Why? Are you stressed out, flailing or failing?

When we are changing anything in our lives it's easy to get caught up in the possibilities. We start trying everything we think of and, before you know it, we're tired, frustrated and not enjoying any of it.

At that point it's easy to say that we made the wrong choice and to throw in the towel.

But, before you do that, let me ask you a simple, one word question, "Why?". Why did you do this in the first place? What were you expecting to get out of it? Why do you wan to take that particular action?

When we chase all the possibilities we can get lost in an ocean of them. There are just so many different things we can do, say or try that, if we try them all, we end up overwhelmed and unable to enjoy any of them.

But when we focus, when we know what to say yes to and what to say no to, when we only stick with the options that support our main objective, we can be successful.

So the key is to know what your main objective is, what your why is. Once you know that, make choices that support it.

Action: Choose an area where you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or not getting results you want. Write down your why; why you are doing that particular thing. Only choose to do things that support your why.
