I have been delaying this important step far too long. The time has come where honesty with myself must be faced.
Reviewing our progress, our areas for improvement and our goals all fall within the category of accountability.
Ultimately, we are in control of our destiny. When we accept this reality, we are able to control the pressure we place upon ourselves to fulfill the accomplishments and achievements we wish to have.
When I look at my vision of what I would like to achieve or accomplish I am striving to adjust my mentality in regards to failure.
If I am unable to achieve a goal in a specified time frame it is not failure. I can be satisfied in knowing that if I am still moving forward or adjusting and planning to a new plan my confidence is renewed. I focus my energy on continuing on the path towards my vision and know I will get there.
In 2015 I learned some key foundation principles that are essential in creating and achieving a life of extraordinary happiness.
Personally, I list these life changing foundation principles as key factors for my extraordinary life change.
- Accepting Accountability- I realized that accepting accountability for my life, my actions, my reactions will greatly influence the outcomes I envision transforming them into reality.
- Understanding Core Life Values- Once we understand what our core life values are we can live our passions and what we love to do within these values. This will result in living an extraordinary life filled with meaning in a way that contributes to our happiness and overall purpose.
- Taking Action- This is a step that most of us neglect to act upon. I will admit my guilt in being complacent to this action. It requires trying new things, stepping outside of your comfort zone and disregarding the perceived definition of failure. It helps us discover what we like, what we don’t like, what works, what doesn’t work, and most importantly creates momentum. The momentum that is created is life changing because it will lead to clarity.
- Establish Your Support Group- It has become obvious that having a strong support group is needed in order to continually receive encouragement, motivation, help and periodic nudges when we lose our momentum.
2015 Growth Reveiw
The 2015 year presented me with many learning opportunities which I embraced with enthusiasm.
I joined the Live Your Legend community and started learning more about who I am, what my passions are in life and taking the initiative to take action and incorporate them into my life.
It was important for me to identify specifically what things I wanted to try and things I wanted to learn in order to construct a plan in order to work towards achieving them.
I was encouraged to start a blog to form a starting point to express my ideas and construct a learning forum to relate current learning about myself and the principles needed to live an extraordinary life.
Seizing opportunities is an important action required in order to take control of our lives and transform our visions into reality. This is an action I would like to focus more concentration on to develop a continual habit.
The opportunity to enter my blog in a blog contest presented itself. I decided to seize this opportunity and my blog was chosen as a winning blog. This solidified my belief that our opportunities are an intricate part of our outcomes.
Through the process of learning about myself I determined what my core life values are, ideas of things I would like to try/develop in accordance to my values, and dissecting the self limiting beliefs that may have been holding me back.
Joining the Live Your Legend community has allowed me to be part of a growing positive support group that will contribute to the progress and accomplishments of myself and others.
Some traits and skills I have identified as important to improve personally are; leadership, public speaking, writing foundations and concepts, positive self talk, helping others, project and goal planning, stepping outside comfort zone regularily.
2106- Embracing celebrating accomplishments big and small is something I have realized will be essential throughout each point of accomplishment and achievement.
Some planned activities will contribute to improved and learned traits and skills. When I completed the 63 day Insanity workout program it instilled greater confidence in my persistence level, resulting in overcoming a challenge.
Applying to become host of Barrie LYL will help to improve my public speaking skills, helping others, getting outside of my comfort zone and creating a positive support group for others.
Belief in my vision and path is continually increasing as I focus on enjoying the moments, creating interactions with others, helping others.
Improving my defined vision of what I am trying to achieve and the path needed to get there with proper planning, will help me gain momentum leading to the clarity of “my” Hatching Dream.
