Meditation is something that we’re constantly being encouraged to use. Every self-help guru, every highly successful individual and even many athletes trumpet its many benefits and the research too seems to back-up its value.
“Don’t settle for ordinary when extraordinary is within you.”
I love this simple quote from The OolaGuys—authors Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl—who remind us that we were designed by God for greatness. Each of us is here for a specific purpose.
If you’ve lost sight of your dreams or are going through a rough patch, remember that where you are now is not where you’re destined to stay. Tell yourself daily, This is just where I am. It’s not who I am.
All month long, we’ve been talking about the power of focus.
But did you know that staying focused on achieving your goals takes discipline?
Discipline is doing what must be done—even if you don’t want to at that moment. It’s battling through the daily grind and putting in the extra hours. But it’s also doing things consistently—like eating the right foods, practicing those new skills, or saving something every month for retirement.
Do you ever find yourself, ready for bed, feeling like you burned up the phone lines connecting with family and friends all day?
I know I do.
In unsettling times like these, it’s comforting to have that emotional support system. But have you ever wondered who you might call to help you with your most important life goals?
Your life was designed to be unique, compelling . . . exceptional.
And by taking action to achieve your OolaLife, it can be.
It’s your time to pursue the greatness that’s within you.
Of course, one bonus outcome you may not have considered before is how much just the pursuit of greatness will change you as a person. You’ll learn new skills, meet new contacts, and gain new wisdom. No one can take away who you become as a result of pursuing your goals.
