“Time marches on” as the saying goes. 2026 has commenced. The annual ritual for many of us is to project out what we want to accomplish as far as work promotions or certificates/degrees (be); exercise, or weight loss, well being, vacations (do), and what we may want to own or obtain (cars, homes, etc.) (have). The “be” “do” “haves” for the next 12 months!
I think it is a good time to be reminded of who is actually in charge or control over whether or not these projections end up in a mental dust bin of forgotten dreams or manifest from mere thoughts to becoming desired realities.
Decision
Years ago when I used to conduct motivational meetings, particularly to younger professionals, I would ask “Who here has a goal of being an average person/professional?” Never was a hand raised. You may agree that becoming average at something you dedicate your life to is not a high bar to set. In most cases, all it takes is a firm DECISION to succeed at something. A decision to be successful at accomplishing a goal or even in life is one of those vital steps to success that often gets overlooked. The truth is if one decides on something with enough intention there aren’t barriers big enough to stop one. Think about that—If one wants something or has to have something bad enough, barriers have zero chance. We, each of us, have that much power. Winners in life possess the ability to clearly decide with 100% intention what a projected outcome will be and then gets it done!
Justifications for failures are not even considered by most successful people. They tend to take set-backs as bumps in the road, only to be solved on their trail to attainment.
“Winners win” is one of my favorite sayings. Winners know THEY are in charge of whether they reach their goals. Those that accept losing as an option THINK the environment, fate, others, political parties, weather, mother-in-laws, have control over their fates more than they do. Perhaps they just didn’t decide well enough to achieve their goal in the first place.
