Plan Your Ideal Future

Most people go through life in a completely reactive way.

They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But what if you wanted sweet tea?

If you really want to succeed in life, the very first step is being honest with yourself about what you really want and writing it down.

My favorite way to do this is with an exercise called The 10-Year Plan for a Remarkable Life. If you are like everyone else, chances are that you vastly overestimate what can be accomplished in a single day and vastly underestimate what you can accomplish over time with consistent effort.

Do things that scare you

It used to be the case that our comfort zone and our safety zone were more or less the same thing.
