What do you need to hear today?

What do you need to hear today? 

Maybe you need something to help you blow the roof off the mutha. Or maybe you need to settle in for a few minutes with a cup of tea for a relaxing moment of simplicity. 

Try this one: in a world of abundant possibility, freedom is making daring, high quality commitments. How willing are you to take the emotional risk of commitment on a scale of 1 to 10? How committed are you to your project on a scale of 1 to 10?

Commit harder. Commit deeper. Stretch your commitment by one. If you’re at a 6, what’s a 7? 

Today, whether you need to blow the roof off the muther, or sip a cup o’ tea, invest in the quality of your project.

That’s Step 1. Now, for Step 2. 

Today, take incremental action. Success is a tiny step. Big wins may look like giant leaps but they are actually a zillion tiny steps. Take small action today. 

Don’t go big—go small, every day. 

What little bitty thing are you doing today? 

Step 3: Focus. 

The best players mostly focus on the present moment. Keep your head in the game, focus on today, commit courageously to small action now. 

To recap: commit, take small action, focus on the present. 

Tip: The leap you may need is a leap of faith that small, quality actions every day will yield results, and that focussing on the now makes winners. 

Permission: To whine and bitch and moan and groan, if that’s what gets your head the game. 

Action: Take a small high quality action today that demonstrates your commitment. 

Stretch: Physically stand up and do it the instant you finish reading this email.

Bottomline: Commit to a small action today.
