    Life is a journey with many stops and achievements along the way.

    The first step to progress is to know where you are going. You’ll never know if you are going in the right direction without a destination. With out a target there is nothing to aim at. If you have a specific result in mind then you are already more likely to achieve it.

    The next step in reaching your target is to take massive action. No matter what taking action is better than nothing. Nothing just happens. You must deserve what you want. Even if you have a magic wand to make your dreams come true you have to take action and wave it. If this is what you really want then you must decide and make a commitment to do whatever it takes.

    The last step is to notice the results of the action you have been taking. If the results are good then double down. If they are not what you want then make adjustments. Keep making adjustments until you are getting all the results you want.

    If you climb to the summit of a mountain, you may stumble a few times. If you write a song you may erase a few words and replace them. If you paint a picture you may drip some paint.

    On your way to accomplish any goal you may have a few mistakes. Do you let these mistakes stop you are do you keep going?

    It all starts with your mindset and how you react to what happens. You must have self-descipline and belief to keep moving forward. You must keep the big picture in mind and the rewards of accomplishing your goals.

    We are all humans and to be human you have to accept that you are not perfect. We must embrace our errors and use them opportunities to learn and improve. We must not let errors discourage us from making progress and moving forward. We must understand that other people are not perfect either so we cannot hold them to an impossible standard or put them on a pedestal. We must know and prepare for mistakes and disasters by ourselves and by others.

    noiz viol8ion blog #431 – Progress Over Perfection

    I made a commitment to myself that I will value progress over perfection. I did this because for a long time I valued perfection and noticed I was not going anywhere. I was not happy because ultimately nothing was perfect especially me. When the standard is is unattainable then you will fail every time. When the standard is to get just a little bit better then it is easier to win.

    Blog #208 – How to get more done in less time.

    There are many distractions and traps out there. Everyone is fighting over you attention. They want you to look at their profile, to like their picture, to buy their product, to see their show or for you to give them your attention. Your attention and focus are the most valuable thing you have.

    How good you are at focusing is a predictor at how long its going to take you to finish something. If you know you are easily distracted then do what you can to eliminate distractions. Turn off notifications.

    Start with short bursts of focused attention. Set a goal to focus on something for 5 min and no longer. Use interval focus to make progress. Keep making progress and it will become a lot easier.

    In life there will be plenty of low points but these are what make your high points so special. Feel the pain and let it sink in. Let the pain of the low points motivate you to work harder than you are now. The pain is temporary but the victories will last forever. Do not get trapped in you pain and think it will last forever. Nothing lasts forever.

    You have to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You have to believe. The worst part is we often hold ourselves back because of some reason. We must take enormous action and have excited goals. Progress is progress and success is built on success. We must gain momuntum by doing the right things. Starting is the hardest part. The more you fall off track and restart the easier it will become.
