters is that we keep trying and focus on developing our good habits. They WILL stick, eventually. At the same time, we should drop any habits that don\u2019t serve our purpose. Now. Simply lose them. <\/p>\n Love it.<\/strong> Life, that is. Life provides both sunshine and rain. What\u2019s important is how we embrace what comes our way\u2014opportunities, challenges, or people. Why not consider everything a stepping stone to our future and just say YES with enthusiasm and excitement?! <\/p>\n Live it<\/strong>, like Nike. Just do it, take action. It doesn\u2019t matter if we make a mistake, get off track, or (gasp) fail. Our plans don\u2019t have to be perfect in order to get started. What matters is that we keep going with dogged determination and persistence. If Plan A doesn\u2019t work, switch to Plan B or C, because as long as we keep moving, we WILL succeed.<\/p>\n Last of all, laugh<\/strong>. We take ourselves far too seriously. Tony Robbins suggests considering the big picture and how we will look back on a situation 10 years from now. The odds are it will be with considerably less worry and strife. So why wait? Find humor & laugh more\u2014especially at ourselves. Don\u2019t take life so seriously. It\u2019s certainly more enjoyable on the lighter side.<\/p>\n There they are, the \u201c5 L\u201d cliff notes to success: Learn it, lose it, love it, live it, and laugh.
