Are your decisions momentum-building?
|
July 24, 2019 -Are your decisions momentum-building? Do you feel confident that the choices you are making are propelling you forward in where you want to be? Have you defined what is most important and meaningful for your future? Have
you devised a strategy and action plan to get where you want to go? Every day we are faced with choices that need to be made in where we devote our focus and energy and how we spend our time, money and resources.
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to how you can choose and determine what is going to be the most momentum-building for you now and moving forward. What goals are most meaningful and important to you? Why are they important? What difference will achieving these goals make? What are you most passionate about? How is this
being expressed in what you do on a day-to-day basis? What strategies and action steps have you determined? What could or should they be? Are you dedicating a portion of each day to taking action towards your most meaningful and impassioned initiatives? When you hold yourself accountable to your dreams, you create momentum that rewards you in the most amazing ways.
